      Its pretty simple...the ZMA fits your requirements

      No maintenance, comfortable and equally good on the highway and the city.
      Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

          HH was talking about launching 'new' Karizma after Honda launched its 'big bikes'.

          So you might want to wait a bit.

            yes, a new sticker with parrot green frame and chili red engine and magenta alloys (borrowin inflammable's words ) and white wall tube type tyres...a new generation analogue meters to invoke nostalgia...all this with 16.9 BHP

            No offense...the ZMA is still a class bike...same cannot be said about its manufacturer when it comes to upgrades.

                According to articles found on net, they are/were planning to launch it after Honda's Big Bikes got launched.

                Well, Honda's big bikes have now got launched, Pulsar 220 is due for update in March/April and Karizma FI may be launched within same time period.

                  I like that ! It pretty well sums up what HH has been doing with its bike in the recent past.

                    IMHO, the TBTS would be a lovely option for you. Please take a test ride, a longish one at that. The cruiser ergos are very comfortable and it returns a good mileage of 40-45 KMPL. Though the Zma is a very good bike, I think that you should consider the TBTS too.

                        Congrats!!! Welcome to ZMA family.
                        My ZMA gives around 40kmpl from the beginning. In highway the milage goes up. It all depends on your riding habit, the traffic and the quality of fuel.

                        @ Mods,
