1. Front braking stablity has improved
2.Installation was easy
3.looks good

please dont expect too much from ABS device it is not full proof that you will not slip or fall cause of not driving your bike properly however this device helps eliminate wheel locking issues while hard emergency braking

1250

Hi All!

I am planning to sell my 2 year old RTR 160 for a ZMA yellow :-) I know that the new bike is releasing in few months but might not be interested coz of the price tag as it might be over 1 lacs. I took a test ride today at Prakash Motors Lalbagh road Blore. They promised me to deliver the bike in a day's time as they had 4 yellow bikes in stock. The price is 84790. Guys shud i go ahead with this? P220 and RTR 180 also fit the budget. P220 no way as I don't like Pulsar. My first bike Apache 150, 2nd RTR 160 so dont wanna buy the 180 cc. Guys what do u say?? Please help me out..

got ripped off man but if i had to order from KRP

i had to pay shipping,fitting also had to wait till the product reached Mumbai and if the device did not work then again the reverse process would have been a pain

The ABS made by saferide is finished mush better than the KRP. Secondly, it is made in India by a decent engineering company. So, I would suggest the Saferide ABS any day over the cheap Chinese imports from KRP.

Cheers,

Jay

Please help me out..

both ZMa and a 180 are good bikes .. but both belong to different class
If are a small person and want a small bike with a louder exhaust and want to drive in streets and cities a 180 will be a good option . It is a very good track tool. SO if you are a person who spents more time on racing tracks than touring whenever you get time then A180 will be a good track tool.It can offer a good fight to R15.

If you are planning for long tours and like the "Big bike feel" then go for ZMa. If you like a smooooth bike that gives you an overall performance then go for Zma. Actually it is up to you . Each person has his own tastes.
Any day i will go for ZMa . It is not fast as P 220 but it is more smooth and more comfortable and makes lees vibrations . Even in 130(speedo reading) the bike is roack steady . For long tours it performe butter smooth and is mouch more comfortable than A 180 .Seating posiiton is better than p 220 for long tours It is really a mile muncher . Simply awsome ..

So first of all ask yourself what type fo bike you need and decide accordingly ..

All the best

Thanks a lot Jithu. I have made up my mind. Karizma it is!! I dont want my third bike also to be an Apache even though that was my first LOVE.

And Guys from B'lore please let me know if there are any issues with Prakash Motors Lalbagh road? Shall I buy from them?

Go to your neighbourhood castrol bike point, any 2Ws spareparts stores, take a ride to outer ring road b/w Marathahalli and KR Puram you have Castrol Bike Zone (you'll get there for sure).

**satanicsaint** · 09-06-2009, 09:32 PM

Outer ring road it is , I will head there. Thanks for the quick reply.

ROUTE : Old airport area - HAL main gate straight - marathahalli junction- take left towards KR Puram - go about 6 kms - keep an eye on right side of the road -- you'll find CBZ----take next U turn and enter service road on which CBZ is located !!!
Before undertaking this, check out at local mechanic shop/spareparts shop !!

Questions for owners

Hey guys, do help me sort out a few doubts about getting a new ZMA...

Is there a dearth of spare parts in the market? Would it be safe to buy the bike knowing that??
What is the RPM count when the bike is cruising at 100-110 kmph in the fifth gear?

Sunil
