2009 Hero Honda Karizma ZMR FI
After months of speculation, finally Hero Honda is about to launch an upgraded and revamped version of it’s peformance bike Karizma. But, the performance bike market is highly competitive at the moment, and we wonder whether Hero Honda has done enough to keep pace with the Bajaj and Yamaha models. With competitors like Pulsar 220, YZF R15, Apache 180, etc, the Indian biker has a wide range of options available to him. For the new Karizma, the most notable improvement is given to the Honda engine at the helm. The Karizma ZMR gets a programmable fuel-injection based engine of 223 cc capacity. This immediately means better power and fuel-efficiency. It also has a full fairing, whose design hasn’t gone down well with bike enthisiasts across the country, based on the pics that have come out. A split clip-on handle bar is believed to make riding more comfortable in comparison to the older Karizma, which was widely regarded as the best touring bike in the country.
The colours expected to be available are white, red, blue and black. The split rear grab rails, fairing-mounted rear-view mirrors and a sporty new rear mud-guard are good add-ons. The bike also gets disc breaks in the rear as-well, and the ride quality on the gas-charged shock absorbers must be of great comfort. The revamped fairing has “ZMR” boldly emblazoned on it, but Hero Honda hasn’t publicised what it really stands for.
Overall, the bike doesn’t seem like it would beat the P220 or the R15. But, Hero Honda has been around for quite a long time now, and must know what they are doing. What’s surprising is that after this long delay in the new Karizma’s launch, the final product’s design seems to be a quick “panic” job. But, let’s wait until the Indian biker gets his hands on the Karizma ZMR and wait for his review. Until then, your guess is as good as ours!

@ambrose – there is no specific date given by hero honda yet. the pics u see here are spied ones. but, it does seem that they are in a hurry to launch the bike. especially since the competitors are coming hard! before the end of the year maybe. but we really are just speculating, tbh!

As far as i know the Ninja has already been launched in India though the delivery has not been started yet.It will be available in Bajaj pro biking showrooms.
The Ninja is priced at 2.7 lakhs approximately. It is driven by a 250 cc engine delivering an awesome 32 bhp power and a top speed of 176kmph. Hope this was the info you were looking for.
