hi bro problems can happen in any of these machines and i wont blame ma bike for any of the things happened because it was not an inherited one,but was the mistake of HH SVC guys(some untrained hand)
So if you like Karizma go for it, its a good bike with some great touring ability and still has that incredible look and some nice performance figures too though maintenance cost is a bit high compare to rivals but the long term maintenance figure is really low.
One thing i can advise you is never Believe any mech 100% may they have 10 or 20 or 50 years experience with bikes and same thing with the HH SVC i was completely taken away from ma real issues by a HH SVC guy who's having some 17 years experience with HH
Keep your bike your own as much as possible try to avoid others using it or let others to use it only in presence of you even it s a SVC guy
If you are a beginner then find time to learn all technical aspects of the bike learn how NOT to use a bike than how to use it.
XBHP is a very good site where you can find a lot of experts and one can learn a lot of things from here, there is an owner ship experience thread where you can share and read issues related to karizma
and before gonna buy one do test ride on P220, R15 and ZMR(hope you did it with Karizma r) as i said before never go and buy one because of someones suggestion,...........
BEST OF LUCK BRO......
