These are the prices of some Indian bikes in Nepal. BD bikes seem to be targeting the lower market where it's hard for Indian bikes to compete. Good strategy, but wait and see how Nepalis react. Especially since Hero does have offers at that price point, and it's hard to beat the reliability of Hero.
