Mumbai - Rs. 1, 07,000
Bangalore - Rs. 1, 10,000

Is it really value for money?
Seeing all the technology specs and all the loaded features it is worth the amount being charged. It is complete city and a tourer bike which has very smooth handling. The rider as well as the pillion will feel the comfort when they are riding on this bike.
If you are rider who wants to compete in racing circuit then this bike won't of any help to you because this bike is meant for a comfortable ride in a city and not to drag on a circuit.

What are the main features you should look out in the new Hero Honda Karizma ZMR?
• Bold graphics and very good paint job compared to the old Karizma
• Better mileage due to PGM - FI technology installed in the bike
• Newer chassis and little enhanced design compared to its previous version
• Much better looking silencer and its shield
• Filled with technology i.e very good dashboard display for accelerometer and rpm

Performance: Looks wise it is the best in class. With all the newly added technology like PGM - Fi, oil cooled mill uses throttle position sensor, bank angle sensor, crank position sensor, oxygen sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor and finally a 223cc bike. You have almost all the features which you expect from an Indian. But the new technology also has downsides. To service this new bike with PGM - Fi you need to give to the authorized service center only which becomes heavy on your pockets sometimes. Spilt bars make the ride more comfortable.

Downsides of Hero Honda ZMR!
• Under powered bike for 223cc.
• At times of accidents, parts of the bike are very expensive (front fairing will cost around Rs. 30, 000)
• Maintenance is costly because of new technology
• Top speed is less compared to other 220 cc bikes.

Final Review: If you really have big pockets and shell out 1lakh and also you can take the little bit heavy maintenance cost on your pocket then this bike is meant for you. Performance wise, this is one the best city bikes you can find in India. If you want to show off among your friends then this is definitely a bike which you should own
