Reason - I am not able to justify myself for shelling out the extra bucks for ZMR. I went through many reviews and quite a few number of people were of the opinion that there is no significant increase in power, the bike is a bit bulbous from the front (no offense to ZMR owners), there is only a slight increase in mileage even though PGMFi is present.
I would like to know from owners of ZMR whether it deserves the price tag (1.04 Lac on road @B'lore) ? Which one should I go for?

as i own a zmr
i will surly want you to opt zmr

Go for it

& 1lac price tag is ok
according to me ....value for money

Hey! Welcome to xbhp.

Well, apart from the marginal increase in bhp, adding the pgmfi its still the good old karizma at heart..smooth and quick, a little quicker because of the fi.

Regd the price tag, well if you want a little more stylish bike(have the moolah) then go for the ZMR, if you want to minus a full digital console, a full fairing and the other goodies, the ZMA-R is your bike, still the classic.

Praising simply because it roughly tells you your riding habits, even on cars its always an approximate. But it doesnt come close to being accurate hence not reqd and since it throws up ridiculous values, its nonsense. A gear indicator would have looked much cooler.

With regards to the zmr, well I think it maybe a nonsense for you. ZMR for me has been a delight, a Karizma at heart

now where i said that zmr is nonsense to me??? dont make false predictions. i am a karizma owner too.

Hmmm... I have been hearing this thing for quite a while now..!! That ZMR is overpriced... I cant quite get the logic behind this thinkin.. Of all those magazine writers and general public..!!
But all you guys seem to think the other tourer in the country, Yamaha Fazer, is quite rightly priced.. 81k onroad.!! Its so funny..
The bike at best gives the same mileage as ZMR... Performancewise it cant even match any other 150 cc bikes... No rear disc ( dunno if i am wrong ), no FI, a console which is no match for the ZMR... and look at its pricing.. almost same as the ZMA-R.!! n it always seem to get rave reviews..!! Wow.!! Its so funny..
N about the ZMR bein overpriced, all the ppl seem to think ZMA is well worth the bucks.. then why cant the ZMR be treated lyk that..??
Add to the ZMA - Tubeless tyres, Full body cowl, Fully Digital Console, Sexy Handle Bars ( I think its the best in any indian bike ), massive appeal and road presense, iGRS Shocks.. Upgrading this much from the stock ZMA-R will cost nearly 20k.. so what if i add the PGM-Fi to it..??
Hope this answers all those ppl who think ZMR is overpriced..!!
The bike is so so Refined and has crisp throttle response and Fantastic ride comfort..!! I am absolutely happy with the money spent on my White Pearl..!!

[To ZMA owners:- The last comparison para with ZMA is meant to be no offense k..?? I knw ZMA is well worth the money... And most of the people think the same too... So i thought it would be better to compare the ZMR with ZMA, to get ma point across well.. ]
[ To All:- I'll upload my pics soon okay..??... I hav to select a few from the many i hav taken.. But all of them are mobile Pics..!! ]

+ the cost of 6 sensors monitoring and feeding inputs to the ECM, & the banking sensors

the addon cost is justifiable and worth it.

Went to the HH dealer day before yesterday to know the delivery status of my zmr, as they gave me a time frame of jan last week or feb 1st week for the delivery. But now they are saying that the company still didn't dispatch the lot

. And that it will take 8 days to reach the showroom after they are dispatched from Delhi. Can't understand what's causing so much delay to the company.

Did anyone enquire with HH about this issue?

One more thing, the guy at the showroom showed me the bookings register of the zmr. Some are wating from October too

. 20 bikes have been booked so they've ordered a lot of 30. Maximum bookings are for white (more than 50%), and then the black.

If anyone has some genuine knowledge about the cause of these delays, please please please let us know.

+1

20k extra from ZMA is well justified...and not to forget the technology of Fi with 12 port fuel injector...6 other sensors...ok as for no technical changes in engine...but when u ride bike...you will not feel bike should have more BHP...it amazingly fast..

Gautam: Simply resize them to 640x480, it should be more than enough.

Why dont you get in touch with the regional manager of sales, you have full right to complain. These nerds dont get on the path, they always have to be given the stick! You know what i mean..

Probably yes, peeling off colour must be issue with white ZMR and also must be with yellow. Because sr. manager of one of the dealer in pune had told me that company has asked them to stop bookings of white for few months, till the issue of the white colour is sorted out. and hence he rejected my booking. and hence I booked black, but at other dealer who was closer to my residence. and hence black and red are selling like hot cakes.

Thanks Manan for the feedback - Can you post some pics of where the color is coming off?

Neo - Does HH know about this issue? is this an issue with white and yellow only? Did you cancel the booking or the senior manager did it?

I am wondering if this is well known then why are people still going on with their white ZMR bookings?

Other owners - do you notice similar issues with your ZMR?

I was all set to go an book my ZMR this week, but now I am having second thoughts about it. Need advice.
