Hero Honda Karizma Zma Prices and Reviews
More Photos | Video

From the day I heard of the new Karizma's imminent launch, I was barely able to conceal my eagerness to ride it. And since I heard of it only day before the launch, I didn't have to wait for long. You see, waiting only serves to build up expectations that are entirely the outcome of cubicle speculation, something that happens all too much in the office since we're busy looking for things to discuss in order to procrastinate our work. And it's become something of a habit, since I seem to be doing it here too! Alright, without any further delay, let's get on with the Karizma ZMR. 
 
Yup, that's what the new 'Zma is called. And it doesn't look anything like the older one. The most obvious addition is the full fairing. Physically, the ZMR looks like a full-size motorcycle and loads of presence, especially in the red and white colour options. The big restyled headlamp helps the bike look big too, while the tail lamp is now an LED unit and it sits in a rear section that looks similar to the CBZ Extreme's. The all-new digital instrument cluster looks super cool and the read-out even issues a greeting (which I cannot recollect now) every time you switch on the bike. It also indicates real-time fuel consumption in addition to the speedometer, trip meter, fuel indicator, clock and rev counter.

i think that HH engineers concentrated both the bike and its rider. That's why it is india's most safest bike. It also maintains its stability at high speed.There are no vibrations at all. But about Bajaj engineers they just concentrated on the bike to make it is fastest bike with more power but indian roads may dissapoint you a lot. p220 however is the fastest but its not safe. HH ZMR is the well all rounded performance bike..Also the two priceless things you will gain when you buy a ZMR are the ''self confidence'' and ''the king of the road feeling''.. the engine of p220 is not smooth at high speeds with a lot of taud sound and vibrations

Hi i am a bike lover,and i have a karizma,and i like my bike it looks good, but i suggest that the price that we pay for the bike there chould be a bit more pep in the bike,at least the instant pick up should be more,and the bike should not be straining to take off,also the head light should be off better and powerfull,as it is the problem off hero honda bikes as fare as i am concerned,the pulser light is better. so why can't hero honda do some thing about it

People who have DRIVEN any bullet at 165kmph won't be alive to tell their story b'coz of the vibrations and the economics involved. Good to see someone made it in one piece. I will take the pulsar or the ZMR anyday. Thank you :-)

I THINK THE NEW KARIZMA ZMR IS JUST LIKE"NAYE PACKET MEIN PURAANI JEANS". Though it is the new karizma zmr...new features are not added in it like engine kill switch etc.performance gets a slight change but the power remains the same 19bhp.the rear tyres remains the same...it could have been replaced by p220 mrf zapper.the new visor looks good from the front but it looks worst from sides.The chain cover could have been replaced by open ones.now a days stunner also have open chain cover because it looks sportier.

HH should have given at least 20 bhp to this bike as it costs 98000 onroad.. where as pulsar 220 gives 21 bhp for 83000 on road.. so most of the buyers will still go for P220...

i wish that hero honda would have installed a mono shock suspension... the bike would look more comfortable to ride and it would be a new and modern thing for hero honda....
