Will Honda Nepal do it this time ?
The issue with crf and xr till now that it was imported from Thailand (crf) or Taiwan (xr - i heard somewhere), when you import bikes from Indian you pay in INR when you import from anywhere else than India you pay in USD. This combined with shipping etc has made the crf/ xr very expensive till now.
But now that changes with the Honda XR 300s, yes Honda Nepal has history of making even the Indian imported bikes extremely expensive here compared to other brands like Hero, Triumph, KTM, but my only hope is now, for these models they will assemble them here and get the prices down.
If they do so the bikes must arrive here at around 7lakhs, which would be a steal. Im selling my triumph for that no doubt. But if they as usual import them with the Jyoti tax then a big finger to them. All we can do is hope now.
(Just look at this red beast)
