The emission standard of BS6 is much stricter when compared to BS4. BS6 fuels are much cleaner compared to the BS4 fuel since it contains less sulphur, leading to lower emissions or pollution. The much-awaited BS6-compliant Royal Enfield Classic 350 is yet to be launched in the Nepalese market. At present, the 350cc motorcycle is available with a starting price tag of NRs. 5.15 lakhs in Nepal. The Classic 350 BS6 continues to use the same underpinnings as the BS4 bike while the power difference isn’t much. Here is a quick comparison between the BS4 RE Classic 350 and the BS6 RE Classic 350.
