Our verdict

Their ex-showroom prices are close enough to ignore, so specification decides it: the Honda Hornet leads on dealer and service reach.

Choose the Honda Hornet if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 167 more service centres in Nepal (207 vs 40); 138 more showrooms in Nepal (172 vs 34).

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.
