    • All these heating and FI Issues are crap..!!
      Guys i just completed my long term and short term Mileage Tests..!!

      During the Running in period, I did the first 1000 kms at 60kph and the next 1000 kms at 70-80 kph..!! And the i fuelled the bike for 2050 Rs. and Ran 2168 kms Exact..!! Which equates to 50.7 kmpl..!!

      Then yesterday i did the 1 litre mileage test..!! Emptied the fuel tank, filled in 1 ltre fuel.. then ran... Mixed city and highway ride.. Speed varied from 70 - 85 kph... and i revved a bit hard in between.. and the mileage i got was an impressive 46.2 kmpl..!

      Now the vehicle will be due for second service this week.!!
      Highly Impressed with the Bike So Far..!!
      The Blue flags are flying high....sigpic....Proud to be a Trueblue..!!

        When i purchase bike...i knew that its HH...Honda Fi...Reliable engine...quality superb...but what really surprise me is the average...i was expecting some where around 40 ...and i am getting 46...which really a very good mileage from an 225 cc bike...and i think its due to Fi...

            Getting panels for your desired colour might also be a waiting stuff though not as much long you have waited for the entire bike. But still I feel, check up with the dealer. In metro it might be available in 3-4 weeks. and woould cost you 10-20K for the entire pack. Manan might put some light into it.

                    dude ....i saw five zmr today at workshop 4 black & 1 red
                    according to me u should go for red one
                    red looks nice...if u want i will take pics of it tomorrow of both bikes ...red & black...then u can decide

                    if u want to change panels....i think it would cost you around 10k but u will have to paint the tank ...


                    if u want parts it will take 15days
                    go for red one

                          Is this confirmed? Someone on this link said that he had confirmed it with a showroom in Delhi.

                          What's cooking??

                          Something is really fishy, as HH, with such a huge(possibly the biggest in India) production of motorcycles, is just munching MONTHS.. for delivering this particular model.

                          Actually its not a new ZMR instead its a new 250CC bike from HH challenging Ninja as stated in Business Standard... And this one will be atleast 50% costlier than ZMR So there is no need for you guys to worry...

                          I have a small request for ZMR owners... Can anyone post ZMR pics from various angles with half fairing i.e only the engine cowl removed... Pleeeeeeeeease

                              i think this info may be correct but they will take 1 or 1.5 years to launch and plus u have to wait for 3 to 6 months like zmr

                              • @Manan : If you have side Pic please post... If not when you take your bike tomo to fix your foundation mounting and all please do take few pics with engine cowl removed buddy...

                                I guess by the time ZMR comes to Tier 2 cities like Bellary(waiting for my turn to book)... A new 250CC bike too would have been launched

                                Personally I don't like the fairing(just by a little) as it makes front look too huge... I want to remove the fairing So before booking, wanted to see how good it will look with engine cowl removed(later after owing one and regreating then there wont be any use)
