But bikes were not hard to find in KTM we stayed in Thamel area twice and found hire shops all around our hotel (Kathmandu guest house)

Thanks for the info! Kathmandu must have changed a lot since my last stay early 2008 when I returned from Sikkim on my own Bullet. I want to rent a RE for a full month now but don't want to lose too much time in KTM. That's why I would like to book the bike in advance. Trip is planned for October so there is still plenty of time. I'm also still considering to rent (or buy) a bike from Lali Sing in Delhi. The new Himalayan looks promising.
