Wat is ur Age?
U work or Study(college goer)?
U use it for daily commuting? Touring? Just to ride?Racing?
U want More Mileage than power - because Splendour and passion are low powered bikes and gives more mileage which is not expected with ZMA R
And i dont think so Zma is made for City Commuting -its more than a tourer than a Commuter

Answere the above Questions we wil help u

He seems to be looking for city commuting.
We need some details like type of usage, type of riding, budget etc.
Before hearing all these, I recommend the RTR 180 though!

To answer specifically to your query - Piece of cake.

To give a broader answer - There are better options for city traffic.

im 24 and working in a mnc
I mainly use the bike for city commuting

thanks for all ur suggestions
im not planning to take Karizma R and not the ZMR
im ok with the mileage of 35-45 and moreover i like HH as a brand
But i have never driven a Karizma
So wanted to know how the handling of this bike would be in citty traffic

Sorry, i meant to say im planning to take the Karizma R and not the ZMR

**srini** · 10-09-2009, 07:20 AM

zma is one of those bikes on which you can learn riding...what i meant to say is,it's a very forgiving bike.So,handling etc etc shouldnt be a problem to you though it has a larger turning radius...

**shirish** · 10-09-2009, 07:33 AM

thanks for ur suggestion srini
im going for a test drive today

**shirish** · 10-09-2009, 07:40 AM

and i have another query
can an extension be attached to the gear for heel gearing
if its possible would that cause any issue

**srini** · 10-09-2009, 07:46 AM

I don't think that's possible...maybe you need to replace the stock toe shifter to a two levered shifter from another bike which IMO is not advisable... considering every other premium bike comes with a toe shifter,I don't see any reason why you should be bothered...
