Karizma bike, from the house of hero honda, is the most imposing andstrong present Indo- Jap motorbike. Besides its 223cc engine power, thehero honda Karizma reaches 60 KPH within less than 4 seconds. Theperfect sporty looks Karizma make it quite an attraction on the roads.Its brawny and beefy structure makes it the most sought-after motorbikein India. The built of Karizma is such that it looks very much similarto a race bike because of its low slung handle bar and raised pillion.And hence, Karizma is a hot favorite among the youth.
How does it look?
The bike has very little resemblance to the old CBZ, the headlightsgot a completely new design. However this is a small disappointment toCBZ lovers because the new ones do not look as good as the old one andalso looks a little small for a bike of this size. The first thing thatone would notice in this bike is the indicator lights.
Both the back and front indicators merge with the main lights and it looks really nice and unique. The side partof the bike also got a significant face lift. The coloured body partconnects as a single line from the tank to the tail lights and is verynicely contoured. Another feature which adds to its cool looks is thegrip handle bars for the pillion rider… standing out as two individualhorn like bars, it adds to the uniqueness of CBZ. Also the silencer isnew and improved.
Features:The dash board has 3 dials, one for thespeedometer, one for the rpm indicator and another for the fuelindicator… all of them descend in the order of the size… looks nicedoesn’t it? The shock absorbers do not have the Gas shock absorber unitas it is advertised in Hunk and other bikes, but I would confidentlysay that it does not make the slightest difference in ride quality.
