Honda Hornet 2.0 Price in Nepal and Availability

Honda Hornet 2.0 price in Nepal will be Rs. 4.98 Lakhs.

Unfortunately, it was previously priced at Rs. 4.59 Lakhs, opening Honda Nepal to widespread criticism.

Due to the recent two-wheeler tax hike, the price has jumped a whopping Rs. 30,000! In contrast, Yamaha’s popular motorcycle offering has only seen an Rs. 15,000 increase.

Hornet 2.0 comes with great new features that will redefine the segment forever! However, it still does not justify that high asking price!

Honda Hornet 2.0 will compete with Yamaha MT-15 BS6, Yamaha FZ25, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 ABS FI, and Suzuki Gixxer 250.

Ironically, all of the “competition” is priced lower than Hornet whilst being a better offering is most regards!
