You can't be careful enough on nepali roads. Accidents happen only too frequently. Again, a motorcyclist was just reported to have been killed in Kathmandu near Singhadurbar when he was struck by a taxi. The victim was 21.

I absolutely prefer motorcycle transport.聽 I drove for 2 years and the only accidents I had were just me being clumsy (no injuries).聽 You have to keep your head on a swivel, which is true of every place you go on a bike.聽 Besides that, to see Nepal from anything other than on a bike is a lesser experience.聽 Owning a bike is pretty easy too and when petrol is short, you will be ok.聽 There is a bit of a process in buying one but it's doable.聽 On a bike you can avoid most of the terrible Kathmandu traffic.
