    Nice write up Ken Sir with some great pics , the Big ZERO in the digi console reminds me of Honda civic's console . I love it.

    Waiting for the ride report...

      From the Specs:

      Although the same size 100/90 section does duty on its rear, addition of 'Tubeless' tyres is a welcome and much needed change.

      Weight gain is noticable.. up by 9 kgs (159 kgs now).. understandably the official top speed is just 126 kmph.

      The ZMR would not be be the fastest in acceleration or in top speed among desi bikes.. but then it should be a smooth long distance performer.

        important thing to notice is :-

        after ~8000RPM the bike comes into the red zone..

        just want to know How can a bike weighing 159KG and ~18NM torque can have that..(of u compare with 220 and R15)
        IS there any dependency or something.....

        clarify me if i m wrong..

                Finally! Some concrete news and decent photographs With the addition of the Fuel Injection, I guess this bike should be even better than the previous generation. And it seems to be a good move by HH to keep the carbureted version for sale along with the new model.

                Thank you Ken da for the pics and the info.

                  It is a digital display, the kinds you find on Suzuki's Intruder/Boulevard and such similar motorcycles.

                  OT Question not answered for obvious reasons!
                  The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                    1. 16BIT ECU processor for the FI.
                    2. Oil Cooler.
                    3. 12Hole FI.
                    4. Engine Oil Temp Sensor.
                    5. Intake Air Temp Sensor.
                    6. Throttle Postion Sensor.
                    7. Crank Position Sensor.
                    8. Oxygen Sensor.
                    9. Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
                    10. Idle Air control Valve.
                    Ken da, so oxygen sensor means the bike have a closed loop system???

                        Really great pics and this bike looks better now .. and big and tall(real tall when seen from front-side angle).

                        But 0-60 in 3.7secs -- isn't it a bit overestimate considering no other bike in the category or sub category with even 20% more power-weight ratio can't do that?

                          Now starting to like the design a bit....(Only the front part)...Rear is still weird!

                          Nice snaps Ken da.

                            But 0-60 in 3.8 -- isn't it a bit overestimate considering no other bike in the category or sub category with even 20% more power-weight ration can't do that?
                            One thing even we havent been able to figure out till date. Expect a more realistic figure of around 4.5 to 4.6 seconds with an average rider on board

                                more of an eyecandy ...

                                hmm... cool Ken da...

                                really nice snaps.. and awesome and informative wirte up !!

                                Love the looks... but the ZMR seems more of an eyecandy to me !! after adding FI.. increasing the price by.. 11k.. still the top speed and peak power are almost the same.. and again those bicycle-like rear tyres ...

                                But love the looks.. headlamps.. colours.. and console ... ... The ZMR is somewhat like Fazer ...


                                and ... does anyone has the snaps of the talilights.. are they the same.. or they have chnaged it ???
