Want a ride?. Review on Hero Honda Karizma

KarizmA

One of the best bike I’ve ever seen. It has all the comfort, speed, luxury and one best thing the peoples will look at you when you are handling karizma in your hands. The bikes current rate for Mumbai is 69000 but if you ask me about its part fearing of karizma will cost 10000 witch is also delicate. You can modify your own bike in karizma in between 25000.But original is original.

The KARIZMA breaks new ground and for the first time, breaks the 200cc barrier in the four-stroke, single-pot, Indo-Jap genre. The Karizma is an altogether different cup of tea, which is a stunning 223cc single, spewing out 17 bhp at 7000 rpm, which pushes the bike at a torque of 18.35 Nm at 6000 rpm. This is the Hero Honda with a difference.

what is this difference?

The difference is that unlike all other HH bikes, which have short-stroke engines, this one has a Long-Stroke engine. All the earlier HH bikes have the same stroke of 49.5 mm, with only the bore varying (increasing), being 50.0 mm for Splendor, 58.5 mm for Ambition and 63.5 mm for CBZ.

The Karizma on the other hand has a stroke of 66.2 mm, which is more than its bore of 65.5 mm. This not only gives it excellent Low End Torque (LET), but also allows it to produce its max. 17 bhp at 7000 rpm, while all the other HH bikes named above produce their max. bhp at 8000 rpm. Thus the Karizma’s Engine Life Factor (ELF) is almost 1.6 which is better than excellent, and more than most other bikes in the country today. With the long-stroke giving it excellent LET, and a low rated rpm giving it longevity, one is assured of relaxed riding pleasure for many years.

It is a medically proven fact that relaxed riding increases the longevity of rider. Yet I say the Karizma easily does zero to sixty, in 3.8 seconds (as claimed by HH), or maybe even less.

Gear Shifter (GS) of the Karizma is exactly the same (toe-only) as the CBZ. Even the kick-starter is the same CBZ type, which necessitates folding the RH footrest for kicking. Even though having a self starter helps, I wonder why HH is so die-hard about this feature.

The claim made in the leaflets of the Karizma is however definitely true, that is the claim of a top speed of 125 kph. Though I actually only touched a speed indicated 121 kph,while riding on karizma we tested in well it is comfortable bike no doubts but when me and friend were on race( small race on highway) we were having two bikes the dream machine karizma and pulser 180cc ,the fact is when karizma was touched at 110 kph pulser just overtake it at the speed of 100 kph may be speed difference

The only thing about karizma as name explains KARIZMA it is. There is a lockable helmet strap lock at LHS rear, which has a catch, upon pressing which the seat comes unlocked and can be lifted off. Under the seat, there is a snug, waterproof, dust-proof, latched plastic box, which holds the tool kit and battery warranty card. The first-aid kit also finds a place under the seat. The seat itself, the driver part of it that is, is cusped, leading to a slightly front-leaning riding posture, though less so than some other bikes having more deeply cusped seats.

15 liter fuel tank (FT) with a 2-litre reserve. The FT cap is removable (not hinged) and has a hinged flap to cover the keyhole in the cap to prevent water going in. The chassis is a single down-tube affair in the front, having engine as a stressed member. Massive rectangular section rear swing-arm makes for excellent flex-free riding and road holding. The huge silencer comes with a heat shield topped with a heel-rest loop to prevent pillion shoe-sole burn-off.
