    between if you are going to test ride in chennai i would suggest om motors in poonamalle. it is located near highway and hence we can twist a lot.
    I will try I don't think I will have that much spare time as I will be travelling to Coimbatore and then to Pollachi and then back to Chennai and then to Thirunelvelli

      Clocked 50 while cornering a 90 degree turn... Was awesome experience, the bike gives me so much confidence while bending it.

      Ps: don't ask/shout about the knee pads, yet to buy those

      • [MENTION=8003]prateek[/MENTION] man my craving for the projecter beam is increasing by each passing night when I see the reflection(on other car bodies) of the two white dazzling angel lights and the odd yellowish head light. Will upgrade after the second servicing for sure

          just ride safe and in those kinda turns, you will never know what holds up.. either someone can come at you or there might be sand that can skid you.. just be careful.. I always do that when coming back from gym..

            Today I'm very sad, cancelled my zmr booking cause the red color wasn't available in mumbai and they will be inefficient to deliver on 27 they even don't know the red color available date, the dealer made calls till Gujrat and nashik but it is not available, also my dad is angry cause he was against the red color from start also had lot of negative approach against bike without knowing it, I had somehow convinced him once, but its now I guess over,

            Being a proud owner of zmr will only be an unfulfilled dream; I'm happy that you guys have one.

                Lolz! I asked not to shout, cleaver u chose to abuse

                Ya, that was not a blind turn, u could see what's ahead + was one way + IT sez zone, as smooth as a runway. I might not love myself that much but I love my bike. So, the only stunt I did so far was after such level of risk analysis. Having said that a dog or a cat might screw every inch of the plan

                  Bhai, ab toh 3ple maarna chhodo. Don't abuse the beauty by doing so. I feel sad that in my city people with R15s mostly ride triples. It feels like 3 of them contributed their little money to buy this big bike

                  I spare them cos of R15, If I see a ZMR I would stop them and give this lecture to them too.

                    Sad man. not just convincing, u actually need to do a war with ur parents to get a ZMR, I hope that's the case with everyone here. I liked the white since the times of old zmr, but the red one makes me jealous sometimes, I wish I could change colors like mobile covers

                        Can any one who bought karizma zmr share the details like for how much they bought , where they bought . which finance they choose .

                        I checked out hero showroom at malakpet and hero showroom at uppal genpact . malakpet is operated by m/s lakshmi motors and uppal is by phoenix motors .

                        m/s lakhmi quoted me a price of 119,985 rs . they are insisting on paying accessories cost( 3k ) which they say is handing cost .
                        phoenix is quoting me a price of 118,985 rs , they too are insisting on paying handling cost of (2.1 k)

                        If i go for finance hero is giving me finance at 11% per year and if i go for 24 months emi they are calculating it as 22% for 24 months .
                        hero finance , hdfc , l& t are quoting same interest rates that is 22% for 24 months .
                        But shri ram finance in quoting me an interest rate of 14% for 24 months , 12 % for 12 months and 13.5 % for 18 months .

                        Guys who have already bought or any body with experience in finance please help me out as this is my 1st bike in finance and i have no idea how finance works

                          I bought my bike from Phoenix Uppal at the same price(without finance cash payment) as u mentioned (actually, -1K cos I didn't get my permanent registration from those guys). I checked nearly 5 showrooms across HYD for white zmr, only two had it. Of all those, the Uppal guys had the best price. The somajiguda guys were the worst, they don't have any respect for the customer. They were charging 21 appx. I called the other showroom guys to compare the price putting my phone on speaker. I actually emulated IDEA's "No ullu banaing" advertisement, they said - "lena hai toh lo, warna, zmr toh kal subah bik jayegi (Buy If u want, zmr will get sold tomorrow morning)". The white zmr tempted me and I agreed to pay even though my dad was angry. I actually did all this stuff without knowing that they wanted to sell the test-drive piece to me). When I came to know about this, We just left the showroom without saying a word. On the other hand the guys at uppal were genuine (the guards and mechanics are ass-lickers.. don't bother to pay much). White wasn't availabe. Booked it by paying 5K and had to wait 2 days (actually 2 more days from my side due to my parents' belief in good/bad days )

                          about the accessories part - u can't avoid that, I tried to negotiate that with other showrooms too.. of no use!

                          one more thing - pls don't get ur bike serviced at phoenix uppal (very bad experience), on the other hand phoenix Madhapur (owned by same guy) does excellent job for atleast my passion.

                              Hi srikanth ,
                              If you remember i sent you a mail asking where you bought your zmr some time back . I have checked bikes at uppal and there were nearly 3 to 5 white zmr bikes . I thought of taking bike there but that finance guy with hero fincorp was a worst fellow , he did not even respond properly made me wait half an hour and spoke very rudely when i asked about finance details .

                              Even though shri ram finance guys behave like rowdy sheaters ( my friends told me this ) there finance guy spoke very politely and offered me good advice .

                              And malakpet people were worst of the lot when i went there for details and made me wait and instead of giving me details boys and girls in showroom were flirting and making jokes ,chatting and dint even bother to ask me any thing . I looked for some time and just took off from there they dint even care .
                              [MENTION=71538]jatints[/MENTION] , No accessories are provided it is only handling charge ( bring bike from factory to showroom charge) they call it accessories . It is complete rip off .

                                Oh! forgot to clarify that. Each of the showroom guys told the same thing -Accessories is just for mentioning, it's logistics, handling charges etc. u cannot avoid it. Although I wonder now, why I didn't bother to ask on Hero help line about this.
