Any body going for this one ??. Review on Hero Honda Karizma

The Karizma becomes the first of the modern

motorcycles to cross the (psychological) 200 CC barrier. The engine is pretty straightforward, a CBZ-style 2-valve SOHC four-stroke single displacing a full 223 CC. The five-speed transmission gets to deal with the 16.8 horses that gallop forth at 7000 rpm..impressive huh ??. But the real subject of discussion should be the massive 1.84 kgm of torque that peaks at 6000 rpm, making for a relatively low-rev high acceleration experience. No wonder this is in zoom for the most of the accelerators and moved on to the rest of release in june/july as thats the season for break for coll/in advertizer's words towards new un ventured area of market.

Hero Honda claims figures which bear this out. Top speed = 125 kph, 60 kph up in just 3.8 seconds, a full second quicker than the Bajaj Pulsar 180.

Similarity b the mother of all

Like the CBZ, Hero Honda has used a single downtube cradle frame with a fat box-section swingarm and twin shock rear suspension. Electric start is optional and you can have your Karizma in seven colours.But of all raving is Black or to say Jet black which is for ever fav with spikez and trendy persons...i recommend silver ...for it looks class

Bridging points

will be the striking looks

mean 275 mm disc brake . Note the black alloys as well(as I ve mentioned earlier)

The headlight is Unique,

Gizmos are talk of this bike which include a digital display on the instruments which has the odo/trip meters, fuel gauge also a clock to check time.

Prize=79,500 on road in Bangalore.

Unique features of KARIZMA:

Advanced Microprocessor Ignition (AMI) System with an Intelligent Carburettor having CCVI (Carb Controlled Variable Ignition), to help in better control of ignition timing. It further improves the drivability, acceleration and also betters the fuel-efficiency.

Ignition cut-off feature to prevent damage to engine at high rpm.

Constant Vacuum Carburettor provides the right air-fuel mixture required by the engine, independent of the external conditions such as air temperature, density and humidity.

KARIZMA also includes several first-time features to provide accurate measurements to the rider, such as: Digital Odometer, Digital Tripmeter, Digital Fuel Gauge and Real Time Clock.

The large front disc brake of the motorcycle offers most effective braking with minimal of effort. Moreover, the braking effectiveness would not diminish even under extreme weather conditions.
