styling looks inspired from the VTR series from Honda and it doesn't look like a cheap mod but looks clean, my only request to HH is that please add a few sensible horses to this beast so that it justifies the long Delay it took to finally come.
My dream specs for this would be:

250-300cc

30-32 bhp(i know i am asking too much)

Inverted shocks

Petal discs

25Nm torque

Liquid cooling

Sensible price tag of 80-90k(i know it's a bit un realistic but cmon HH)

and finally within a few weeks if we are lucky we will see hrithik in an awesome ad for zma and at last the usual DHAK DHAK GO!!!

More is never enough! Dream on brother. It will cost you nothing.

I think they are still at the same place. only the ride position might be little sporty coz of clipons.

And Read this on orkut ZMA community, Power might be no less than 20Bhp

and might be 250cc.

The foot peg position is almost same. It is clearly seen in the riding position of the rider in the spy pic. The other pics too indicate the same.

Most probably not. Retaining the skinny tyres most probably mean a not-more-than 20 ps power. Even the front shocks are same.

Please observe a pic of P220 and RTR's handle bars. Compare with Zma and see the difference yourselves.

Lets see if they know about the new ZMR.

Clipons, also called as Three Piece handle. I hope you got Idea from the word handle. RTR, R15, P220, New P180 come with Clipon handles.

i dont mean to offend ravi da but even the skinniest moto cross tyres can bear a 250 cc abroad .., that means no detuned engine
tyre size got nothin to do with power

Agree with you. But, if you take competition and Indian market, people absolutely love a fat ass. This bike is clearly aimed at touring and bigger tyres would be a boon. I guess to keep the power up from the same old engine, they might have retained the 100 section tyres to get the performance edge. Just my guess.

They even need to compensate the extra weight the ZMR gains because of the full fairing, FI unit, Rear Disc. I hope it comes out with 20+ horses under it..

+1
but hope its not the same old engine
anyways stock tyres are crap mostly except the R15
they also are like bald in slushy conditions or muddy watery conditions

yeah never thought to think on this .... i will do some study on it now

thanks

guys what you think ???
the fairing will affect cornering ??
due to weight a bit sideways ....

this is unnecessary made so big
look at the cbr 150 rr
such compact and makes the weight distribution probably central
