18.5nm torque, 135kmph top speed,PGM-FI(Fuel Injection),Full Body Cowl, rear disk, Rs 156520 Pakistani Rupees ex-showroom price.This Guy @Rohit Sood Deserves all the credits for the coverage.

The "17.6bhp @7000rpm,18.5nm torque" line is Not Confirmed.By the Looks ,this Bike is around 20-21bhp,with a good torque figure.

Ugly just plain UGLY. the old karizma seems to have been raped by the suzuki GSX and the Hayabusa.

YUCK. looks like a cheap chinese rip off.

Well Well..I hope the bhp is not 17.6 ,the 180cc Bikes like TVS Apache 180 and Pulsar 180 got that much power.Honda is Making Hero Group real tough times after their Tie-up was Over some years back.Honda wants to release quarter litre(250cc) bikes in India soon.Hero Honda Might have to go for another collaboration or use their Engineers for Future.

But PGM-FI is something great and simpler(and cheaper) than Bajaj's or TVS's Fuel Injection techniques.

Hero Honda Motorcycles are Known For reliability.These Motorcycles simply will not die even after decades of Use.

Regarding,Full Farings ,I am not a fan of body cowls and Likes Semi-naked Bikes like Bajaj Pulsar 220 or Karizma-R .

Nice effort! (Y) Better than previous one.Front somewhat looks like TVS Apache.

Disappointing specs P-220 is much better than this.

fella's at xbhp are speculating that the specs published are not true OR there may be 2 versions of ZM-R out in few days time.

ROHANGENIUS (ROHANGENIUS) 2009-09-21 10:06:00 +0600 #10

Even 20-21 bhp is not good enough as Yamaha soon going to launch Fazor 250.I think they should bring CBR 150 and 250 in India to compete others specially Yamaha.

In 2 hours time ,the New Karizma ZM-R will be Launched attended by Brand Ambassedor Mr.Hrithik Roshan.
