Blog posts of '2023' 'January'

The Jawa, Jawa 42 or the Jawa Perak? Which of these revolutionary bike models have you heard about? Or are you even familiar with the name Jawa? Or do you confuse it with the Royal Enfield? Too many questions at once? This blog will answer it all for you!!

JAWA GLOBAL
The founder of JAWA Motorcycles; František Janeček was born on 23rd January, 1878 in Klaster, a small village in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic). He was the founding father of this giant motorcycle empire that it is today. Over the course of serving in World War One, he designed and patented over 60 inventions that included many ammunitions like the improved hand grenades for the CzechRepublican Army. As the European nations were turning their manufacturing expertise towards the evolving motorcycle industry, František Janeček too saw an opportunity here.

“JAWA was not built from scratch”

Instead, František Janeček purchased the motorcycle business Wanderer from German manufacturer Winklhofer & Jaenicke, along with the design and tooling used for the manufacturing process. How did JAWA got its name you may question?

“Combining the first two letters from “Janiček” and “Wanderer”, the first Jawa motorcycle was conceived – the Jawa 500 OHV.”

Trying to manufacture low weight, practical, efficient and faster motorcycles for the larger mass, JAWA stepped into the category with the JAWA 175 and discontinued their first ever JAWA 500 OHV. Furthermore, JAWA introduced a majority of its motorcycle models with 250cc to 300cc engines that majorly focused on speed, endurance and durability. After 1939, JAWA motorcycles were heavily seen in the domestic race tracks of Czechoslovakia. Even though World War Two, had made their company to forcefully manufacture weapons as per the Nazi orders, Janeček secretly went onto designing and manufacturing the now very famous; JAWA Perak.

“The 60’s and 70’s was when JAWA actually took over the Motocross and Enduro World.”

This was the time when the JAWA’s durability claims had made it so loved that it was being exported to almost 120 countries world wide. JAWA was now everywhere. JAWA INDIA In the 1960’s, JAWA made its entrance into the Asian pie of the globe. It entered into India under the licensed partnership with Ideal JAWA. Initially they imported the JAWA motorcycles into the country. The JAWA 250 series was very popular among the urban Indian youths dues to how simple, rugged and strong the motorcycle was as well as due to the very many races that it won. JAWA became so popular in India, a complete manufacturing plant was established in Mysore, Karnataka, that manufactured the JAWA 250 types. The Ideal JAWA company then manufactured a completely different motorcycle under the technical surveillance of JAWA namely; the Yezdi. This 1970’s launch was not well digested by the Indian as well as some Asian nations. This model was actually the first step of JAWA’s downfall. Major motorcycle companies like Honda, Yamaha had already entered the market by then manufacturing more fuel efficient and energy saving two-wheelers that were way better and cheaper than the JAWA motorcycles. And a major competitor, Royal Enfield took over the market share of JAWA.

In the year 2018, JAWA motorcycles was taken over by the Mahindra group in India. They launched the JAWA and JAWA 42 during this re-launch of the brand. It was a fresh start for JAWA under new leadership and a vast market to explore and cover.

JAWA NEPAL
As JAWA took its first re-launch steps in India in 2018, Agni Motonic under the Agni Group of companies took the role as the sole official distributor of JAWA motorcycles for Nepal. In the mid of october, 2020, Agni Motonic officially announced their JAWA launch for Nepal. Jawa Nepal, pretty similar to JAWA India launched with the motorcycle models JAWA and the JAWA Forty Two. The JAWA Classic, as the original patent motorcycle from JAWA is priced at Rs. 7,05,000 (for the single channel ABS) and Rs. 7,36,000 (for the dual channel ABS). The newly launched fresher variant of the JAWA 42 2.1 is priced at Rs. 7,71,000. The Forty Two variant and the classic have very similar features with some distinctions that justify the price differences.

The JAWA Perak is the hot topic of the town. The Perak is well known for its looks and the signature single seater seating arrangement that makes it differ from any other similar looking cruiser motorcycles. The jet black JAWA Perak can be seen cruising around the valley these days. This beauty is the most expensive JAWA bike available in Nepal, priced at Rs. 8,20,000. Directly competing with the Royal Enfield and Bullet 350, JAWA is a fairly new player in the cruiser motorcycle market in Nepal. We can see the slow growing popularity of the motorcycle due to its simplicity, ruggedness and durability. I hope JAWA Nepal has planned to get more of the amazing model os JAWA motorcycles for the urban youths to make it a “KOMMUNITI”.

MV Agusta started off as an aviation company inspired by the Wright brothers? Within the first ten years of the first ever flight taken, MV Agusta aviation company was able to manufacture an airplane named the AG 1. Later they proceeded to manufacture many airplanes when they secretly jumped into manufacturing their first ever two-wheelers. After the sports version of the MV 98 was released, MV Agusta’s official entry in the racing sector was declared. Since then this Italian bike; MV Agusta, has dominated the race tracks.  

BODY OVERVIEW:

It actually looks like it could cut through the winds. The headlight positioning, windscreen and side mirrors are clustered together into an inverted triangular shape. The Windscreen does not have ample wind protecting height and the mirrors are not much outward facing causing less visibility on the sides. But the more packed and sharp the head of a sports bike is, the faster it goes, so we can't complain.

“Headlights are sharper than a tiger's claw!!”

“The front side indicators are mounted onto the side mirrors.” Well that's pretty sick!! Just look at the Gigantic fuel compartment and the body structure around it, these sharp edges!! This bike isn’t here to play. Comparatively, it is much smaller than other sports bikes but its overall design integration makes it feel much stronger.

 “Motorcycle Art”: MV Agusta’s tagline really complements F3 675. Instrument cluster is fully digital from the speedometer, odometer, trip meter, ra Clock, ABS Light, Fuel Gauge, Low Oil Indicator, Low Battery Indicator and other major features are included too. Being the true sports racing beast it is, the handling and riding position is well structured for the bike’s sporty and racer feel.

Continuing the racer aesthetics is the rear section as well, the seating position is designed rather aggressively. But the F3 675 has a well designed ratio from the footpegs to the seat height which actually is comfortable for all heights. The handle positions definitely give a little strain on the back of the rider but

"THIS IS THE FUN OF RIDING THIS BEAUTY!!!”

Look at the way the bike flys at the rear!! Amazing!!

Seats are a bit stiff and less cushiony which could be improved but race bikes are meant to be challenging right?? We can track some small indicator lamps and the tail lamps are integrated into the pillion seat. The most beautiful scene in the rear is the 3 exhaust cylinders. Look at how well it is placed. The ALS Steel Tubular Trellis Frame peaks near the exhaust along with the Thermoplastic Fairings. The MV Agusta F3 675 has all the features that a racer's dream bike should have and the dual tone colors on the bike adds the icing on the cake.

ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE:

HIGHLIGHT OF THE  MV Agusta F3 675:

“Speed is what racing beats are built for”

MV Agusta F3 675 Price in Nepal 

The price of Mv Agusta F3 675 in Nepal is Rs. 43,90,000. It is available in beautiful colors like the AGO Red/AGO Silver, Pearl White and Matt Avio Grey. It has paved its way to be among the most expensive two-wheelers of Nepal, but surprisingly it is actually the most affordable bike among other MV Agusta bikes.

CONCLUSION:

“When beauty meets the beast”

The MV Agusta F3 675 has been listed as the top 400 Most Beautiful Bikes in the world. Along with its art-like design, its roaring power can be defined by every specification and feature it possesses. From its amazingly powerful engine and 3 cylinder exhausts to the air bending design, We can now say that, “MV Agusta F3 675 is the dream bike for the racer.”

This bike is made for the race tracks and not exactly for the streets, but it does perform well on the streets with black topped paves and smooth roads. Very specifically, this bike is designed for a racer and ride enthusiast. Due to its handling and seating positions and the mileage it gives, the F3 675 would not be the most practical daily usage bike but for a racer point of view, this is one the best bikes a racer could ever dream of.

Directly targeting the premium race enthusiasts, MV Agusta manufactures only 8500 bikes a year, making it fall among the small bike manufacturers of the world. This shows how MV Agusta focuses on quality rather than quantity when designing their everlasting race beasts.

Did you know that the original vehicle manufacturer alone manufactures and supplies two different variants of spare parts in the market. Imagine what the secondary market and more importantly the aftermarket industry looks like??? The number of fakes and duplicates???

“In the US alone there are over 1100 spare auto parts manufacturing businesses and imagine the number of retailers and wholesalers who are selling these to the car manufacturers, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and even the aftermarket industry.”

The spare auto parts market is globally a well flourishing business that has its reach to every nook and cranny to serve what the vehicle owners require to maintain, modify and protect their vehicles. The asian side of the globe is always forward in terms of the automobile industry as major car companies have their entities based in the asian lands. Similarly, the spare parts industry is massive to reciprocate the demand for spare auto parts in this region.
“Let’s be more specific to the spare parts of bikes.”
In such a small country like Nepal, we can witness the densely populated spare parts market spread all over the country. From genuine spare parts to the duplicate aftermarket spare parts, the nepali market has everything to offer at varying price ranges. Not all spare auto parts sellers sell genuine or company stamped products. There are three listed variations of spare parts available in nepal. They are listed below:

A. GENUINE AUTO PARTS
- These spare parts are the ones that are ethically manufactured by the vehicle manufacturer themselves or company contracted manufacturer. These are the most expensive variation of spare parts as they are genuinely made to fit for the vehicle with original company logo, stamps, RFIDs and more recognizing factors. These spare parts are built to last and perfectly complement the vehicle they are used in and are warrantied by the vehicle manufacturer themselves. In the context of Nepal, there are companies and stores that sell genuine spare parts for brands such as TVS, KTM, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Bajaj and other more two-wheeler companies. It can be difficult to find genuine and original spare parts for some older versions of bikes and scooters and can be a really heavy penny for the pocket.

B. OEM (ORGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTUER)
- OEM are the outsourced manufacturers that are appointed by the original vehicle manufacturer to produce spare parts under their specifications and quality guidelines. OEM spare parts are exactly the same as genuine spare parts but are packaged under the label of the outsourced company but the product inside is the one that exactly fits the vehicles of the manufacturer. Outsourcing is always a cheaper way to operate and do things. So outsourcing the spare auto parts manufacturer, the vehicle companies save a pretty penny under this route to manufacture. It also makes these spare parts much cheaper and affordable than the original ones. These OEM parts are accredited by the original vehicle manufacturer, are of the best quality, fit for your two-wheeler and available easily at an affordable rate. Thus, this variation of spare parts are said to be the best quality ones for the best price. Nepal’s market is filled with such dealers who sell these OEM spare parts for similar companies mentioned above. Consumers in Nepal also prefer to buy these OEM spare parts in Nepal due to the advantages of affordability and trusted quality.

C. AFTERMARKET PARTS
- These variations of spare parts are generally made for the most popular vehicles and are counterfeited from the original spare parts designs and quality. As the name says Aftermarket parts, this explains that these products are generally a copy and duplicate of the genuine and OEM parts that already exist in the market. They lag in quality, accuracy of the fit in the vehicle, guarantee from the original vehicle companies, the companies logo and accreditation marks. Some aftermarket parts could be manufacturing even better quality spare parts than the OEM parts but the majority of them heavily differ in quality. They are way cheaper than the genuine and OEM parts and are less durable as the materials used to build are not the best in quality. The Nepalese market has a wide market for the aftermarket spare parts that will help buyers save a hefty amount of money. These aftermarket parts heavily affect the entire vehicle in performance and even deteriorate the vehicle in the long run.
The Nepal market for spare parts of bikes and scooters is very diverse. There are people who only prefer genuine parts and some vehicle owners who want to settle for the cheapest product possible. To keep one’s vehicle healthy, it is highly recommended to at least use the OEM products to save some money as well saving the vehicle from future damages. There are some well renowned spare parts sellers in the Kathmandu Valley are Auto Spare parts Nepal, Nepal Auto Deals, Yamaha Genuine Spare parts, Honda Genuine parts, Shree Deep Auto center and many more stores that we might have missed.

Do mention the names of the stores in the comment section below, that you know of sells the most reliable Spare parts in Nepal. And always be careful on what you invest your penny into specially for the assets you love.

Counterfeits, Duplicates, Mock-ups, Lookalikes are some words that are used to describe the unauthorized spare auto parts that we will be discussing below. The fakes of the original spare auto parts have a market of their own. It is called the secondary or the aftermarket. As mentioned above about an Indian states net worth of fake spare auto parts industry, we can only imagine how big it is and its impact on the market of genuines and originals.

“The fakes, OME’s and the genuines, they cannot be easily separated until someone really recognizes the real ones.”

The duplicate spare parts in Nepal and all over the globe look so promising and real that normal buyers can be easily tricked through simple manipulation about the fakes being genuine spare parts. The look of it is sold to the buyer. Its quality, durability, reliability and performing abilities are not even in measurable level with the original ones. Once the buyers here in Nepal are manipulated by their “known sellers”, they eventually regret their decision to purchase such cheap spare parts here as it shows how defective and harmful it is in the long run. These counterfeit spare parts directly affect the engine failure, break failure, electric hazards, weak protective screens and more. To be more aware about what is genuine and what is fake, NepaliWheels has curated a list of critical points that helps one recognize the originality of a spare part in Nepal.

a. Uncommon Packaging
- If there are any misspellings and unsettling phrases in the packaging then these sort of spare parts are duplicates. As the duplicates are made to replicate the originals they are made in a way that is an exact lookalike of the genuine packaging but they definitely lag in the simplest things such as spellings, color accuracy, design placements, company logo and ID placements, phrasing mistakes and more. This will simply determine and differentiate the fake spare part from the original.

b. Serial/Batch Number
- All genuine and OEM spare parts in Nepal and globally come with a specified serial or batch number. This serial number will help the buyer trace back the originality and genuinity of a product. A counterfeit will not have a real serial or batch number that is used as an ID for the spare part that is to be sold. This is an important determining factor for a genuine spare part.

c. Hologram
- These are illuminating stickers on the packaging of the spare part that showcases a camouflage image of the company’s logo and branding. This along with the serial or batch number is important to determine that these spare parts have come from a genuine manufacturer either the original company or the OEM manufacturer.

d. QR Code
- QR Codes are scannable codes that trace the genuinity of the spare parts. When the spare auto parts are actually genuine, each of these spare parts actually have their own unique QR code that can be scanned for details about the product and its manufacturer. If the spare part is fake, the QR code cannot be scanned by a smartphone.

e. RFID Tags
- RFID or Radio Frequency Identification are the electronic tags that are printed onto the packaging of the spare parts or the spare parts themselves. These RFID tags are majorly seen on the more expensive and higher value OEM spare parts which is generally tracked by the manufacturer of the spare parts. These RFIDs help the customers get the genuine spare parts, as it is a sign of verification from the manufacturer that this product is real and reliable.

f. Asymmetrical auto part components
- One very obvious way to recognize the fakes is the spare parts themselves. Counterfeit and duplicates are manufactured in mass and in a hurry without any prior attention to the quality of the spare parts and the materials used. As they are literal copies of the original company made and OEM spare parts, the build of the look-alikes are completely different and not durable at all in comparison to the originals.

g. “Made in ....” Labels
- This may look minor but the “Made in ...” tag plays a huge role in customers' belief and their understanding of genuine and fake. If these tags are written as “Made in India”, “Made in Japan” or “Made in USA”, customers are likely to believe that the spare parts would be genuine. But counterfeiting these “made in ...” tags are very easy to print. If a duplicate spare part is labeled as “Made in india”, consumers here in Nepal would happily purchase the spare part. Misinformation is the key to customer confusion.

h. Wide price difference
- The other most obvious way to recognize a fake spare part would be the unbelievable price gaps between the genuine spare part market price and the duplicates. If the discount rates on important spare parts are aggressively high then it is a matter of concern as the genuine spare part’s market price is not saying so. Counterfeits are a BIG NO!! No matter what to elongate the health of one's two-wheeler it is essential to take good and accurate care of it. Feeding in unreliable spare parts and auto parts into the vehicle's system would affect its long-term performance and would be a burden to the owner themselves. Thus, it would be wise to research a bit more and invest a little more into genuine and OEM spare parts in Nepal.

A two-wheeler is regularly a difficult vehicle to ride. It has to be well balanced, operated and rode by an individual. If a second individual is added onto the two-wheeler, the task gets even more complex. Not as complex as I made it sound here, but both the rider and the pillion passenger are equally responsible for making the entire ride more safe and smooth. We have curated a list of 7 tips that will leverage safe travel with a pillion and these tips are directed towards both the rider and the pillion.

a. Can your two-wheeler handle a pillion??
- This one is for the riders. Can you bike or scooter currently handle a pillion passenger? Is it able to function normally with an additional weight onto it? The rider must first recognize if the current status of the bike or scooter is fit enough to handle the pillion. This can be an unsaid fact that two-wheelers are able to handle two people on them but some uncertain situations might occur when the rider has to be aware of.

b. Pillion Helmet is a must!
- The helmet culture for pillion passengers in Nepal is non-existent. People here find it unnecessary to put on a safety helmet during a two-wheeler ride. But it is a basic necessity that people here quite don’t understand and follow. During an unfortunate incident, there are severe injuries to the pillion passenger rather than the rider as they are not well protected, especially they do not have a helmet on them. Thus, it is essential to recognize the importance of pillion helmets.

c. No unnecessary movements please!
- This is very general yet crucial information to the pillion. Sudden unprecedented movements are disturbing the riders ability to ride safely. As the rider is responsible for balancing the two-wheeler, the pillion and riding the bike as they are on the handles, a pillion passenger must be aware of their movements and not distract the rider under any circumstance.

d. Safe distance between the rider and pillion!!
- If one is not comfortable in tightly holding the rider, a safe distance close to the rider must be maintained. Closer the distance, safer for the pillion during sudden accelerations and brakes. If the distance is wide, there are heavy chances of the pillion falling off the two-wheeler and causing casualties.

e. Communication is KEY!!
- Information and alerts before sudden brakes or heavy acceleration of deceleration is very important to maintain as the pillion is unaware of what the rider would do next. The rider must be able to inform the pillion passenger about the sharp turns, brakes and speed bumps so that the passenger in the pillion seat can prepare themselves to be safe.

f. Longer travels? Backrests? YES!!
- Keeping the pillion passengers' comfort as a priority here, if the two-wheeler is out on a longer ride, a backrest is a must. It can get really uncomfortable for the person on the pillion to not lean onto anything for a long period of time on the road. An uncomfortable pillion passenger will try to find a comfortable seating position where they will have to continuously change their positions. Consequently, there may occur a disbalance in the two-wheeler and uncertain situations might take place.

g. Eyes on the ROAD!!
- Yes, the rider, obviously and then the pillion has to have their eyes glued to the road. It is necessary to be aware of the foreign situation and elements surrounding the two-wheeler. As the pillion passenger is able to navigate what is happening on the road, it will be easier for them to react according to the rider's tone of movements. It will be easier for the rider as well as they will not have to convey everything to the passenger seated on the pillion.

Are you planning a two-wheeler trip this cold winter? Do you think you’re prepared for the ride? Do you have all the essentials? Did you make a checklist? Don’t worry NepaliWheels has you covered with the list of essentials for your trip!! It’s getting super cold. The weather is getting gloomy and chilly. With some sunny weekends that you witness, you would want to make the most out of it.

“Why not visit a short ride location for a short winter getaway?”

Around the valley, Dhulikhel, Nagarkot, Chandragiri, Bethanchowk, Kulekhani, Pharping are some of the most popular locations that can be easily reached through two-wheelers. These are 2 to 3 hour rides on two-wheelers, generally short, but it is crucial to be careful on the road, pack essentials for yourself and the vehicle specially for the winter season. Trips on two-wheelers are cold and windy, it's necessary to keep yourself and the vehicle safe from the winter winds. We have listed some very important things to put on your short winter trips essentials checklist, specifically for your entire ride on the bike or a scooter.

a. Protective gears for the rider
- Accessories such as a thick windproof jacket, a baclava, neck warmers, windproof gloves, knee guards are the key protective gears required as a necessity for winter rides and as we’re talking about trips on two-wheeler, it's a must. These gears are better explained in our article namely “Gears for Rides: Winter Edition”. Gears are essential not only for the riders but the person sitting on the pillion seat must also be well protected from the winter winds and more importantly pollution in the valley.

b. Head Gears
- Head gears include accessories such as a protective full helmet, LED headlamps, earplugs, and more. A full coverage helmet is a must for both the rider and the pillion passenger. Helmets have dual protective advantages which include safety from accidents and from the cold winds during the ride. Earplugs may sound new but they are important for longer rides as it plays an important role in eliminating the harsh sounds that enter through the helmet's crevasses. LED headlamps and protective goggles can be attached onto the helmet itself. Anti-Fog visors are a must during these cold rides. You can know more about how to make your helmet’s visor anti-fog in our article namely “Worried helmet visor fogging up”.

These above mentioned points are more inclined towards the rider and the pillion passengers protective tips for the two-wheeler trip. Now we will look more into how the two-wheeler should be taken care of during these harsh winter rides.

c. Tire Plug kit
- These are the small portable tire plug kits that are used when there is puncture that can be handled by minor plug fixings. The availability of two-wheeler workshops is low when one is on the road. So it is important to have small fixtures and spare tools such as screwdrivers, ball-end allen keys, combination spanners etc on hand for any minor emergency that can be fixed by the rider themselves. These plug kits come in handy as the roads on the trips are unpredictable and minor pointy objects could result in massive punctures to the tires.

d. Chain Lubricants
- These lubricants can be available in smaller bottle versions that are fit for travel kits. Winter roads are dry and dusty which causes the chains to be covered in these dust and alien objects on the road. Chain lubricants must be kept on hand so that it is easy to simply lubricate the chains for a better and smooth ride.

e. Battery check
- A battery check before, during and after the ride is really essential. During the winters, the most affected part of a two-wheeler is the battery. Due to the temperature, the viscosity of the liquid inside thickens and makes the battery’s performance low. This will impact the bike or scooter’s electric ignition, electricals such as the lights, horns, head and tail lamps and more.

f. Antifreeze additives
- These are the additional special coolants that prevent the water in the two-wheelers radiator from freezing. These additives are an extra mile of protection of the two-wheeler's engine in the cold freezing winters. These antifreeze are easily available in an already mixed mixture and can be directly added to the system to make the engine function smoothly even after a freezing winter night.

g. Bike covers
- These are another small element to protecting the two-wheeler, specially when it is parked overnight. The alien location might not have a designated parking facility. So, to be on a safe hand, it would be wise to take a bike/scooter cover of your own to cover and protect the two-wheeler from any external agent.
These small gears and protective elements can be easily stored inside the scooter underseat storage or if the two-wheeler is a bike then a small dry bag would be more than enough for these essentials to make your winter trip safe, smooth and hassle free.

Yamaha: this reminds me of the music as well as the motorcycle industry. Being able to excel in both the industries, Yamaha has been able to set a name for itself in every widespread genre it enters into. Yamaha has its roots that originate from the small town of Hamamatsu in Japan. Torakusu Yamaha was always fascinated with western Science and Technology. This led him to taking up watch making, studying business and as well as repairing medical equipment as his hobbies. Yamaha as a company came into existence when Torakusu Yamaha was once invited to Hamamatsu Jinjo Elementary School to repair a Reed organ; a musical instrument. He then saw potential in the reed organ manufacturing industry and started creating his own variant of reed organ with the brand Yamaha. Improving his organ, studying music theory and tuning made him complete the actual organ that everybody loved. It is really surprising how a pioneer in the automobile industry today, once came into existence through the musical instruments industry and how its manufacturer had his hands on every technical knowledge back in the time.
Yamaha as a reed organ manufacturer was established in the year 1887 A.D. He then continued manufacturing more musical instruments that ranged from the original reed organ, piano, guitar, trumpets, drums and beyond. In the year 1955, the Yamaha company saw a turn. They split into an instrument manufacturing company and an automobile; specifically motorcycle manufacturing company. The first ever Yamaha motorcycle was the YA-1 Motorcycle, nicknamed “The Red Dragonfly”. This bike was a 125cc, 2 stroke, single cylinder street bike that was sold in Japan solely. Slowly and gradually it moved towards 250cc street bikes and even an outboard motor.

IN 1963,
“From participating in the World Grand Prix to collaborating with Toyota in manufacturing a Toyota 2000GT sports car to being featured in a James Bond movie to winning its first 250cc Daytona Grand Prix, Yamaha has seen it all!!”

Then comes its era of excelling the two-wheeler industry, globally. Yamaha started manufacturing commuter vehicles from the year 1960. Henceforth, this company has been unstoppable. Yamaha did easily enter the Asian market of the globe. After being established as Yamaha Motor Corporation in the USA, it made its first entrance into India in the year 1985. With multiple changes in the company's policies of establishment and launch to the Indian market, in 2008, the “The Indian Yamaha Motor Private Limited” (IYM) was established.

In terms of Nepal, Yamaha Nepal (now called MAW) and the Escorts Group under 50:50 joint venture agreement, launched Yamaha automobiles into Nepal in the year 1996. Since then, Yamaha has become one of the most popular, consistent and loved brands in the Nepali market for two-wheelers. MAW now controls companies such as Yamaha, Yamaha Music, Fiat, Skoda, Greaves, JCB, Escorts and more. Talking more about Yamaha; the motorcycle company, Nepal was blessed with the well built Yamaha bikes and scooters since it entered Nepal. The most iconic Yamaha bikes include the FZ series and the R1M series and the most iconic Yamaha scooters include the Ray ZR series and the Fascino model.

The Yamaha bike price in Nepal ranges from Rs. 3,28,000 to Rs. 4,80,000 for the FZ series whereas the racing model R1M series ranges from Rs. 5,20,000 to Rs. 5,90,000 (prices are round figured for convenience). The Yamaha MT 15 price in Nepal ranges from Rs. 4,80,000 to Rs. 4,95,000 (prices are round figured for convenience). It is a new model of Yamaha Nepal launched in early 2022. Yamaha scooters include the most expensive Nmax model, the Yamaha Fascino models and the Yamaha Ray ZR models. The Yamaha scooter prices in Nepal ranges from Rs. 2,20,00 to Rs. 2,97,000 for the Yamaha Ray ZR variants, Rs. 2,18,000 to Rs. 2,68,000 for the Fascino variants and Rs. 4,70,000 for the Yamaha NMax 155 (prices are round figured for convenience).
Yamaha’s bike and scooter prices in Nepal range from a wide variety to specifications and models. The versatile nature of Yamaha two-wheelers has made the company move its way upwards and only upwards. Yamaha Nepal has made its way to the top tier two-wheeler companies in Nepal. This shows how its versatility, consistency and variation in product has bought the company good brand name and recognition among the users widespread all over the provinces of Nepal. We are waiting for Yamaha Nepal to further expand its horizon of two-wheeler models to more sporty and youthful bikes and scooters.
