what was all the hype about?? a bump of just 0.6 bhp - this is unbelievable! what happened to rumors of a 19 bhp zma? not fair HH, not fair! i thought the "fastest indian" crown was about to be taken from bajaj, guess i was wrong.

If that bike is not Liquid cooled then something under the fairing is gonna go boom pronto!
There is no way to cool an air-cooled engine in this bike. That's why I'm hazarding a guess that there is LC in this.
I can also see a HECS sticker on this..the Honda Evolution Catalysing System or something which is meant for cleaner emissions.

Default HUGly dissappointed

Hero honda is going to launch a new Karizma after 6 years and still
they didnt increased the power of the bike ...
I had a huge expectations on ZMR but all gone..
I appreciate the introduction of new technologies but i am still wondering what prevented them from increasing the powers ATLEAST the torque ..
Hero honda dont have the courage to take one step ahead .
It will try the same old strategy until they are completely out of the premium bike segment . Yamaha was also like this till few years earlier
they didnt had the courage to introduced powerful/stylish bikes in indain market. They thought all Indians want is a engine with two wheels that can run 100 km on a single litre ..Result their sales went down..Later they corrected their mistake and bravely introduced FZ and R15 (that too the costliest indian bike) .Both of the bikes selling hot.

I gave up all hopes on Herohonda after this.. i know they are helpless to some extend since Honda is not doing any R & D for them but still i cant forgive them for this . So we have to wait till 2011 or 2012 till Honda or yamaha launches a new 250 cc to break the 220 cc ceiling .

Thumbs down .....!!!!!!! speechless...

WTF.... Sorry but the old karizma looks much better.... My vote goes with R15 as the price is almost same.

Default The ZMR is here..oh yess!!!

I want to start this thread despite knowing theres already one existing just because Rohit Sud who is a friend of mine, shot the pix at the Hero Honda preview event held at the Leela. Without his presence we wouldnt be able to catch an early bird glimpse of this much much awaited and highly anticipated bike.

Mods, please approve this and close the other thread or merge it with this..Please, i hope you understand.

We promise you the review will be super but no promises about the bike, at least not just yet!
When I read this on BikeIndia, I kinda knew this couldn't be good news.
