test drive it first to check whether you can handle its weight easily or not, though with in few days you won't find it heavy at all,it doesn't feel that heavy as it looks..

[Wow this is really a quick reply. Actually I was pressing the f5 button hard to see if I get a response soon.. (Started a post in what a bike section but was not approve until now)..]

Thanks for the replies... ZMA is available here with an additional 5k price... so just thought of getting a ZMR, but bcoz of the weight I had a confusion in my mind. The biggest problem is I inquired in couple of showrooms and they are not ready to give the bike for a test ride. Even I thought of going for a test ride and then make a decision.

But usually in a test ride we may not feel the difference of the weight as we ride on a normal road and may be for few minutes. I think that when riding in heavy traffic or bad roads I might face an issue?! not sure thou!!!

The other points in my mind are:

I'm just a novice bike rider. I doesn't even know what should be the tyre pressure So is it ok to go for a ZMR?

Probably I might use the bike for 2-3 years!!! So will be able to sell it off easily???

Looking to take a decision soon and take the bike as early as 5-10 days.

Once again thanks for all those who directly and indirectly are helping me

@SamratReddy: I own a zmr for the past 10 months and I live in Hyderabad. I've been riding mostly in city and never really felt it was heavy, although sometimes it feels quite bulky in extreme traffic conditions, but hey, even a cycle rider wishes to fly in heavy traffic !

right...its so light while riding..you will not feel heavy as it weight...

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Probably I'll head on to a showroom today for a test drive....

Thanks ... will surely upload a few pics on this thread soon ....

Finally took the test ride of ZMR.. The bike is damn good I have to say.. But..

I had problems taking the bike from the parking.. its really heavy..
The other thing is that I had problems with changing the gears and they were not very smooth..I had to pull the up very hard and sometimes twice.... is it bcoz I was used to the old passion style style gears or is the bike having any issue as it is used by different people?

there isn't any problem with its gears while shifting, only difficult thing in ZMR's gears is finding neutral while the bike is ON..that certainly is not easy..

gears are pretty smooth, you may have felt that coz you rode a TD vehicle/.

Yellow ZMR!!

After listening to many people and the test ride... I decided to go for ZMR.. I'm looking to get a yellow color.. Contacted many showrooms and yellow is readily available.. and the price is around 1.11L

BTW people from hyderabad.. can u tell me which is the best showroom to get the bike... I'm mainly looking for reliable service...

BTW I had sometime back seen a post about the thinks that need to be checked before getting the bike.. searched for it many times but couldn't find it out.. could anyone please pass me the link..

thanks in adv..

i guess it would be the 1st long distance ride on zmr from this thread

Hey thanks manan, it is still 30% tentative bro, hope everything will be sort out by april and i can complete the ride

i guess there is a guy sachin nair in this thread who went to mount abu on his black zmr. thats the 1st long ride.

Its very easy to find the neutral once you find the technique. It was just a single click for me every time.

Hey Dhiraj where are you going and whats the plan....

Yes Mzee I have been to Mount Abu. I did 750 kms in a day on my ZMR while coming back from Mt.Abu.
I have also been to South Goa on my ZMR which 696 kms covered in one day.
