Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Yamaha FZ is रु 64,100 cheaper ex-showroom (15.8%), while the Honda Hornet is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Honda Hornet if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live

Measured: 118 more service centres in Nepal (208 vs 90).

Choose the Yamaha FZ if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 69 more showrooms in Nepal (244 vs 175).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
