    In your case, this thread has been in discussion for quite sometime. Is that you have some personal difficulty in taking decision or is that waiting for the right time.

    Your response to Dual Disc shows your immaturity and arrogance which members will boo at you. If you want to get your point discussed would request you to maintain some decorum and some etiquette.

    Whether your purpose of opening this thread had made any sense to you or not, I've decided to get a ZMA. In a way should thank you.
    Thats what i wanted to say that some one may take time to decide and some decide fast.And i am going to get my bike through EMI for a period of 2 years.So,later one if i don't like the bike,i will not be able to sell it..I am surely getting either of the two within april.
    BTW,how does the ZMA handles in city?

    Edit:Congrats that you have decided to get a ZMA..When are you getting?

      To much of my friends critics have decided for ZMA. When am I getting it? That's a big question right now. So near yet so far. As I said, would take some time as there are pending orders according to Chennai Hero Honda Regional Office. If there are anyone backing out, might get a chance to acquire little soon.

              • I too have heard about this issue. Mine has done 21k, no issues so far. Mine is a Zma-R so don't know whether issue was addressed by HH since Zma days.

                    To all who are thinking of going in for a ZMA..please do ..After looking through various posts on various bikes, and 400+pages and 4000+ posts on ZMA...I decided recently to go in for a ZMA, for the much acclaimed refinement,and reliability..I bought a pre-owned 2007 ZMA-R with 21,550 on odo,single owner,with minimal problems like oil leak through Neutral indicator stud,chain loose,oil to be changed,battery weak etc.,Believe me the bike fulfilled and surpassed my expectations.Initially handling in Chennai traffic was difficult as my precious bike is a KB100.In a week's time the ZMA became the bike I ride most.In fact I am able to weave around in traffic with confidence,on stock MRF tires front and back...and now i consistently do above 60Kmph without knowing, because I just couldn't judge the speed with engine note and the bike shows no sign that you are doing 60..It needs to be fine tuned as it is running rich and returning 32 Kms /liter in city....
                    My fear about spares being costly was also put to rest as the neutral indicator stub was just 28/-...rear brake shoes 110/-...front fork oil seal 130/-...all from HH SVC.
                    HH had learnt their lesson and had vastly reduced their spares price..so the cost of maintenance has also come down.
                    If you are looking for a torquey tourer/city rider,which will do 90Kmph in a relaxed way,and is very stable at those speeds....and will accept an average of 35-40Kms per liter..then go for the ZMA.
                    Just my thought.

                      Good to know that you love ZMA and offcourse valuable information on spares. This would give someone an idea while deciding ZMA.

                        even i felt so in case of my ZMR, spares aren't that costly as i expected them to be..which is certainly a good thing among flagship models of companies

                            I own A180 and not a single problem I had faced uptill now from this bike in 7k kms of riding.IMO,if you maintain the bike well,there is no need to visit SS frequently.And the one way clutch problem was in the older batches,TVS had rectified it now in newer batches.So you wont have one way clutch going kaput.

                            A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                                The one way clutch thing was in the < 2008 models not in k9,k10,k11 models.
