Im going to be in nepal for a little more than a year untill i go out

Which scooter should i buy the aprilla sr 160 or the ather 450x with the 3.7kWh battery( these are my top choices open to other brands as well)

Ill be doing 10-25 km everyday and about 40 km in weekends

I would like it if i can take it outside valley ( max 150 km)

This is my first scooter

So i have been eyeing few bikes for some time. Im 17 currently, have ridden few bikes here and there and main source of travel was my scooter which i have ridden since 7th grade. Im pretty aware while on the road and im planning on getting a bike now. My 2 options are RE Meteor 350(Supernova) and Triumph Speed 400. I have done some research on the speed and i have heard that there are some stalling issues and service cost is very expensive. Im pretty avg on income. And the RE felt comfy, but heavy whereas the speed felt light but the pillion seat lookd a bit narrow. BTW i will be using the bike for everyday use, and few long tours here and there. Im not a thrillaholic but i like a punch of acceleration when i want to overtake and the Meteor seems to be lacking on that department.

Please tell me the cons and pros you have faced with the two bikes and what should i choose?

So I passed my bike trial yesterday from Pokhara, and the guy who was there taking our details mentioned to visit office back again after 10 days with 1500 Rs to pay for new license. Now today, when I checked on the official site for license, it has an option to pay 1500 from the portal, but says online payment is not enabled for this office. Does this mean I can now visit transport office and pay for new license since its in official site or should I wait for 10 days?

Royal Enfield Nepal le ali customer ko perspective bata ni sochnu paryo.

Nepal ma RE ko fanbase casually built bhako haina people genuinely love the brand for its legacy, charm, and riding feel. India ma kati dherai variants, proper pricing, value-for-money options haru cha. Tara Nepal ma chai limited options, unclear launches, ani pricing herda kahile kahi logic nai bhetdaina.

Guerrilla 450 jasto bike, jun India ma accessible/value-focused segment ma position gareko cha, scrambler 400x vanda ni cheaper xa but nepal ma 2lakh badi xa price

RE Nepal owner haina royal enfield ko distributer matra ho so serivice dine kam vayexi ramro service dina paryo they js taking benefit off this monopoly system .

Just curious if there’s anyone here who never learned how to ride a bicycle at all but still learned bike later on 😅

I’ve literally never ridden a cycle in my life, but I kinda wanna learn bike now because using Pathao/InDrive even for short distances is getting hectic and expensive. Feels embarrassing to start this late too lol.

How hard was it for you? Any tips for complete beginner? Anyone here who mastered bike without knowing how to ride a cycle?

Like any short Tips & Suggestions

Or ..... some insights

I recently bought Yamaha Ray ZR and I have to go to my first servicing very soon, and the scooter itself has reached less than 200km but it is recommended to do first servicing after 1 month.

So, just to manage my budget and my mind,

1. how much does it costs normally for servicing?

2.How much time do I need to spend and I don’t have to leave my scooter at the service center, right?

Because I will have to leave early for office the next day.

Also, anything you would like me to know (as I don’t know anything about scooter and the servicing), you are very welcome to do so :)

I'm about to buy the newest model of the RE classic 350 and am wondering if I should wait for the prices to do down as I've heard from some people that the tax rate is gonna go down.

What do you guys suggest?

So, Currently i’m using vega bolt and i’m planning to upgrade to a new helmet around 10-12k which one should i go for and where could i find genuine one and don’t get the copied one.

Ma chai 1st time bike kinna lageko. Ghar najik ko bike ko showroom ma Jada, pulsar 150 2017 model ko 1 lakh(little negotiable) ma milxa vandai thiyo tya ko manxe le. Bike ko sound ma Halka problem xa rey, maile line bela sab milaidera clean Parera dine rey. 48000+ km raixa. 2 previous owner. Is this a good deal?

I’m 19 years old and planning to buy my first bike soon after my license exam. I’ve never ridden bikes before, so I’m looking for advice from people with actual ownership experience.

My budget is STRICTLY under 5 lakhs and I only want a brand new bike, not second hand.

About me:

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 85 kg

Beginner rider

Will mostly ride in Kathmandu city traffic

Daily usage around 15 km total

Occasional pillion rider (friends/family/girlfriend)

Long rides are not a priority, but I would eventually like to do solo rides to places like Dharan or Chitwan someday

What matters most to me:

Reliability / peace of mind ownership

Low maintenance cost

Good fuel economy (around 40 km/l minimum would be nice)

Good spare parts availability in Nepal

Comfortable enough for daily traffic

Dual ABS if possible

Modern features are VERY important to me

Gear position indicator is important

Navigation/Bluetooth is also important

Good ground clearance for Nepali roads

Things I DON’T care much about:

Top speed

Racing

Loud exhausts

Resale value

I prefer refined and stress-free ownership more than aggressive performance. I’m okay learning on a heavier or slightly intimidating bike if it’s manageable long-term.

One bike I’m currently considering is the NS200 mainly because it seems feature packed, but I’m not emotionally attached to it and I’m open to better suggestions.

One bike I really DON’T like is the Pulsar 220F mainly because of the design and older-feeling features.

Based on my situation, what bikes would you recommend and why? Also, if you think the NS200 is NOT a good choice for a total beginner, please explain why.
