Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • The bike is priced at Rs 67.79 lakh ex-showroom in Nepal.
  • Resale value is niche due to the extremely high entry price and limited pool of buyers.
  • Ground clearance and weight are significant considerations for navigating typical Nepali road conditions.
  • The Triumph Rocket 3 R is listed in Nepal at Rs 67.79 lakh ex-showroom for one variant.
  • The Nepal listing identifies the engine as 2458cc, making it one of the largest-capacity production motorcycles sold in Nepal.
  • Buyers should confirm service-part availability and workshop support before purchase because the service network is more limited than mass-market motorcycle brands.
  • Kathmandu traffic, uneven roads and narrow parking spaces make the Rocket 3 R's weight and size important ownership considerations.
  • Resale is likely to depend heavily on specialist-bike demand because the purchase price is high and the buyer pool is smaller than for mainstream motorcycles.

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this bike's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
