Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Yamaha R15 M BS6 is रु 56,100 cheaper ex-showroom (8.3%), while the Jawa Classic is ahead on dealer and service reach and power — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Jawa Classic if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 4 more service centres in Nepal (94 vs 90); 9 PS more power; 12.8 Nm more torque.

Choose the Yamaha R15 M BS6 if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 158 more showrooms in Nepal (247 vs 89).

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.
