What are your views regarding the performance of the bike? Is the increased power and torque noticeable?

Also the fuel tank looks a little smaller than our bikes. Is that so? or is it just me??

The performance is noticeable.. but i feel the refinement after 5000 RPM is no more.. the engine was harsh.. maybe because the engine is new and i was the first person to ride that bike.. however.. mid range performance is way better than the old zmrs.. no doubt in that..

Tank is the same size and same as that comes with our ZMRs.. it looks small cos of the fairing mounted a little away from the tank..

Forgot to add.. finding neutral was tough. Probably because it is a new bike and i remember how i used to face that with my Zmr when i got her out of the showroom.. but the vibes have definitely reduced.. specially on the side mirrors.. and there are no DLRs.. they are the parking lights...

I had a test ride of the new ZMR..

Few pointers from my side..

The bike was smoother compared to the old ZMRs.
The engine roared after 5000 RPM
Mid Range felt better than old ZMR
Vibes have been reduced. though there are vibes near the speedo console ( I am guessing something inside the console is at fault)
Vibes at the foot rest of rider is less than the old ZMRs
Initial undoubtedly better than the old models.
Sporty riding posture (not proportionate to the length and looks of the bike) ((Some people might like it & some might not, in my case my wrist started paining as I am not used to riding in such riding posture)
the chain guard looks sweet.. the rear tire hugger was missing and it looked better without it..
The rear tire is 120 profile and I am hoping we will get this in the market soon and it looked sweet..
Bikes weighs less than the Old ZMRs.
less bulky comparatively..
Bike from rear looks fantastic
The side mirrors don't vibrate at high speeds.. The vehicles coming behind are clearly visible unlike my ZMR.

Cons:
The length of the bike seems to have increased because of the headlight assembly.
The smoothness of the engine after 5K RPM seems to be lost.
The looks are not that great (subjective)
the split seat isn't seated properly.. there was gap between the seat and the rear cowl.
Sitting posture isn't touring friendly due to sporty posture (compared to old models)


I can't comment on the bike any other aspect as I only got a chance to ride 3-4 kms.. and I am not too much technical

For some reason, I loved to ride my Black Pearl after riding the new ZMR.. though my bike is bulky, huge and has vibes, the feel was completely different

Exactly.. the harshness is due to the bike being brand new. Running in not done yet na..

Btw could you please explain the headlight assembly? The ones on the sides are the pilot lamps, and the headlights above and below are for high beam and low beam? something like that?

@kmk0311 Bro torque/power was definitely better and the bike pulled really well even with pillion.(I weigh 80kg /Pillion also quite healthy)

And regarding the tank its of same size and capacity, its just that this ZMR is slimmer than our ZMR. So the tank appears to be smaller

I actually didnt have time to check the switches and electrical parts.. but the ones on the side are indicators.. the small LED strip is the pilot lights which mistook as DLRs..

Older ZMR had Busa inspired graphics. The new one has a similar looking headlight outline.

@rreneav1987, are the handlebar stems shorter in height lending it a sporty stance?

Not Busa inspired I hate it when people say stuff like ZMR is a copy cat bike.. its just a younger sibling of CBR 600F(old version)
anyways.. are the new ZMRs are having the same bore and stroke as the old ones??

Hey Bro
Ru sure that the rest tire s 120 profile
I heard it's 110 MRF
Also the front tire is still the same

Yes, the rear tire is 120 profile and not 110..

That's a positive
Wat about the front tire????
