Hero Karizma R was the first semi fairing bike in India under 1lac rupees, it had great charm back then. It had butter smooth engine, good handling and ride quality, great touring capability, hero Honda's reliability etc. But since Bajaj launches Pulsar 220, Karizma looses it's charm as Pulsar has punchier engine with great outright acceleration and top speed, sportier looks, more features etc.
Even the new generation EBR inspired Karizma cannot hold a candle against newer generation Pulsars, Apaches. So for a second hand bike, this is great but not for first hand customers.
