my comment is for mr. Asb who saying yamaha r15 are costly karizma zmr than and it have only 150cc engine have karisma have 223cc engine but dear did you know R15 is much faster than karizma so what happened to karizma it have 223 cc engine . Dear yamaha giving international quality product. First drive than write comment.
October 29, 2009 at 7:38 pm
this is not a bike that we were expecting from hero honda it almost totally looking like old karizma and its price is also very high after comparing it with yamaha r15 and also its engine strength means its 225 cc now same as old karizma

Hey Nadir, Brijish and Raj..
M in mids of choosing between the new P220(carb) and KMR. I am pro P220 but lot of ppl i know are saying to wait till KMR proves itself on de road. Will fm de info i have gathered the KMZ is 3cc more than de P220 but give an output of 17.1BHP (Claimed), where as P220 is 21.2 BHP(tested). More over I was taking to the TVS racing team in Blore.. these guys say FI on below 500cc single cylinder bikes is point less. You find FI systems only on 600+ cc multi cylinder bikes. This is quite visible since de P220 FI was giving 18 BHP n de new Carb 1 is givin 21.1. Added to all tis P220 comes with the bi-zenon lamps which HH mite require a decade to think about… I am pro P220 cuz its been on indian streets for some time now n Bajaj has spent 2 variants in removing all de problems from the 220 series. Any advice guys???

price ids so high compare to quality

I LOVE KARIZMA ZMR FI
November 5, 2009 at 10:59 am
This one’s looking good………but the rear look did not match the front sports look of the bike……..also a double seat instead of a flat one would have brought the complete sports look…….”after all zmr is a mix of various hero-honda bikes”
November 6, 2009 at 6:45 am
the new karizma zmr reaily *****. its a bike born frm stealing parts from other bikes like pulsar,apache, gs150 etc. it will b a big floop in the indian market.
November 8, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I am using Karizma for past 4 years. I am weighting for the ZMR to come. I am not satisfied by the body of the old karizma. It was not strong enough. The chain connected to the engine and the piston looses its temper very often in Karizma. It need to be changed very often for the smooth running of the engine. The chain and chain spracket noice is more. Digital metere sencer also to be changed every now and then. Hope Karizma ZMR will over come all these problem to the crazy Karizma riders.
November 10, 2009 at 11:01 am
its too faboulas bike as compare to its price
November 10, 2009 at 11:19 am
Sadaf!!!
Dude wake up!! smell de coffee!!! have u checked out de bike or ur still dreaming about it!!! 6 clamps to hold tat plastic flaring which starts rattling as u reach 80+!!! its slower thn de old karizma n ya prakash your hopes have gone down de drain… HH took de old karizma n screwed it inside out n vala u have de new ZMR!!!
They put in a already failed FI which has been taken off from Bajaj n TVS bikes thanks to its low relaibility… they forgot about things like HID lamps, mono/gas filled shocks.. their punch line should be give us a bike n well surely mess its up!!! Its said fools learn from their mistakes n de dumb fucks still dont learn!!!
How does HH plan 2 survive de new indian biker who knows so much… Maybe they are counting on Sadaf ;)
Hats off dude!!! lolz!!!
November 11, 2009 at 10:13 am

November 15, 2009 at 1:06 pm
ZMR is an excellent bike its gona rok INDIAN roads by its look only i tink bcoz it has got imported loo so anywats ZMR IS THE BEST……….
November 16, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I ride karizma for more than 4 years I really like the new karizma ZMR but although the price is much higher,but the BHP is almost the same as the old one, i was expecting greater performance in every espects of the bike,.,but still i will definitely buy the new KARIZMA ZMR,.,.DHAK!DHAK!GO!!
November 24, 2009 at 9:04 am
heyyy everybdy jstt chill yar bike hi aa rahii ha bahgvan toh naiii

December 3, 2009 at 11:52 pm
im frm bangladesh.people in bd r really interested abt karizma.bt its really our bad luck tht we’ve been stopped after cbz extreme.and only for ds, people are here runn’g for pulsar.though im use’g apache, really im nt happy wth ds except fuel cons.and also i cnt like tht no competitors here against pulsar.we want karizma series on our road, howevr it is.
December 4, 2009 at 10:57 am
Hey!!!
Karizma ZMR, Front view is wow!!! But Side view is not so impressive, I think.
December 9, 2009 at 11:05 am
The ZMR needs an oil cooler as the stupidly designed fairing lowers stop all air from cooling the crank case leading to the area having much higher temperatures than the ZMA- and the cooled oil is supplied to the main bearings only, not the head, which gets only the oil pre heated in the crank case.
Also the fuel pump is not submerged in the tank as in other vehicles and already there are reports of pump failure due to overheating.
Beware of second hand ZMRs for sale……
December 12, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Don’t dare underestimate the bike by looking at the specs….. its definitely a wow machine…. and tht’s nt me who is saying tht bt the critics…… And this bike is nt a sports bike bt rather a sports tourer ….yet it manages to perform superior to many of the Sports bike out there in India(Basically, there r just 5 of ‘em)……. It is a hell of a machine and in no way inferior to the Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i (2009)…… The Bajaj is infact a fake claimer….. it says this is the fastest Indian… bt it goes no faster than 132-134 kmph bt the speedo indicates 144.. Karizma ZMR on the other hand easily reaches speeds of upto 127-128 kmph and tell me one thing… even if u buy these things , where the heck in India r u gonna test them??????? Karizma still has a better low end performance tht is infact achievable… something tht the Pulsar lacks….. and how come u think tht if a bike manufacturer can provide both good performance and low pricing, then also it doesn’t manage to set fire the sales records????? So, stop thinking and start riding the all new Karizma ZMR… Above all!!!!!!!!!!!
December 12, 2009 at 8:22 pm
tyres and body of the karizma zmr is not matching
December 14, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Dear Mr.Archangel,
Above all???? ZMR??? Ballz man!!! Check the consumer forum… 14 failed fuel pumps in ZMR till since launch.. tat is the online stats.. n when u pop ur narrow minded head to the hero honda service center ull find ZMR’s in for 1st service with failed fuel pumps!! :) coming 2 the top speed thing.. P220 2009 clocked 142 kmph n tats not the speedo reading tat was my GPS reading so ur fake speed claim goes for a toss!!! :)
N my dear friend to bring to ur kind notice we bikers in india have a lot of “heck of places” “in India” where you can test ur machine. Check out test tracks in chennai, hydrabad, delhi n pune… they are open for races as well as day to day testing.. ur ballz mite just drop on cin these tracks!!! Or if ur not de track person set ur bike on a dyno test machines at Pro biking and Castrol performace centers!!! So plz dont think we are piggi riding “In India”.
N who were the critics who misslead u buddy?
BSM dint rate it well, online reviews are bad… owner reviews are bad…
So my friend lessons lernt today :
1. Dont read performance, test it with rite equipment.
2. Dont blabber if u dont know shit about ur country.
December 20, 2009 at 3:25 pm
it is the best indian bike as compared to 220 by its classic graphics and engine and also from its capacity
December 21, 2009 at 1:26 pm
It looks very sexy bike, but it shows more dangerious if its tail light is same as Karizma R, and if its tyre size will increased than no other bike will effect its image. It will be the KING of Market, for a very long time. And its sale will be increased by 30%. rather than Yamaha R15 or FZ. It will rocks the Indian roads.
December 24, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Especially they have to think on “BHP”, 17bhp is not good.
December 24, 2009 at 5:25 pm
They should do an ad without “HRITHIK ROSHAN”, seeing hrithik on this bike is very very bad.
December 28, 2009 at 10:18 am
This is really very sexy bike . so just i purchase
this bike date 01-01-2010
December 31, 2009 at 1:05 am
ZMR sucks!!!
18 bhp for a 1lakh bike-only for idiots
and it cannot match pulsar 220 with its 21 bhp.
and those who think it is sexy are foooooooools!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and it is as beautiful as nana patekar………
220 rocks……………………..
December 31, 2009 at 2:52 am
Nana Patekar and beautiful can’t be said in the same breath.
