    Even though the upcoming model has the same 223cc mill from Honda, it would be in a different state of tune, if EBR worked on it for more power. It would be a different engine now and we can't take it for granted that it would be as reliable as before. We need to wait and see. Because the block is from Honda, hopefully it would be reliable.

    Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

    Almost every bike lasts 5 years, my Pulsar200 DTSi's engine is still good, doesn't make Bajaj more reliable. :P
    From what I have read, Unicorn's engine ages slightly better than Hunk's or Xtreme's. This is basically what I have read, no personal experience here, but personal experience of others. I hope someone else can shed some light on that question(Will Hero have to stop production of models that use Honda's tech after the deadline and what is the deadline, dec 2013?). Anyways, I have to live with my baby blade for a long time now, and I will, I do love it. But yeah, if this Karizma turns out to be as competent as Cbr, it will pinch a bit. Also, Cbr is DOHC, that should prolong the engine's life. That is what others say, including some mechanical engineers I know, no personal technical knowledge though. :P
    Although, I hope Karizma does well, it'll mean more competition and less complacency, better products for us.

Can they introduce a model which uses Honda tech and keep it in production after the deadline? What's the deadline, December 2013?
    I dont find any problem in my bros hunk and its still running in perfect condition.. bike is 5yrs + old Nd still running without any issuez (touchwood).. all i can say is they are as reliable as honda

    Well i am not sure about the later part of your questiin

But Cbr150r looks infinitely better and will most probably last longer than Karizma, courtesy of being a Honda. Let's wait and watch.
    You are forgetting.. karizma engine is a honda engine.. so the life is as good as cbr150..

    For some reason i feel the R15 looks like a bug from the side..

    But it will definitely look much more bigger and muscular than r15...

    http://www.motoroids.com/news/new-he...90rs/#comments I came across this and felt that they have made it clear to all those who say that the ZMR is copied from other bikes likes Ducati, Bajaj, R15, etc., hope you guys also are satisfied with them. . .

    Cheers!!!

    IMO I think hero stayed with the dual shocks as, from the looks of it they haven't done any changes to the chassis and swingarm hence its just easier to plonk in the existing setup, plus why bother to change something that's already doing a great job ... yes the monshocks would give a killer look but clearly aesthetic appeal is not one of hero's priorities... well anyways all this is just my opinion

    ^^ You guys are completely going OT. You can discuss about the maintenance in the respective ownership threads.

    Is there any possible way to upgrade the current zmr to give the same output power?? Am sure its going to be possible..

    brother let the product come in my hand then i can only suggest what you can do to upgrade the power to these outputs. i have a ZMA in which i use complete synthetic oil 15w50 and iridium spark plugs, hid light kit, in it with chain lube and cleaner for drive chain. and i am very happy with the performance of my bike. may you can try some of these at the moment. will let you know if i get more details.....

Thanks to gagan the new picture looks good. Goes to show what a donkey with camera can do.Will wait to see what it will look on actual. Man i am pissed, as finally after lot of storming in mind i have decided not to upgrade to ZMR from my extreme as my extreme is like new and runs better than new, but this launch again let me brain storming in mind.
    thanks brother for appreciating the pics i had uploaded i had at first place jumped in to the forum to clear doubts of other friends as just from 1 picture clicked by someone every one was so negative about the bike but the reason i had seen it in flesh instigated me to try and change the opinion. and let the brain storming keep on going you would definitely like to see the bike first and them decide to stick with extreme or upgrade. what ever you do best of luck........
