  • I'm trying to understand from a ZMA-R owners if I make a choice to buy one for touring, will ZMA-R would be a right choice given the scenario of Hero - Honda split? From what I heard/known is that this bike is a true tourer and compared to A180, the riding position would be far comfy. Need some light .

      I don't own ZMA-R, but I can tell you one thing, you can't say anything 'concrete' about future, H-H expiry is due 2014, as far as fear of availability of spares, Honda will not let down, spares is also a profitable business, and one can expect some one to cater to customer's spares needs, in the worst case, both H & H will face public wrath, I don't think that will go to that level.

      If u still feel uncomfortable you can easily lay hands on GSR or even Unicorn, they can be good tourers as well.

        I think the ZMA-R/ZMR rulez as a motorbike, though not an owner and have been guilty of critising that bike in the past over time spent here on XBHP and expeirencing more and more of motorcycling and what it is about am now convinced tha Karizma is what I d want to be on is on a longish expidition on two wheels! (If considering an Indian bike )

        See the Hero - Honda split is the future and we can only speculate right!? and my take on it is that Hero being a corporation that they are will certainly have agreements and clauses in place to safeguard the technology transfer and stuff. Of course new products and developments we just have to wait and see. I d really want a ZMR if I can get me hands on one...Make mine in Black or White please!

            If I were your friend, 12 days waiting for spares is OK. I had to wait for some months for RX spares. I would console that way

                        • Go for apache 180..Its far better than ZMA in terms of handling,acceleration and braking!
