no doubt about that brother, but just one question to you though "does using another bike disqualify me from evaluating the bad points of a bike?" Jus think bout it

I know its a good bike but it ain't perfect or is it? Or atleast i don't think so.

All i meant was he's bound to get a biased view here, u only tell me isn't it quite obvious by the replies to his query?

Good stuff. Guys, for those who don't feel it is worth it, there are options available in the market.

A lot of people want the best jling blang for their money. A lot more want peace of mind even at extra money.

Yes, I feel the ZMR is not worth it. But would buy a ZMA R with FI + tubeless tyres for the same price as the ZMR.

The ZMR is new, and how good it is, is best told by a owner, and not who is using any other bike.

My Dream Karizma:

Current Karizma with the following features:

Fuel Injected 223cc engine with a power around 18.5-19 bhp, that goes 0-60 in 4 sec and 0-100 in around 12.5 to 13 seconds. Current top speed of 126 is enough.
Gas Reservoir shocks.
Analog Console
Round Headlamp.
Straight handle bars (FZ type)
Better panel mounts design. Wires should be consealed.
Twin horns.
55/60w headlight.
Weight should not cross 150 kgs.

Essentially, the ZMR without the full fairing. Or no fairing at all, not even the quarter fairing

The current price is very much fine.

Nice bike there. Have made changes (in red), the way i would like it

You are most welcome to put forth the negatives. I am not stopping you to do so.

There is no perfect bike as such. It all depends on one's requirements.

Regarding the biased reviews, overall ZMR is a good bike, and that is what the owners are telling. The person came to ZMR thread specifically because he wants to know how good is ZMR. Would he get a correct answer, suppose, if he goes to a P220 thread and ask how good it is?

If you have anything to say about the ZMR, that you do not like or feel negatives, you are very much welcome to putforth. Nobody will stop you.

Sorry for OT and replying to the same query which has already been answered by others. Though it carries an interesting connotation.

Its a direct attack to human sensibility and vanity. Which BTW, human satisfaction can be genuinely derived by means of both. It can also cause regret.

Lets see one example. There will be some who will simply beam at being asked the price. Being reminded that he's riding no cheap stuff unlike..ahem others. This is our vanity. Though to think such people as victim of vanity is vanity itself as we all are subjected to it in one way or the other. Because we are self concious being or have in other words .. ego.

Hey all
i just did an small tour

mumbai - pune - mumbai [approx 350km]

i have few questions

while riding uphill their was a knocking sound in engine

....is it normal? [but Zmr can easily go up hill

]
i used 3 petrol pumps on the way HP, BP , SHELL ! Would it cause any problem ? [i was not able to find hp pump everywhere so i used other

]
while i was coming back to mumbai i was not able to see clearly anything through helmet visor

at night time [visor was foggy at night

] any solution for this ?

**Vishal_91** · 03-25-2010, 12:45 AM

After a long waiting of about 2.5 months finally i got my zmr(blue) 2day...its just awesome....loved it....

**Satellite.kid** · 03-25-2010, 12:49 AM

wow...Congratulations Vishal

....i think u've bought a perfect allrounder!! hehehe

@manan: how's the vision during the day through helmet?? Is it foggy at all? Does the light effect spread on your visor?? If yes, the visor has lost its visibility, time to change instantly!! don't take risk riding with such a visor!

And ya, do let us know how did the zmr performed in your short trip

Cheers!

Hey manan, you could have informed me earlier, we would have met. by the way knocking is comman, you need to drive at higher rpm uphill and if you loose that ratio, it starts knocking, It's comman across all bikes, a little more in ZMR. Not to worry. And yes vibration is bit worry in ZMR, and is only because the full fairing is assembled in pieces to avoid huge cost in replacing the entire in case of small damages ( low miantainence in long term ).
About the petrol, any daam petrol pump is ok, if he is not providing adulterated petrol.
