when bajaj had the top model as fi,
hh was still with carb.

now bajaj's top model sports a carb
and hh comes up with fi.

Crazy ppl..Now a customer wont know to go for
which FI
FI-fastest indian
or FI-fuel injection

That side fairing looks like its borrowed from a BATMAN mOvie

That was the 1st thing my female colleague told me when she saw this pic.

Too many geometry shapes in the fairing.

"BATMAN ZMR"

same thin forks, same thin tyres, same shocks, plus a bulky fairing. might be a good tourer. but the look might be a turn-off for many. lets wait for some clear pics and specs to get a better idea.

not really actually . Zma has a large fan base with the full fairing and the other changes and now its fully faired . all Posers who went for R15 as it looked like sport bike will go for this now . Just look at Fz /S/Fazer , performance doesnt matter , looks do .

shocks are gas ones now

+1 it exactly seriously looks like an aftermarket job and a bad one.

I would trust HH that they have done a very good job here with the Karizma.

- Clip on handle bars look really good and it seems like they have been perfectly positioned to make it a really comfortable riding position.

- PGM-FI...its in there now, no doubt about that anymore. Gonna again make it a noticeably better allround performer than the previous ZMA and might be best in its class. And those reports about the current ZMA coughing at high altitudes will be gone forever!

- The tail light section gives an impression that it might be one of the best in the business (looks and functionality) 'cause it looks inspired by the CBZ Xtreme's (which is again one of the best in business).

- Looking closely after enlarging the thumbnail image, I would say that fit and finish looks really good. I wouldn't bet against HH when it comes to this! The grey finish of the clip on handle bars looks best! And frankly, I am sure HH wouldn't make the fairing look like a modded job at all

I'll trust them again on this.

- The golden finish of the engine looks fantastic and is on par with sportbikes especially the Fireblade (it has a similar finishing).

All in all, I am impatiently looking forward to this motorcycle. The most impressive part is the PGM-FI bit. And I hope the wheels are 17 inches, and I really don't mind if they still come with a 100 section rear tyre.

GO HH, bring it on

True, I would like to comment on the looks of the bikes only after looking it in flesh rather commenting on the pics.

THere appears to be changes in the console also, NO kick Start, Shox are little more tilted than the original. I hope it comes with 18" tubless tires.

**santoosh** · 07-09-2009, 01:21 AM

Im sure its not an LC.
Its a naturally aspirated engine.

I keep my fingers crossed. Can't be sure of the moolah thing after they installed FI in it (read: Stunner Fi). Hope they price it sensibly, otherwise I see P220 eating zma's sales.

yeah that went outta my mind

hope the pricing in sensible
generally the FI adds Rs 15k to the price and this fairing 10 k ( acc to honda

)

then nearly over 1 lakh i guess

if that other 180cc zma is true
then they might not worry about this one

it seems like its a direct attack on the R15 with this one
and the rtr 180 and Fz thru the 180 cc bike

The price as it seems will most probably be over 1L mark.

180 Zma.... ????????

I think the same, but then the fairing is fully covered...isn't it? If it's LC'd then it's totally different bike, can it be ?

I dont think it will be a 180 cc, because it will be like 'bigger bike, smaller engine'. But I'll be happy to be wrong
