    I checked my ol ZMA manual and found out these interesting tid bits...

    >The ol zma's length was 2125mm, the ZMR's is 2110( as per d brochure pix v got)

    >the ol zma's width was 755mm as against the zmr's 805mm..think a 50mm bigger place to tuck ur legs in!

    >the ol zma's height was 1160 as against this ones 1175mm

    >the wheelbase of zma is 1355 compared to the ZMR's 1350mm.

    Can anybody gimme the ground clearance figures for ZMA...?

    its a 150cc block thrwoing out 17 horses...but t still maintians very good refinement levels when compared to other bigger bore bikes!!!

    So it basically boils down to the precision engineering that manufratures adopts.
    Riaz R15 has loads of technical stuff to even compare it with the existing 150ccs

        I was just opposing the saying that Refinement and power have inverse releation. No doucbt that R15 cant be compared with other 150cc, infact other bigger bikes in india.

          So it basically boils down to the precision engineering that manufratures adopts.
          The point here is yamaha has to do all R&D for their engineering on their own, so they have to build their product from scratch, while in case of HH its just taking engine from honda checking the frame which fits it, do some minor adjustments and add plastic components and put some stickerings and come out, honda has built very good engines which are as good as Yamaha R15, so all hero honda has to do is just do the job of fixing the engine in its frame and launch a bike, which we can say though its copied but its good, instead of re launching the same traditional engine again and again as if this continues for long i feel karizma will also fall from the category of premium bikes and come into normal range of other 150 cc and all, while in case of R15 thought its a 150 cc but its a class apart, and yamaha has proved that it can rule the market again like it did with RX 100.

          Secondly i just pray the spare parts and good skilled engineers should be available on time for the new karizma zmr or it will give a bad repo for all those people who will buy it, or the case will be like you want a spare part in white but the dealer says only black is available majking the bike in technicolor

                          Looks like Overdrive got blue, black and red ZMRs for testing/previewing.

                          • The pics are getting better and better day by day and the looks of the bike too getting better and bettery day after day.

                            So far, I have read two previews of the bike; Bike India and Overdrive. Seems the bike's capabilities are almost same as old ZMA except in few areas. The bike is definitely quicker to 60 kmph marginally which is nothing to boast. Both the reviews say the bike feels a lot better at higher speeds and seems 0-100 figures would be very much better. The ride quality has increased due to GRS shocks at rear. Also, the engine seems to feel very less stressed at red line too. With sane riding, a mileage of 40-45 is expected in city. And my guess is at speeds around 80-90 on highway, the bike may deliver an FE of 45 kmpl.

                            Just enquired at Bhanu Automobiles about the bike. I knew the sales girls have little knowledge about this bike and I directly went and spoke to the Manager over there. Got a proper response and the bike is expected to be in showrooms for dispaly by first week of October. He took my contact number and said he would call as soon as the bike arrives.
