Oye Spidy, that is a very less figure. 30-35 kmpl in city is apt. In fact, I have been getting the same in the city traffic. Are you sure it is not a typo?

Also, at speeds above 120 kmph, I get only around 32-33 kmpl only.

No typo man, 30 kmpl is my average 'average in city, I have to do some crazy antics at lower gears with higher RPMs while going to office, vis-a-vis:Mumbai traffic

n My bike behaves best when on constant 120+ kmph

(those consist of NH4/8/3/17 & GQ)

Great find Mehul! Real nice place and damn cool it has dual horns. The only sore point is the 35/35W headlight. They could have put a 55/60W bulb. And, I hope at least it goes good with after market 55/60w bulb.

35W headlight is something which I can't digest

, is there a wattage b/w 35 and 55W ?

So to tune the horn need to remove the Fairing ,,, wierdo

the 55/60 do a gr8 job, although they are just not enough for night riding. Just not enough!
But the zma has a good battery and have seen many guys fitting HIDs without problems.
Atleast now, the horn wires wont be exposed. gr8 way to tuck em in..

Much much better. Got dual ones.

PS: My Karizma used to deliver 36-38kmpl in city easily

**vipin_s** · 09-23-2009, 08:36 PM

Bunny Sir, How are headlights ? 35W... is it a let down ?? how did you find them ?

**myg124** · 09-23-2009, 08:37 PM

I guess this time HH have given more than enough standard features to fiddle with...full body kit, fi, clipons, led lights, dual horns, digi speedo etc etc... I can foresee people removing the rear tyre and putting in a powerful light n the bikes good to go. if not, great!

Whoa!

wow man, You must be a really well behaved rider + Pune roads, I luv 'em. Mumbai just dont let me be (a normal rider), office is 16 kms. away

Till half an hour back my opinion on styling was
1) Dint like the curvy side fairings, specially to the front when looked from side. It looked as good in ZMA.
2) Didnt liked the front view , looked like a bird to me.
3) Liked some stance of the bike (a few pics posted by Ken)

Now I have the Oct issue BI. Now I feel the front view is better than the ZMA. There is one pic where bike is kept in ceter stand and pic taken from front. It looks damn good. Blue looks really good.

As a owner of a ZMA the bike as a whole doesnt appeal to me much.
But if kept ZMA aside and as some one looking to buy a new bike this is really a good package. Every one used to complain abt lack of goodies now it comes with all and Fi is also a real welcome. Only this is wish they lower cost of spares if not body parts aleast things like disc pad, chain sprocket set etc.

getting 35-38 in city is not a prob for ZMA in city.
Even if u ride in 70-90 range is very much possible provided ur bike is in good tune, well lubed chain and correct air pressure..
It also depends on ur riding stlye and how u attain and maintain that seep
I used to get 40-43 but those days u i used to ride in 55-75 range

OT Ends

Is there a complete review in the Oct BI issue or just a pictorial review ?

**myg124** · 09-23-2009, 08:48 PM

I hope the dual horns aint bad given the assurance from Bunny bro.

Lets see!

Actually, its a great preview review! Really making us look forward to the Nov issue now!

Hmm,, was waiting eagerly for the launch. I won't say i am totally disappointed. Although the fastest indian has raised the expectation bar a bit too up for the other competitors, still this bike has given a great alternative to high segment owners.

The features have been improved alot, i can say that same is in for yamaha FAZER or FZ since they are feature packed people are still buying them when on putting a bit more money they can get them p220 dtsi easily.

Also the great thing is top end has been improved to 135KMPH. i hope its not improved only on DIGI error side.

but I am bit confused for myself. i own a p200 which " according to me" is the best looking indian bike.,,, r15 is equally beautiful but i never liked the back side , the tyres and the rear seat set-up.

Now if i need to buy a bike,a new bike... Which bike i should move on to..
P220 dtsi for true 145kmph,, or r15 for nice sports experience.. orrr Stick to my P200 which gives me 120kmph. or i should go for this new Karizma ZMR top end 135kmph.

Also old ZMA users can you help me wats the top end are you getting from your bikes.
