    Yup, I agree. This might be the case, but I still dont understand, why would you replace a model(ZMR), that is picking up sales.... And modding it, would increase the cost of the already expensive bike. Any ways, according to me, two variants of ZMA would be really welcomed. One with no rear disk and tubed tires, half fairing, costing same as ZMA. Other with both disk, tubeless tires, Full fairing, costing 5-6 K more than ZMA. All I am interested in, is a tradion breaking design from Hero, which would affect its future bigger bikes.
    I am sure that ZMA and ZMR will be upgraded in styling...technical spec., engine will be same...

    There will be no new bike....till feb 2014...

        Initially whrn the pics were revealed it was considered or rather assumed to be a 250cc bike.. only after getting the second set f pics it appeared to be the facelifted karizma and zmr under test.. again. We dont know what is under the covers of HMC.. we have to wait and see.. time can only tell.. lets wait for more imfo before commenting :-)

          you might say, A person would rather go for Duke 390 by shedding out some more money.. but not everyone has that sort of money.. Atleast I don't and many like me are there and they would settle down with what is best under their budget...

          aah.. there is P375 which is going to be less than the D390.. but don't forget.. Bajaj isn't everyone's favourite and I kinda have a feeling that the bike is going to be heavy and I am not (in My Opinion) going to shed out 1.5L on Bajaj... Many across India think the same way I do..

          what I am trying to say is.. lets not compare a 2L 390cc bike with a 1.5L 250cc bike.. People still prefer to Honda CBR250 over the D390..
          people including me used to love HERO HONDA because of the honda engines,so only after 2014 we can get a clear picture(remember TVS fiero)..

          btw hero cant use the current ZMA\ZMR engine beyond 2014 so why would they bring a new bike just for a matter of one year, dosnt make sense to me or it may be their own new engine

            Guys I have a silly doubt, hero doesn't get engines from honda, they just get the design from honda and manufacture them at their own plant. So if they make just few changes to internals will it still be considered as a honda engine or can hero register them as newly developed engine and continue using them?

                It seems that Hero is in no mood to sit idle and let Honda be the Number 1.. it feels good that Hero is getting success overseas also!

                  Hero is going to launch more than 12 products in 2014.. I am wondering what the new products are going to be.. one for sure is a 250cc segment..

                    You can also expect a 250cc cruiser and another one in Impulse line.

                          We wont complain, if they upgrade to a new gen engine, with better performance. Just hoping, it would be as reliable as the current ones.

                            They did the RnD pretty fast, I guess its an overbore on the existing 223cc.

                              Pretty fast? I wouldn't say so bro. They took their time. Hell lot of time. Who knows since when they started their research?

                                It may also be possible that the upcoming Full fairing bike may carry 250cc Engine from CBR250R
