Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • The Triumph Bonneville T100 is officially available in Nepal at an ex-showroom price of Rs 28.19 lakh.
  • Prospective buyers often express concern about ground clearance on rougher Nepali road conditions.
  • Resale value is perceived as stable due to the brand's premium positioning and limited supply.
  • The Triumph Bonneville T100 is sold in Nepal at an ex-showroom price of Rs 28.19 lakh in one variant.
  • Its classic roadster format suits paved-city riding and touring, but Nepal buyers are likely to consider ground clearance, narrow-road manoeuvrability and the cost of repairing premium components.
  • The T100 has no under-seat boot space and is better suited to riders who can use a backpack, tank bag or aftermarket luggage for longer trips.
  • Its price places it well above mainstream Nepali motorcycles, so ownership depends more on brand appeal, performance and exclusivity than on running-cost value.
