Re: Karizma 2014 or CBR 150R? which one is a better buy?

Duke if you wont have a pillion always. Its lightweight, powerful and awesome to zip in traffic.

ZMR if you are going to ride with pillion most of the time or will go on long drives often.

It has to be the Duke.. the RC200 hasnt reached most of the showrooms rather not even a single showroom just yet. And completing 13000 kms in less than a month after launch?? Seriously??

Thanks guys...Yes its Duke 200 not RC.
Infact i liked the RC200, so went to the showroom to test ride it, Since there is no test ride vehicle available,I tried Duke 200 and was surprised with its straight riding position.
It was like a riding a faster and sporty FZ-S. That got me thinking.
Duke 200 was no where in the list till then as i love full fairing bikes more than the naked bikes.

Back to back Test ride of duke 200 and ZMR made me lean towards ZMR as it got decent pickup atleast till 60 and its so refined/smooth.
Having said that,ZMR vehicle which i rode has done only 82kms and Duke 200 was an abused one clocking 13000kms. So i will wait till i test ride a decently maintained Duke 200 to finalize my decision.

Duke can never match the smoothness of zmr. Trust me even a 50000 kms old zmr engine will run smoother than a 5000 kms old duke engine...

Karizma any day for the relaxed sitting position with a good pillion seat.. Duke if you want a track oriented bike. Both the bikes have good middle-distance touring capabilities.
Personally I like the finishing and engine of Karizma more than the Duke.

duke is a hooligan. a perfect street bike. Amazing pickup and handling. But it seems that they fixed the rear seat as an afterthought. No comfort at all.
ZMA is a great bike. No doubts about it. if your heart says go for it, then just go for it.

It has a pillion seat. Its a cowl shaped seat and is surprisingly comfy.

But don't you feel its too small to make us comfortable..???

I think all the companies should copy the rear seat size and design of ninja 650

According to me they must b giving test rides. I didn't asked them for the same because I like big and beautiful designs where as duke and rc both look small and busy.

PS: I am not starting any kinda war and this is my personal opinion.

Sport(y) bikes and comfort(able seats) don't go hand in hand! For that, you have long distance commuters and tourers.

Just go for the ninja300 or 650 then. They fit your requirements and they are fast too.
