2014 ZMR 0-100 in 11.26 seconds

The top speed has increased to more than 130 km/hr and 0 to 60 km/hr timing is 4.42 seconds while 0-100 km/hr takes 11.26 seconds which is faster by 1.7 seconds than the older version we had in our long term garage. All numbers are VBOX verified with a 70 kg rider on board. First gear maxes out at 37 km/hr, second at 67 km/hr, third at 91 km/hr, fourth 114 km/hr and fifth takes it all the way to 135 km/hr. The Karizma ZMR starts feeling very sluggish post 110 km/hr and ducking down makes a huge difference in reaching the top speed.

This 2-valve engine is same in terms of refinement and the motor is almost butter smooth when kept under 5000 RPM. There are vibrations from the engine in the mid and top-end of the rev range which is slightly more than before and are felt on the handlebars and footpegs. The gearbox is slick (but with time finding neutral becomes a task as we have seen with every Karizma till date) and has short throws which also supports clutch-less up-shifts, making them very easy to execute. City ride-ability is good but you should be in third or fourth gear and not stay in fifth like other 2-valve rivals because this cog is way too tall which as you can imagine helps on the highway. 100 km/hr in fifth gear results in 6000 RPM on the tachometer while redline comes in at an early 8500 RPM. 28.5 km/l in the city and 33.5 km/l on the highway despite enthusiastic riding were the fuel economy numbers we got on the new ZMR. These numbers are slightly less than the old ZMR. Overall, refinement and economy take a very minute beating but performance numbers are much better but only in the place were it has always excelled, low and mid-end. The bike still lacks a punch on the top-end but the improved performance makes it a very quick machine. To put it in perspective, the new ZMR will easily beat the Yamaha R15 in outright acceleration while beating the Pulsar 220 by the slightest of margins.

Bakwaas!!! HMC never do wrong claims... secondly, If u wanna see an example how these reviews demean brand Karizma-
check the comparison between ZMR v1 and Fazer!!!!!!!!.... comparing two machines which are class apart... the verdict is in favor of ZMR but the comparison itself is bogus..
