Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer costs रु 6,99,920 less ex-showroom.
Choose the Yamaha Bolt if
You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

Very niche, expensive cruiser mainly for enthusiasts wanting a unique Yamaha V‑twin in Nepal. Poor value for mainstream buyers; great only if you specifically desire a rare factory bobber.

Pros
Distinctive 942 cc V‑twin character unlike any other Yamaha officially on sale in Nepal.
Authentic low‑slung cruiser stance and bobber styling for strong visual presence.
Imported, limited‑run model offers exclusivity; ownership feels special and rare.
Reliable Yamaha brand backing and basic dealer network support despite low volume.
Cons
Extremely high price for a motorcycle with limited features and basic equipment.
Official Nepal‑specific specs like ABS type, dimensions, and weight are not transparently published.
Very limited cargo practicality and comfort for pillions, restricting daily usability.
Spare parts availability and long‑term support may be challenging for such low‑volume imports.
