Bajaj Pulsar NS125 costs रु 12,000 less ex-showroom. Apache RTR 160 4V has 5.6 PS more power.
It is the most powerful 125cc motorcycle in Nepal, offering the premium 'NS' naked-sport styling at a more accessible price point than its 160cc or 200cc siblings.
Strong performance and features for a 160cc bike, so if Nepal pricing remains close to rivals it is good value for riders wanting sportier dynamics without premium pricing. Best suited to enthusiasts who want ride modes and Apache brand appeal but can live with single-channel ABS and simpler equipment.
