    even i noticed all these changes and i feel may be they are just testing these bikes with different set of tires, handle bars, drum and disk brakes so that they can decide if there is any possibility of launching it with different features for different customers....

      250cc - 27.5 hp @8k RPM, maybe ~24 Nm torque @ 7k RPM, 100 mm front tire, 120 mm rear tire, 155 kg kerb weight (I see some redesign of plastic), 55w halogen HL.
      Hmmm, thats a good recipe too

        I am 90% sure it is the same old 223cc karizma ZMR with some tweaks in design and performance department...

          Even with the camouflage the bike looks highly disproportionate because of the unnecessary raised rear section. Karizma and ZMR is currently the aam junta sportbike who also looks in to the practicality aspect and it seems the practicality quotient goes out of the window with these two bikes

          and later on in 2014 new bikes....

          BTW..the second bike without a rear have a different and new pattern on rear tyre...
          You seems to be bang on and speak like a company executive? So one is Karizma and other is ZMR. Sounds logical

            To be frank, the rear section seems to be a bit out of place. I don't think this is going to be over 250cc(if at all a 250).

              I don't think they will give full fairing to both karizma and karizma zmr....

                  Seeing the same zmr shock absorber its most likely to have the same 223cc engine. Hero is trying to get into the fully faired segment with new body.

                    You'd also notice that the exhaust on the bikes are different. The design of the exhaust on the left bike resembles the ZMA's pattern (shiny and flat face with bolt/screw patterns) while the one on the right sports the exhaust from the ZMR (matte and slightly bent pipe).

                    Looking at the exhausts, that's what I am beginning to feel too! A 'sportier' ZMR and a redesigned ZMA...

                      I think monoshock absent in both bikes, check the below images I can see something red in both.

                          Can't tell that for sure as the second bike has a HELMET kept on top of the tank and in front of the handlebar. So its not conclusive.
