3)ZMR will be better choice for taller riders around 6ft! as R15 is little puny for ppl like me when compared with ZMR

Just my personal opinion..

Thanks,Points valid and Acepted!

I don't mind the lack of liquid cooling...not required considering the ZMA's operating temperatures and rev-range. What HH should have done to satisfy a real rider is:

1. Tubeless tires and light-weight alloys [EDIT: Apparently the Zma has this...Thanks for shouting at me Akhil!]
2. Better front brakes
3. 6 Speed Gearbox
4. HID headlamp or at least higher output headlamps
5. slightly wider and stiffer seat
6. Stickier tires

but the kind of people who buy more zma's than the "real rider" don't want any of the above...all they want is:

1. Funky digital instrumentation
2. Full faired look
3. A cooler of some kind
4. A bigger price tag

And HH has delivered...

Watch it ratchet up record sales

If these would have been implemented along with a Liquid Cooled enginel, This machin would have been

Why is everyone so hung up on a feature that offers zero performance gains in the real world? Unless you are revving the crap out of your bike it is never going to heat up enough that air-cooling would become redundant.

Small capacity high-revving bikes are also heavy on oil and maintenance in general - remember the 2-strokes? Ever hear of the Mazda RX-7?

Go for what you need...what you really need. I'd love to boink Trisha or Asin but that doesn't mean that my college sweetheart would be any less awesome under the covers...Plus she will definitely stick around longer providing quality service for a lifetime

Thats a really good example GS!! I would have loved it if the ZMA came with that CRF230's 240cc kit and 6-speeder! The ZMA has tubeless now, not light-weight alloys! I think it still comes with that ENKEI alloys..

P.S: Spending quality time at home, eh?

6 speed box would've been killer. Don't know what've happened to the famous torque spread that the Zma has, but whatever.

Dude...the ZMR indeed has the best in class front brakes. Did you mean dual front discs??
also the tyres now provided are tubeless as standard fitment.
The seat also happens to be a gr8 stock seat by far.

Rest what you said is what EVERYBODY wanted but HH didnt deliver!

Cant help

The front brakes on the R15 and Apache are much better. Zma's front brakes are mushy at best.

Great for up to 100kms. Anything beyond that and the seat is just too soft...I believe even Bike India had the same comments about the seat. It is too narrow and too soft.
