Well here is what I would look forward to before buying a bike, which I believe is more or less the same for someone else, though preferences may vary from person to person
Looks
Here are some stats
Overall length 2110 mm
Overall width 805 mm
Overall height 1175 mm
Engine
The engine is the same reliable CB series from Karizma R. Added features are a disc type starter motor (that gives enhanced starting capabilities), oil cooler (for better cooling required due to front cowl), elimination of kick starter assembly and above all Programmed Fuel Injection. The engine delivers 17.60 bhp at 7000 rpm, which is lesser than what some other ingenious products from competition have to offer. But that is not the limiter for me considering the reliability factor. HH produces engines that are reliable, splendor, passion, cd dawn , cd deluxe, CBZ, Karizma all vouch for it. So I know that maybe I am missing out something on power here but the bike will be the same after years of riding. And anyways 17.6 bhp is more than enough to give you that thrust on full throttle and low gear. And the engine does a fairly decent job of providing that adrenalin rush.
Top Speed and acceleration.
Maneuvering and Handling.
Average and Price
Average is one thing that every Indian will always ask even before buying a Bentley or rolls. Frankly speaking I have never measured the average, but I know it is disappointing. Even with the PGMFI I have to get my tank refilled every now and then and from what I feel my bike is not giving me an average above 30 at any cost. Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that I almost always use NH-8 and cant stop myself from going 100+ when I am there. Some of my friends use SPEED instead of regular fuel and their ZMRs are giving good average. I am thinking of switching over too.
