Home / New Bike Prices / Benelli / BN 251
The Benelli BN 251 sold in Nepal is a compact quarter-litre naked motorcycle aimed squarely at car owners who want a more engaging, yet still approachable way to deal with city traffic and weekend highway runs. With its Italian-inspired styling, proven 250cc engine and dual-channel ABS on the top variant, it sits as an aspirational but usable step into big-bike territory for Nepali buyers used to four-wheel comfort.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 18 Jul 2026.
The BN 251 carries the familiar Benelli naked-sport silhouette, with a muscular fuel tank, exposed steel trellis frame and compact tail section that give it a mini big-bike presence on Nepali roads. The design is clearly influenced by larger Benelli TNT models, so even though it’s a 250cc, it looks more substantial than many commuter-focused rivals. The ABS top variant sold here has the same aggressive headlamp cluster, 17-inch alloy wheels and tidy underbody detailing, and it stands out in city traffic dominated by more utilitarian motorcycles. For car buyers crossing over, the overall aesthetic feels closer to a European street bike than to a typical budget Nepali 150–200cc machine. That helps its showroom appeal.
Under the tank is a 249cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected four-stroke engine, tuned for a balance of usable performance and everyday reliability in our conditions. Various Nepali and regional sources quote outputs in the mid-20 horsepower range and around 21 Nm of torque, and all agree that the BN 251 pulls cleanly through the revs with enough punch for quick overtakes on the Ring Road or short highway stretches. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, allowing more relaxed cruising at higher speeds compared with smaller-capacity bikes that feel busy and noisy once they leave the city. Owners and reviewers in Nepal report real-world fuel efficiency in typical Kathmandu traffic that is respectable for a 250cc. So it can work as a daily alternative to a car for solo commutes.
