true that buddy!hero guys are offering that mud guard as an additional accessory rather that offering it with the bike!

[MENTION=64238]Prateekjayant[/MENTION] Awesome review buddy. Bike has got killer looks. I was certain of that from day one itself. Pata nahi logo ne kaise-kaise afwaah failaa diye about the front-end.

Now, only if I can get the fairing installed on my ZMR somehow !!

[MENTION=67440]kmk0311[/MENTION] Regarding the mirrored visor, you get clear view if viewed from the top part of the visor! Otherwise, if its still uncomfortable for you, then you can change to clear ones.

thanks brother!the bike is just awesome and i am gtting 10-15 positive feedbacks daily from on goers and it just feels like the bike itself is a celebrity like today two random guys just started taking pictures of it and i was really happy to see that kind of response,and honestly i too was a bit skeptical for the looks but as soon as i saw it in person ,i was just mesmerized!!
and i think it may be possible to install the new fairing on the older as the frame is the same ,just some extra fasteners would be required,might be good fun to try though!

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Yaar, what's the problem with hero guys..:banghead: jabardasti har new purchase ke sath phele yeh helmet sell out karte hai.

Infact tht helmet not even worth fir 200rs. Now they start selling this bike mud guard as a extra access.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

[MENTION=64238]Prateekjayant[/MENTION]- A very nice and good review straight from the heart. Job well done. I especially like reviews like this that comes from owners rather than some channel or magazines because the owner gets to spend more time with bikes and he knows his bike more than anybody else.

And yes Hero quality is second to none and they make the best build quality. An you will be surprised to know that if time would had then you would not be but i would have been the first owner of the ZMR. The day after my brothers marriage when i returned to change the rings of piston, i had gone to check out the new ZMR. Bike looked smashing on person than on photos. So was quite tempted and more so after test riding it. Talked about exchanging my Extreme and they immediately agreed and sent a person to check out my extreme. But luck was that i hadn't taken the extreme but the Joy. So i politely refused and said that i will look into it. Bike looks so superbikish. Then they noted my details and when they came to know i was a officer in SBI they tried to agree me to get the new ZMR as they know that they have got a sure shot customer.

But i am reluctant to sell the extreme as it is running beautifully, much better than new bikes. But yours review is tempting me to go the the new ZMR. Moreover when i am looking at the new ZMR, on road i feel like immediately going for it. Lets see how much time my mind controls over heart.

thanks for the kind words buddy and surely i understand your dilemma and you would find it interesting that initially i wasn't interested in the karizma at all and i was in love with the cbz xtreme and was certain to buy that one ,but the luck was not on my side and they went on and changed the looks of that one too! i was a big fan of the cbz xtreme aesthetics, i mean the bike can beat pulsar 150 or180 with just its looks and the robust body and mascular looks were just amazing, i fell in love with it the day i saw it ,but sadly the new model doesn't compare with the older one and simply looks like splendor so i went ahead and bought this zmr and iam really glad that i did that!

For the first 1000 kms take the bike slow.after that you can start to explore the bike.. Upshift at 4-4.5k l, With occasional bursts , not sudden but slow and steady.. Don't maintain a constant speed for more than two mins. Brake and downshift and accelerate again. You need to let the bike get used to the rpm range.. I'm sure you know the run in procedure very well

still.. do change the oil at this moment. Along with the filter. You'd be surprised to see a lot of engine deposits btw
