Compared to a few years ago, the two-wheeler market has changed drastically. Motorcycles have become more expensive thanks to the recent increase in two-wheeler taxes.

Fortunately, this list hasn’t changed much.

Hero XPulse 200 4V has been removed from the list since it now costs more than Rs. 4 Lakhs. Instead. which has been replaced by the Hero Xtreme 160R.

Like before, the two-wheelers now are more environment-friendly engines with more refined performance and even more awesome features.

With all that in mind, we have selected the top 5 best bikes under 4 Lakhs in Nepal.

Best Bikes Under 4 Lakhs in Nepal

#5. Yamaha FZS FI v3.0 BS6

Let’s kick off our list with the Yamaha FZS-FI v3.0 BS6.

Yamaha FZ-S FI v3.0 is powered by a 149cc, Single-Cylinder, SOHC, FI engine. It can generate a max power of 12.4 PS at 7250rpm and a max torque of 13.3 Nm at 5500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated with a 5-speed gearbox with a 12.8-liter fuel tank capacity.

The BS6 iteration brings in engine refinements, fresh new colors, and a plethora of features.

Why Choose Yamaha FZS FI ABS?

Good Stuff

Yamaha FZS FI v3.0 sports a BS6-compliant FI engine, muscular styling, retuned exhaust, smartphone connectivity, and a single-channel ABS.

However, FZS shines the most in one simple regard: mileage.

It offers all the necessary goodies expected from a modern motorcycle. And, it does those while maintaining a good fuel economy when compared to others in this segment.

Bad Stuff

Price.

With the starting price of Rs. 3.94 Lakhs, it is subjectively more expensive than its rivals. And, Yamaha Nepal has discontinued the more affordable BS4 iteration for the Nepali market.

Adding to that, Yamaha FZS FI heavily compromises performance to achieve the highest mileage claim.

Fortunately, there are still some who prefer a muscular commuter over a fuel-guzzling performance machine.

Summary

Yamaha FZS-FI continues to be one of the best-selling Yamaha bikes in Nepal.

It sits comfortably well in its segment, offering decent performance, excellent mileage, and satisfactory features.

While its offering and pricing might not be everyone’s forte, Yamaha FZS-FI v3.0 still deserves to be in the fifth position among our Best Bikes Under 4 Lakhs in the Nepal listing.

#4. Suzuki Gixxer 155

Moving to another Japanese machine, Suzuki Gixxer 155.

Suzuki Gixxer 155 is powered by a 155cc, Single Cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve, Air-cooled FI engine. It can generate a max power of 14.1PS at 8000rpm and a max torque of 14Nm at 6000rpm. 

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed transmission with a 12-liter fuel tank.

Gixxer 155 gets a revised look, inspired by the Gixxer 250 design without overpowering the original Gixxer DNA.

Suzuki Gixxer 155 Feature Highlights

• Suzuki Gixxer 250 Inspired Styling
• 155cc Air-Cooled FI Engine
• Naked Sporty Design
• Single Handlebar
• Upright Riding Position
• All LED Headlamp and Taillamp
• Aggressive Headlamp Design
• Dual Disc Braking
• Single-Channel ABS
• Digital Instrument Console
• Double Barrel Exhaust
• Split Seat Setup

Why Choose Suzuki Gixxer 155?

Good Stuff

We always had a soft spot for the Suzuki Gixxer 155.

It is an underappreciated motorcycle, especially with excellent design, punchy performance, and a justifiable price tag.

Furthermore, Gixxer 155 leads the segment in the braking and flexibility aspects.

If you were looking for a muscular bike with decent mileage figures and excellent engine refinement, then this is it.

Bad Stuff

Suzuki Gixxer 155 is perfect in almost all regards, except for its high-positioned pillion seat.

It is near-perfect for solo rides, whether for daily commutes or long-distance rides. However, the same cannot be said about its aggressive pillion seat.

The pillion will feel uncomfortable and awkward regardless of the riding distance.

Summary

Suzuki Gixxer 150 is a highly underrated naked motorcycle.

It packs in the punch, looks, and almost everything one might expect from a 150-160cc engine.

If you want to take the experience a step further, then you can go for the Gixxer SF for a sportier riding experience.

Honestly, it should get the attention it very much deserves!

Unfortunately, Suzuki Gixxer 155 fails to live up to its potential due to Suzuki Nepal’s lack of marketing effort.

That’s why Suzuki Gixxer 155 is in the fourth position in the Best Bikes Under 4 Lakh in the Nepal list.

#3. Hero Xtreme 160R

Making its first-ever entry on this list, Hero Xtreme 160R.

Hero Xtreme 160R is powered by a 163cc, Single-Cylinder, Air-Cooled, Fuel Injected engine. It can generate a max power of 15.3 PS at 8000rpm and a max torque of 14 Nm at 6500rpm. 

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 12-liter fuel tank.

Xtreme 160R checks most boxes for being a value-for-money offering.

Hero Xtreme 160R Feature Highlights

• New Muscular Styling
• BS6-Compliant FI Engine
• XSENS Powered with 14 Different FI Sensors
• Auto Sail Technology
• Engine Kill-Switch and Hazard Light
• Droid LED Headlamps with LED Taillamps, and Winkers
• Inverted LCD Console
• Compact Sporty Exhaust
• Integrated Pillion Grab Bar
• Side Stand Engine Cutoff
• Dual Disc Braking
• Single-Channel ABS

Why Choose Hero Xtreme 160R?

Good Stuff

Hero Xtreme 160R brings something completely new to the table.

It features a brand new 160cc Fuel-Injected Engine, Street Fighter Stance, and many segment-leading features.

Hero MotoCorp even managed to include LED Indicators as standard!

Surprisingly enough, the asking price is also more reasonable than other outgoing 150-160cc BS6-compliant motorcycles in Nepal.

ALSO READ: Hero Bikes Price in Nepal: Features and Specs

Bad Stuff

If I had to nitpick elements in an otherwise excellent motorcycle, I have to point out one simple thing: Air-Cooling System.

It is a 160cc engine with an impressive powertrain.

However, it could have done more with either Oil-Cooling or Liquid-Cooling. Perhaps, it is a method to bring costs down.

Hopefully, Hero learns from this and introduces another cooling system in its next update.

Summary

Like the Gixxer 155, Xtreme 160R is a great offering.

Despite its minor faults, the good aspects clearly outweigh the bad. However, Hero Xtreme fails to live up to its true potential due to Hero Nepal’s lackluster marketing.

Nevertheless, Hero Xtreme 160R boasts a perfect balance between performance, features, styling, and price.

That’s why Hero Xtreme 160R is in the third position in the Best Bikes Under 4 Lakh in the Nepal list.

#2. Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS

Climbing our way into the 200cc segment, it is the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is powered by a 199.6cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-valve, Liquid-cooled, Triple-Spark, FI engine. It can generate a max power of 23.5PS at 9500rpm and a max torque of 18.3Nm at 8000rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a 12-liter fuel tank capacity.

Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS is an ever-green naked sport. It still holds its value by offering great performance for the money.

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 Feature Highlights

• Aggressive Masculine Design
• Best-in-Segment Performance!
• Triple-Spark DTS-I Engine
• Halogen Headlamp with Twin Pilot Lamps
• LED Tail Lamp
• Perimeter Frame
• Telescopic Front Forks with Nitrox Rear Monoshock
• Dual Disc Brakes

• Analog Digital Instrument Cluster with Blue Colored Display

Why Choose Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS?

Good Stuff

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 comes with a powerful FI performance, muscular styling, and a Single-channel ABS.

It has almost everything one might need from a performance powerhouse.

It hits the sweet spot in cornering, high-speed stability, and satisfactory pickup.

While it is still weak in the features department, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 continues to be the most popular bike in the 200cc segment.

ALSO READ: Bajaj Bikes Price in Nepal: Features and Specs

Bad Stuff

The sheer popularity of Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 is also dragging it down.

Over the past few years, there hasn’t been much of an update. It still gets the same design and same features with a few color changes here and there.

Moreover, it is concerning to see the price inch closer to Rs. 4 Lakhs mark. Fortunately, there is a standard ABS Carb variant (priced at Rs. 3.69 Lakhs) available for affordability.

We were hoping to see a major facelift in the BS6 version, rather than just a color refresh.

This is why it has lost its top position, shifting to the second position on our list.

Summary

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS is still the best bike in its segment.

It sports the best performance for its segment, even more than its rivals.  Unfortunately, it has slowly lost its steam in face of growing competition and a lack of revolutionary features.

If it does not get any updates within 2023, then it might lose its top-dog position forever.

For now, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 FI ABS is in the second position in the Best Bikes Under 4 Lakh in the Nepal list.

#1. TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6

Unsurprisingly, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 wins the top position in this list.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 12-liter fuel tank capacity.

Why Choose TVS Apache RTR 200 4V?

Good Stuff

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V was always a good bike. It already came with a digital meter, twin-barrel exhaust, slipper-clutch, and many more.

These features were already a rare commodity for a bike in this segment.

Surprisingly, TVS Nepal has improved on something already great.

Moreover, it now offers Multiple Riding Modes, Radial Tyre, Adjustable Lever, Adjustable Preload, and more!

Compared to other rivals in this segment, Apache RTR 200 4V is a steal!

Bad Stuff

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 is an overall improvement.

However, it still misses out on its sixth gear. It is the only factor that pushes riders to NS200.

Hopefully, TVS Motors will provide the much-needed update in the future.

Summary

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 is an interesting motorcycle. It has a crazy number of features on offer for a 200cc machine.

It has everything one might expect from good naked sports. Despite the lack of Sixth Gear, it continues to be an undeniable offering.

This might not be the bike everyone needs, but it is something every one of us deserves
