Hero Honda Launches Karizma ZMR FI

We spilled the beans on the new Karizma ZMR FI when we showed you these pictures earlier. Hero Honda has now officially launched the new Karizma ZMR FI at a launch event in gurgaon. These pictures come to you from our friends at indianautotalk.
The new Karizma ZMR FI comes with the same 223 cc engine but now augmented with fuel injection which increases the power marginally at 17.6 bhp @ 7000 rpm with a maximum torque of 18.35 nm. Hero Honda also claims a top speed of 135 kmph.
The list of changes to the new Karizma include:
* Full Fairing
* Split Clip On Handle Bars
* Split rear grab rails
* New Colors
* PGM-FI (Programmable Fuel Injection)
* Mirrors mounted on the fairing
* New rear mud guard
* New headlamp and tail lamp which are now LED
* Fairing mounted front indicators
* New Graphics (Traditionally Hero Honda)
* Slightly reprofiled body work
* Gas Charged Rear Shock Absorbers

YUCK!!!!
UGLIEST BIKE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. HERO HONDA IS GOING TO THE DOGS
INDIANAUTOTALK??? HA HA YEAH RIGHT. ONLINE PIRATES
The front looks cool butg it doesnt seem to gel with the rear, esp when you look from the side!
17.6 ps is good..but i was expecting more!
Indeed, it was one of the much awaited launches but as it was perceived that ZMR would bring tough competition in its class, it is still to be seen how people will take this very mediocre looking bike at a price tag of Rs.91000/- Ex-showroom.
I was expecting some more stylish but overall ok.
Hero should Now Really start R&D(Research&Development) to bring better Bikes.Look at Pulsar 220 DTS-i ,what a Value For Money!Same with TVS Apache RTR 180 or 160 FI !.Jap c*aps are NOT Welcomed.So are their cultish fanboys too.
i dont know why hero honda is making fun of itself…
i have been a die hard hero honda fan. but with this fugly, underpowered and overpriced bike, i am very very dissappointed. i am now going to book the pulsar 220 dtsi now.
Wahhh…. Ive been waiting for a long time for the HH designers to brush their minds.. but I think they’ve scratched their heads too much for this new KZ … I got to feel like sort of YUCK when i saw it.. for a clumzy city commuter its one huge cart.. but on tracks… anyone listening to this… just a basic question to these brilliant geeks.. Is this position and the wheelbase and the entire size good for taking this machine ON TRACKS… one has to reach and hang on to the handle bars instead of handling the bike like a niche… Such a huge frontend and slimzy rear .. For small and short ppl.. think of them.. for huge fellas its okay.. they’ll manage… Oh gaush… HH designers and fabricators.. only god knows when will u start giving a competitive spectacular design… Im not blaming HH altogether.. just make up ur minds after hearing to what ive said (IF) :):) anyways.. kudoz for their PGM-FI implication on this beast..
Im sure all thse folks criticizing ZMR are from the HH’s Competitor’s community…SO Guys, dont trust anyone but urself!!!
HERO HONDA HAS OUTSOURCED DESIGNING OF ITS BIKES TO CHINA
fucking bike!!! wat expectations i had! all fucked up
Zma is proven over 6 odd years as the best premium bike in India, the bike looks good and many features have been added, old zma itself has the guts to take on R15/P220, so it’s a great machine at the end of the day….Thanks Hero Honda.
sad ,real sad. It looks like an chinese clone of the first karizma ( awesome bike ) just like gulsar which is chinese clone of pulsar. We should call it GARIZMA.
@vadi
ur probably rite,tat those guys here criticising the beloved karizma must be from the competitors camps,but the sheer number of the nay sayers does go on to show how large these competitors camps hav become rite..al they cud extract out of the engine inspite of fuel injection is a lousy .5 hp more than the prehistoric version which appeared ages ago..and they actually hav te guts to ask customers more for it..lets take a look at these ‘competitors camps’ the r15 comes from a a genuine worldclass company and its a worldclass product-a thoroughbred track bike.on the other hand,p220 is better suited to straight line speed,and since bajaj cant beat yam in pure R&D efforts,thet went ahead and endowed it wit useful features like those astonishing headligjts and the massive tyres,to mention a few..granted,karizma coms from a great company too,but the comparjson stops tere..its neither a track bike,nor fast in a straight line,nor is it cheap or value for money.so wat exactly is its USP?hero really shud hav started their own R&D wen TVS and bajaj started theirs,instead of fallin at the feet of their jap bosses everytime they want to introduce new body graphics..

had so much hopes on the new karizma.forget the looks , wat abt the engine upgrades , a puny .5bhp more?.HH has killed an legend.
THIS UGLY BIKE WILL BE BOUGHT ONLY BY BLIND AS A BAT HERO HONDA LOYALSTS, WHO CAN’T SEE ANYTHING ELSE.
TO MAKE UP FOR THE HEDIOUS CHINESE DESIGN AND LACK OF POWER, HERO HONDA FAN BOYS WILL MAKE HUGE NOISES ABOUT HOW THE TOP QUALITY REAR VIEW MIRRORS.
@rohit,
in the site uve mentioned,its given that the cooling mechanism for the new ZMR is liquid..aint tat dead wrong?plus its given that its got discs allround..
Disappointing!!! HH must have done a better job with this one. The styling looks cheap aftermarket
@Jitin
I have visited Hero Honda’s Showroom…. got official brochure of Karizma ZMR…. it also says that new Karizma comes with liquid cooling and front-rear disc brakes….. They said they will get the stock on 11th November and price is 91000.00

well said sheshadri82
comeon why pay 13k for hunk back and .6 bhp its better to pay 10 k more to get ur hands on r15 atleast for its styling and change atleast.
HH needs to really wake up in the looks and suspension department. After getting it right with the Hunk, they’ve gone back to create a half cafe racer with dual shocks. Motorcycles coming upwards of 90k ought to have monoshocks and tubeless tyres at least. Remember the teaser ads featuring Hrithik just when he changed the graphics, it was as if a great change was on the cards. No surprises as the company is HH. They start & others hijack the segment like with the old CBZ.
had lots of hopes on this bike, but hero honda has screwed up the old karizma in almost all possible ways.
now i have to search for another bike..
the brochures mention that the new ZMR engine is OIL COOLED. an oil cooled engine is NOT like a liquid cooled engine.
even the Pulsar 220 and the Avenger has Oil Coolers in which the engine oil is cooled by a radiator. the engine remains as AIR COOLED.
its a great looking bike,i thinking to change my zmr
WEll said guys.
REal cheap lookin.
Robbed things from our own market. Heres d list
Head lamps - SUZUKI GS 150R
Tail - CBZ XTreme
Fairing - NINJA 250 like
Digital tacho - FZ
SAme old thin tyres
No Tubeless
Same old shocks from Hunk. Wots wrong wit HH. Would have priced 65000. NO value for money in this new ZMR
bike is good n hero honda is trustable ,all those who r commenting just catch the bike on road it is eye catching ,don’t comment by sitting idle at home ,check it out at showrooms ../ur eye’s will definately can’t move to another bike
hero honda is trustable doesn’t mean others make bike which fall apart wen u stare at them hard,buddy..and in anycase,in which sense did u mean HH is trustable?tat u trust them to shortchange u yet again?and,like I had read somewhere,to make up for te performance,or te lack of it rather,HH fanboys will crying out loud abt quality of it mudguard o n te lustre of te grab handle n stuff.n if ur sole aim in life is to own a piece of junk which has eyeball grabbing value,ul b much better off wit a pink colored moped wit headers(mayb a full fairin too,just to massage te fat ego of HH fanboys)
Yuckkks! what a sad bike… i mean what is the bike’s persona?
the lines are all messed up!!!
these guys need to take some lessons in styling from yamaha…
with dud bikes like this to compete with no wonder the yams are scorching the sales charts
herohonda jati dinga…………..vani aya ni dinga…………..makyaloudi eduku tayarru chasav ra suliga……….na suli chesku
this thing looks likes 1990’s sport bike very very very very very very very bad styling
old one’s looks better
we want sporty looks and power yamaha knows the need of youngster better then hero honda
wow wat a fuking bike …. i hav not seen this type of bloody bike… this makes a great damage to the youngsters….. none of the figures will see if u ride this stupid karizma so better buy a tvs 50 and ride
Marvellously designed one of the most yuk bike of the year…HH R&D should start designing the tricycle for kids..wat exactly they wanted to put those fairingfor is completely beyond imagination..guys focus on performance and power than those nonsense..ppl dont want tin factory…a little here n there to karizma n xtreme myt not wrk work wonders when theres already R15 & Pulsar 220 with style n performance…come dwn to the roadside garages and study hw a bike shld b designed…seriously yuk…
actually they dun have their own r&D and wt ever they have is from honda..so they keep playin wid it..to take enjines from honda costs a lot..but they r not fools …rite..they mite have some goal regarding this..i am sure they wud have done a big survey..actually guys want a bike which can run and give a gud milage..i think thats y they have reduced the bhp…lets see we cant say anethin till we get to ride the bike,,,
personally speakin i have zma..its a great bike …but i dun like the service which h honda provides..still its a great company..
My expectation was higher to put some words to pulsars, but it degraded instead of upgrade….. Old karizma is better yet to answer the rivals. Not happy at all with HH.
nice but not so sporty
it would have been much better…………
in my opinion the old karizma itself looked much better than zmr! and on top of that 91k ex-showroom price is too much to ask.
check this link every body. This can be the actual modification of the karizma ZMR which should be considered ny HeroHonda(Munjals) or the Design engineers from HH.
Below am pasting the link for the Modified ZMR
