I would be shocked to see any zma owners upgrading to zmr .
For everyone else minus the speed junkies , if they can digest the design it would be a good buy.

Now if only we could add in a crash guard somehow....

HH has hugely disappointed many of its loyalist who were rock-sure of its products over the years but this ZMR design & powertrain info is simply slow-death of a legend called KARIZMA that was launched way back 7yrs ago. When this ZMA-R was launched, it was more good looking upgrade from earlier ZMA with dashing clocks & minimal decal designs but now ZMR is a very big letdown especially for ME.

I was pinning very high hopes & reserved my choice between new p220 & ZMR. Last night, when I opened & found that ZMR is launched all-of-a-sudden & my hope & spirit has gone waste waiting for this bike.

Not even 1 bhp increase in engine !!!!!

Again 100/90 size rear tyre... ATLEAST A 110 would have been acceptable.

Full fairing seems to be like some chourastey-waala mechanic has moulded this fairing in biscuit-baking oven

No step-seats...

HH engineers has cheated all ZMA fans, not even good styling even when they are designing bike with a full-fairing, they should have taken bigger HONDAs into consideration before finalising this ugly fairing & even engine remains unchanged.

I will keep my ZMA-R which is really far more good looking than this ZMR & will upgrade with new p220 which is far far more better with pricing, styling, power, lights & my favourate slogan "HAMARA BAJAJ"...

HH, U killed my hopes buddy...

Forget about test-ride dear, now I will only go once to HH showroom only to see if this fairing is tough enough to with-stand a standing fall if happened accidentially... HH has claimed a top whack of 135kmph but that is of now use bcoz looks are not that much appealing only, what to do with speed.

Xpect Mileage to be plus/minus 40 even with FI...

**TrueBlueBikeR** · 09-22-2009, 04:41 PM

yeah wait for the test results before any conclusions.

HH has never claimed 135 kmph as top speed..... some optimistic bike astrologers did that

**TrueBlueBikeR** · 09-22-2009, 04:43 PM

BTW the front profile of the bike looks like a mini GSXR , but still we got options to increase

the power ECU remap since its FI and K&N .

Ya it looks better in measurements but still i feel it just couldn't break the big shell of expectations that developed around it over a period of time. At the end of the day it simply feels like a mod job done by some mechanic. R15 is small but still it has looks and features that justify its ask for money.

Seriously i was pinning my hopes big time on ZMR but just not got what was expected. Now have to shuffle and decide between R15 and Thunderbird.

Same with me ...frustrated....now looking at the present bike ..i will go for bullet 500CC no other option left for me ...........the only bike with power though it belongs to different class.....

ooh that would be nice, btw have there been any power mods with zma-r ?

i still think r15 would be better to handle with its light weight etc (now dont start on , vo do diff bikes hai etc) Its just my personal comparison as i narrowed down to these two(after spyshots) and was waiting since then..

A comfy(smooth), reliable, safe, easy to handle, peppy bike was all that i needed

............good idea for all those who like all the upgrades except the fairing(it wil also help in better cooling

)....

I think he meant to make it semi-fairing like the old Karizma yet retain the head light and console assembly!!!
For this, I guess the full fairing requires some cutting to make it semi fairing if it were to be a two piece set. But if it happens to be four piece set, then making it a semi fairing one should be easier and oh! you also put in a leg / crash gaurd

Its just a matter of time buddy!
Initially many people said the R15 is out proportion in the rear. But now hardly anyone talks about it.

OT: Strictly speaking, to describe the front as "front profile" is erraneous

. Profile is used to describe a side view representation of an object. Like some says 'Long-cut' derived from 'short-cut'

.

**fast_ferocious** · 09-22-2009, 05:36 PM

What about the crash guard/Fairing guard ? Is there any provision for them or drilling is needed in the fairing??

**whizzkid_ram** · 09-22-2009, 05:40 PM

I don't think there would be a provision for this.

.perhaps we have to do it manually in local garage...

**chicane1879** · 09-22-2009, 05:41 PM

Check this out.Mr. Adil of Zigwheels astride the ZMR.

Some awesome shots of the bike.The bike looks refreshingly different and will definitely have good road presence!!

I am "Coming-for-you-Goldwing" Look!!

It is a multi piece fairing. There are multiple panels.

Its just a matter of time buddy!

It was talked so much that we got bored of it. Now there's new topic for us - the ZMR's side fairings... this will continue for a while.

Just can't do anything for that. Actually the crash guard is for saving you. Here the fairing does that job. If you want to save the fairing then detach it and keep it at home!
