Our verdict

Their ex-showroom prices are close enough to ignore, so specification decides it: the Honda Shine 125 BS6 leads on dealer and service reach.

Choose the Bajaj Pulsar 125 if
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 37 more showrooms in Nepal (209 vs 172).

  • you want servicing within reach of where you live

Measured: 18 more service centres in Nepal (207 vs 189).

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.

What we have actually checked

Price movements we logged
3 recorded since August 2026

Each is a dated change we applied to a published ex-showroom price after checking it. A logged change may be a distributor's revision or our own correction coming into line with the official figure — the log says which way each one moved, and when, not why.

Trim prices distributor-verified

These trims are listed at their published ex-showroom price, but none has been checked against the distributor's own price list yet — so treat the figures as indicative and confirm at the showroom.

After-sales reach in Nepal
