The ZMR is not reallt an upgrade at all!I would say the ZMA R id better tha the ZMR!And it is certainly not a very good idea to sell your ZMA for a ZMR.

If your actually thinking about an upgrade in its actual sense, go for the CBR non-ABS!If it just a new bike that you want, wait a while and get the 2011 R15 which seems to be a solid package!

But whatever your decision maybe, wait for the 2011 R15 to come out!Then only finalize upon something!Thats the safe and smart option!

PGMFi is a huge upgrade in terms of technology and there are other Honda assorted tech on it as well...however since there is no power/torque up, it is entirely upto individual to take a call. If I had 30-40K done ZMA-R, then I would go for
1. ZMR if funds are limited.
2. CBR250 if funds are not a problem.

+1 Agree.

For some very strange reason, I prefer the ZMA-R over the ZMR. For starters, there is nothing that can beat the sheer simplicity of the ZMA-R engine. It's a no frills bike which might keep on selling for another decade.

Precisely my point.I would also prefer the ZMA-R over the ZMR. If I am to upgrade, I would never get a ZMR in any case!

ZMA-R has an awesome engine & ZMR took it one step ahead..

ZMR is good bike as a First Purchase but for a person like me Or Thread Starter who is already riding a 2006 model ZMA without any problems.....The next upgrade is Obviously CBR 250 R (Pure performance)

I have been riding a ZMR from past 1 year and i would say it's the same as ZMA or ZMA-R

You should go for CBR250 anyday if you are going for an upgrade.!!!!
