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.
