Hero Honda Karizma R Reviews

No!
Jan 19, 2014 11:03 PM 151447 Views

Steering is different from other all bikes. The same problem lies with Pulsar 220F. It is difficult to concentrate whether on head or on front wheel?


It has steering just like leg pedal school cycle.It has cycle steering. There are chances of falling down for the new drivers because it is a heavy bike.


If it had three tyres there would be no problem.This point should kept in mind, so the driver gets a chance to practice with it.

I purchased Karizma R in July'13. Its a superb bike with nice looks, engine power and comfort. I am getting a decent mileage around 40kmpl since second service. For a few thousands of km, gear shift was a little bit hard. But as bike uses more, gear shift becomes Smooth. Its very common for all bikes.


The price tag is very affordable for a 223cc bike, especially from Hero brand. Fit and finish of the bike is good.


U will definitely notice the riding position of Karizma, where u can sit steady and comfortably, which offers great confidence in road.


Due to the weight of the vehicle u will feel the sporty effect while driving., even after 80kmph also u will not feel the speed of the bike. Breaking and stability is excellent. U can cuts into the corners and bends very easily, that will give an ultimate sports bike feeling.


Meter console with a trip meter and digital clock is very convenient, but fuel gauge sometimes gives wrong readings. Tail lamps are very attractive. Kicker provided is not in convenient position, but the self start alone will do the job perfectly.


Rear view mirror is still the old type, visor mounted will b more attractive like R15 or pulsor 220. Karizma suits to all age types. If u r planning to buy this macho machine, don't wait for. Get it soon.


Makes u Feel Like - U own the Road

Hi Friends,


First I would like to thank all, who has written their reviews here. It was very helpful for me when I decided I would go Karizma R.


Here is some of my experience which I would like to share, I purchased this bike in Oct 2011 and using it comfortably till date without any regrets. I feel this is the right time I can review about this bike.


My History : - I basically enjoy driving long rides, and I wanted to go for Royal Enfield 350 Classic but I could not wait for 10-12 months and could not afford the cost.


Then my comparison started with the bikes in 75k - 1 lakh range, I dint want to go for Bajaj so was checking with Fazer, FZ, Unicorn, Apache. FZ, Apache and unicorn got ruled out in the first stage itself and my major comparision was Fazer and Karisma as I was looking for a bike which suits City Rides and Long Rides.


Fazer and Karisma are almost in the same price range - U ve got a advantage of Engine of 223 cc when compared to Fazer. But Fazer has got other better features than Karizma like - Tyres, Suspension, Comfort, Digital Speedometers. Then I decided engine and power matters and I purchased this Awesome Machine.


My Experience : Let me tell you this is one bike which has got looks, power, comfort and suitable for both city rides and highways and suits all age group.


Mileage - I get a mileage of 35-37 Kms if I ride smoothly and keep the RPM between 3 and 4 and regular service. If I throttle up and I drive a bit rash it comes down 32 to 34.


Power - I have clocked up to 125 KM driven continuously for 10 kms with a pillion rider. But the exact speed would be 90 to 100 to have a better control, breaking and pleasant ride on highways. And one thing in city rides when u throttle up in the initial stage in 2nd and 3rd gear - u will really feel the actual power of this engine, pick up and it feels great.


Comfort - One of the Best suitable for long rides next to Bullet and in the range of bikes in 1 Lakh. I have driven comfortably for 275 Kms continous drive with 2 intervals of 10mins. And my best is I haven driven 475 Kms in a day and 800 kms in 2 days. I have driven from Bangalore to Wayanad, Calicut, Vellore, Hogennakal, Chennai, Pondicherry, Mysore, Ooty in these 2 years and my experience in all these rides were Just great and memorable with  my Karizma R.


Okay friends this is just my experience, let me end it up with this if you have decided to buy this bike.. guys just stop thinking more and comparing and go for this Awesome Machine..


And one major thing I don like in this bike is the handle bar what comes with bike and service support is bit sad.


Bikes - I feel FZ, Fazer, Pulsar 220, Unicorn are also great bikes which is comparable with this bike and all these bikes has their own advantages and disadvantages and unique with one another, so go with what u r heart says.

Karizma Always A Game

Karizma was the bike I always wanted and on 4th May 2013 I bought it. I am very much happy by the performance of my bike. The comfortness is good. The Bike just touches 100kmph speed within a few seconds.


The petrol consumption is also such that it doesn't empty our pockets. The bike gives u awesome feeling while riding. If u want a awesome bike with the awesome engine which has long life then I must say get a karizma! Karizma--


Always Game! I am a happy and proud owner of Karizma!

-It brings a Royal feeling while riding it.


-I just love to ride my Karizma R.


-One thing i.e. the fuel consumption of the bike should be improved than it would be perfect in each sense.


-The after sale service related to the bike is good too.

Terrible after sales service
Jul 05, 2013 10:41 AM 61003 Views

Hero doesn't care about customers once the bike is sold (my warranty going in vain )


I bought my bike last year in September 2012. From the very first day, the speedometer needle was vibrating too much for which i was reassured that such a thing is normal in a new bike and it will get fixed in the first servicing. After the first servicing was over the needle had become even worse as it stuck to 80km/h speed mark. When pointed out i was told that the speedometer was faulty and that we will get the spare parts soon and give you a call.


I did not receive any call which wasn't surprising. I kept checking with pratham motors on a regular basis but no one paid any heed to my complaints. I went to the hero office and registered an official complaint in the complaint book. I still haven't heard from anyone.


It has been a ridiculous wait of more than 10 months and neither pratham motors nor the hero motorcorp has taken any steps to address the issue. Its a shame that a renowned and trusted name like hero shows such callous attitude towards its customers. I am a college going student and my reviews and recommendations, to my friends and colleagues, towards this issue would greatly depend on how this matter is handled.

I just love Karizma R although I have many accidents from this bike but then too I love riding it fast its giving mileage of 19km/lt in city n 23km/lt on highway.


As it is very low but I can manage coz I cannot find any other vehicle after this which suits me. I have removed mask from my bike now its looking like some damn exicting robot machine with lots of wiring in front :D


most exiting feature is the pick up.


0_60 in just 3.8 secs which is good for bikers.

VOLVO class amongst two wheelers section
Nov 05, 2012 04:05 PM 64381 Views

11th April 2012, The day when I bought this amazing machine. I have been using this bike since last  7 months and after realizing that I am very much satisfied with this bike I am writing down few lines about this beauty.


First of all when I started browsing for two wheelers 7 months back I was very confused which bike I should go for. But then after a lot of reviews, information gathering and analysis I came to a conclusion that I have to get this bike. You guys wont believe that I had never driven this bike before I purchased. Means I had no Karizma riding experience before I bought. I didn't even have a test ride of it. I was just impressed by the Company Hero Honda and the awesome looks of Karizma R.


After buying only I had a ride and OH MY GOD, it was simply amazing, it made me crazy and I was feeling as if I was traveling by a VOLVO bus.


First 2000 kms I never let the engine cross 4K RPM. Then slowly I started rising the speed and till now I have crossed only 90kmpl. Even at 80+ kmpl the engine sound is very smooth and no vibrations at all. The suspensions are really good and you get a feel of traveling in a Volvo Bus.


It has got a very nice riding position and you will not face any pain on long drive. There is an enough space for pillion rider as well and chain is fully covered. Overall two people can occupy the space with great comfort.


Awesome breaking system and good control on bike. You can ride without any issue in city traffic as well. Great wheels with finest grip with road surface. I am getting mileage of 37-42 kmpl depending on the driving.


If anyone is thinking of buying this bike and still confused, I would recommend them to go for it with closed eyes. Don't waste your time in checking other options. Karizma R is the best bike in 200+ CC category and no other bike can compete with it.


Thanks,


Siddhant


Suits both bachelors & married
Oct 07, 2012 07:19 PM 61956 Views

6th October 2012 , a very happy day for me. Many things pleased me except one or two . Karizma R suits both bachelors and married men very well , since the bike is not naked , seating position is also decent , got upright riding position which is good for the rider , got chain guard which is a must for our muddy road condition . I have seen women in pillion unsafe seating position , in other bikes.


One day before I was about to take zmr but I went late in the evening (southern motors nandanam) told me that they need atleast couple of hours to get the vehicle ready. So the next day would be easy  . I paid Rs.10000 as advance for zmr , they assured me delivery very next day. On 6th I went to the showroom as soon as they opened was about to take zmr black , selecting one out of two. Spotlight white karizma R was near me , I dont know what happened, I asked him wether its available , he said yes. I paid the full cash , Immediately they took the vehicle to connect battery , minor checks before handing over the bike . In the mean time they got the insurance ready, handed over bike , insurance original, toolkit, service book , first aid kit all together by couple of hour.


Really satisfied by their service . here I want to thank Mr.Ajay sales person Mr.Rajababu technician , all were good . Even though after making full cash payment , I got one yellow cloth and two key chains , nothing else , but still satisfied because an offer of 500 or 1000 in extra fitting is not going to come all the way . Instead they delivered the bike within a couple of hours with all what they have to give me , so saved my time , not in running up and down for toolkit one time, service book one time etc. So the first phase buying the vehicle is a total satisfactory one - Thank you SOUTHERN MOTORS NANDANAM . Hope everything goes well  , From my side I'll do my best to maintain the bike.

Good looking but very high maintenance
Aug 11, 2012 10:45 AM 49093 Views

I have Karizma R from last 3 years. It is good because of looking and Running but for mileage is very low and Maintenance also. The maintenance of Karizma R like a Car. The spare parts are also very costly.


If you want good looking bike, then I will suggest only Karizma R in Red colour.


Awesome machine, never disappoint and running 24*7
May 19, 2012 10:53 AM 43862 Views

I'm very glad and feel very proud. I love my beautiful and just loved it. I m using this bike last for 3 years. Now its running perfectly. That bikes engine is to good. Smoothness and never gone be tired that engine. So my thought no bikes compare to r its awesome for a long tour , , go karizma.


Awesome, I'm honest if you're not believing me so you also take a test drive and give your comments.


Karizma really rocks
Apr 23, 2012 04:21 PM 44420 Views

Karizma really rocks…. I am the proud owner of Karizma R from last 3 weeks.


Previously I owned Pulser 180, it was my dream machine before the purchase and it gave me very good performance for one year. Just after 20000+ KM my Pulser started giving me problem with the engine noise; the smoothness of the engine was missing at the time of driving so I sold my Pulser in just 2 year. At the time of selling I realize that Bajaj bikes have very low resell value and I have to sell it at the half of the price.


After selling the Pulser 180 I decided to buy Honda Unicorn, I took a test drive of my friend’s bike and realize that the bike is good but since I have driven the Pulser I am not satisfied with the power, Unicorn lack in power. So I decided to take the test drive of Yamaha Frazer and KARIZMA R, both the bikes are very good but when it’s come to durability and resale value KARIZMA R is on top.


Just 3 weeks before I got my KARIZMA R and till date I have crossed 1500 km …and I can say you guys it’s an awesome experience the bike is so stable that its tempt you to throttle the accelerator more and more as you can’t even realize that you are driving at high speed until you see the speedometer.


My suggestion to all guys who are eager to buys high end Indian bikes with budget less than one lac then go for Karizma R, its truly a value for money because this bike has everything power, stability, durability and cherry on cake is its resale value which is more than any other bikes. Today also a 3-4 year used Karizma cost you more then 55000.

A Question to my brothers.
Apr 11, 2012 07:49 AM 42625 Views

I want to pursue Karizma r. My focus is on long drives. Otherthan milage everything is pointing towards Karizma. Can I have a 45km/l mileage with a decent drive of around 80kmph? I am really satisfied with the reliability of HH as my father own HH glamour. He himself suggested me to go for Karizma.


I cannot afford the price of Karizma ZMR, It has great looks definitely better than Karizma R. Robust engine, steability on roads, less maintenes cost and the service centers in my city are the big factors to consider Karizma as my first Mate. Only confusion is with mileage.


I like crazy driving as well. However, It should be according to our needs, right? when we drag with someone, we are not looking on to the mileage. However, while munching highways, we will be more comfortable with a better mileage. I got a lot of information from mouthshut, so I am very faithful that Karizma will satisfy our needs.


Please reply my mouthsut bro’s.


Thanks in advance.


Hero Honda Karizma R
Jan 27, 2012 06:14 PM 88107 Views

Well I never thought that I would be writing this review on my bike as I am now loosing it! this was my birthday gift given by my dad in 2008. In fact I consider it as my best friend, till from starting to end it served me a lot and I cant forget it. that's Karizma R, after 3.5 successful years the time has arrived to sell this because of my brother, as im out of station from my home he wants to take YAMAHA R15 2.0 so for that sake dad wants to sell this bike. I want to describe this entire bike for all bike lovers and as well who wants to choose this, still its market has been amazing till now.


Karizma R: This is one of the bike under Indian sports category, its an 5 gear speed Bike with 225 CC 17.6 BHP got this at an price of 95, 000 rs on road(2008). at that time this was the only option for my dad at high-end Indian bikes. Actually this was the second version of Karizma. now present version is Karizma ZMR. For entire 3.5 years I have used 78, 500 KMS approx. Now I would like to give my entire experience on this ROAD KING bike. Here we go


Build, Looks & Colors: These three are important factors as they attract everybody at the first sight. Coming to the build of the bike the material used is very good indeed. It has got a heavy built tank with capacity of 15 liters and 2 liters reserve. Front part of the bike has stunning looks when compared to back side of the bike. I love the stickering part of the bike and its design hence I never modified my bike.coming to the looks it may fall behind of some bikes(may be now) but at the time of 2008 this was the only bike that has great sporty looks. Depending upon our taste we can choose different vibrant colour in this like Black, Red, Yellow, Blue & Silver. Overall for this section I can Rate 8/10.


Overall Performance: Talking about its performance, I can name it as a Road King! with its 225cc pick is really great. Coming from engine side there was low heat used to be produced and very minor issues during the 3.5 years. The best part was, bike dont get any kind of over vibration even if u are at a speed of 120-125 kmph.


Speed was the best thing is used to enjoy a lot with my bike. Mileage was the only thing that made me to disappoint all the time. I used to get an 32-34 kmpl in city and in highways 38-40 kmpl. I went long drives from Hyd to Wrngl for three times, it was a duration of 3 hrs continuous travelling(150kms) and all the three times it never let me down. its just perfect:) It never got any emergency repair because I used get it serviced at regular intervals. we can simply trust Hero Honda because the quality they provide is really great I never changed my tyres in the entire time. So with all aspects I can rate performance at 7/10.


Servicing:(Hyderabad) at the time of purchase they gave an first free servicing and 6 free book services. I finished all the servicing by 1.5 year itself, but talking about the service centers they should be really appreciated! just for a couple of times they troubled me due to festival occasions. the service was to be very good, they used to give good valuable suggestions what to do and what not to! the prices for the spare parts were used to be reasonable. Overall for Servicing 8/10


Competitors: Well in this category there are many competitors for Karizma R from other Bike manufactures, which I can mention like Bajaj Pulsar 220F, TVS APACHE RTR, Honda CBR 250, Yamaha R15, Karizma ZMR i can't judge all other but I simply say that Karizma R is just amazing for overall Sports Bike.


So Finally im going to miss this bike when I return to my home town. who ever wants to buy a bike under sports category I can suggest this with 8/10 recommendation. The best competitor for this Bike in all aspects is Bajaj Pulsar 220F with low cost and low fuel consumption. hope this review would help at least some thank you. pls rate and comment.

Hi frens this is DEV TANDON.


KARIZMA as the name itself describes it CHARM, APPEAL AND CHARISMATIC.I bought this machine 1 and a half years back. this bike has never disappointed me. I did many races n I must say that I have got the most powerful machine in its segment.i bought this bike on 29th April, 2010 n just after 3 days I made my first trip from " faizabad, UP to delhi- 700kms non stop. 15hrs ride in one day" and mined u it dint even had its first service.i also went to masoorie within two to three months after, n got n average of 40kmpl. the bike is awsum even on mountains. In speed  the bike always manages to reach 140km/hr.the bike is awsum. FALLEN IN LOVE WITH KARIZMA==.


The best part of it is that it roars less n gives an unexpected output. I give a ==damn= to those people who ever say anything against this bike. The bike has a better control than pulsar 220, (may be ZMR) n of course apache stands no where.


N really feel very sorry for those people who ask me that whats the average of this bike* I have an answer for them GO AND BETTER BUY A E-SCOOTER, = its been 1 and a half years since I have got this bike, the average has never fallen below 32kmpl(generally gives 36-38 kmpl in city) n it still manages to reach 135km/hr. its the quality that counts n not money.


I have explored  many places n the whole credit goes to this bike of mine "ITS THE ENIGMA OF RIDING THIS MACHINE WHICH MAKES ME TO DISCOVER THIS IMMENSE EARTH"


N lastly we should not forget. ITS THE KING THAT IS RULING INDIAN ROADS FROM PAST 10YEARS.


Chennai India
A True Road King.
Oct 18, 2011 09:19 PM 62447 Views

My Name is Sree. I am from Chennai,  TN. I recently purchased HH Karizma R (Black). It is a dream comes true for me personally. I gave a lot of thoughts about buying a bike for myself. For the past 3 years, we have a lot of Bikes coming in to India. Yamaha introduced R15, Fz etc; Bajaj introduced new variants in Pulsar, Honda's CBR250, Unicorn, etc. It was really tough to select. My friends gave me a lot of options but I was sure that I will not buy a Pulsar. No offense to Pulsar owners (you know the real truth). Simple guys, Pulsar are the only Bike that had many changes and upgrades for the past 2 yrs. I dont want to take a chance. More over I have a Black CBZ (2001 model) and still running in good condition. I know the durability of HH engine and its value. More important, you can get a HH spare parts any where in India. Expensive though. In the end, I bought Karizma R. It costs 88k in Chennai inclusive of all tax and extra charges.


Now about my Bike,


It has awesome looks. The ride height is lowered when compared to its prior release and it gives amazing position to ride the bike. That was the first thing that amazed me. I am 5'8. I always had a thought if this bike is going to give problems while riding. But it is awesome.


Good things: Amazing performance (223 CC), amazing comfort, amazing ride control.


Fuel consumption: You can’t expect 50 + KMPH for a 223 cc bike. However, it gives a mileage of 36 - 38 kmph in city. I have not taken it on the highways yet. I am okay with the mileage.


Top speed I have touched is 110 and it is said that the bike is capable of touching 140 with out any tuning. I didn’t try harder because it’s a new bike and don’t want to spoil it in its early stage.


Problems I had: I have a problem with the disc break and the rear one is not that effective. The mechanic from the HH service station said that he will fix it on the First service. I have driven 650 km so far and I am so happy to ride the bike.


Its heavy (150kg), but doesn’t sound like one when you ride.


Amazing bike guys, if you want to go for it just do it. Don’t have a second thought. I will post few pics at the earliest.


Regards,


Sree


6 months Ownership Review: TOO Many Problems
Sep 25, 2011 11:37 AM 34547 Views

I have a couple of words to say,


I have a new Name for your Brand. Instead of Hero Moto Corp, you could change it to SH** MOTO CORP.


Why SH** Moto Corp is not capable of servicing their products in the market?


Of course, the brand name itself suggests that the products are from SH** Moto Corp.


SH Moto Corp Products mean SH. What's there in SH to service? Thinking of Servicing SH?


Define SH** MOTO CORP?


A shop with All SH** products and a service which is more SHTIER than SH. Where Changing a nut takes one full day, and a servicing takes more than 8 FULL Days, which a road side mechanic could do it in one Hour.


What Does Hero Moto Corp do, ohh . sorry. SH** Moto Corp do?


Aah. they are here with their Joint Venture Father HONDA, and they started selling bikes, Now their Ambition is to defame their Fathers name for get a very SHtier name for SH Moto Corp.


What do the service centre guys of SH** Moto Corp DO?


They are here to service SH products. yeah. Servicing SH?


Why The hell do SH** Moto Corp sell the Extended warranty forcing the customers to take it?


Yeah. the times have changed. Now a days, even SH** Products should get official warranty for 3 years.


What do the regional Managers of SH** Moto Corp do?


Yeah. this is one of the tough Question.


They talk with the customers who own SH products manufactured by SH Moto Corp.


They  Try to soothe customers saying that the product is not SH**.


The managers Put all the possible effort to convince the customer saying that their product is is a GOOD SH. Yeah have you heard of GOOD SH?


Why the hell I am not using the Country's most Premium Vehicle which was bought by making a Down payment of 92+ Thousands of rupees?


Of course, the product that I own was manufactured by SH** Moto Corp.


The Bike is lying like SH** in my home. Occupying lot of space.


Total Loss after 6 months of ownership. 11350+/-


My Vehicle appearance and statistics.


My Bike is a very clean, neat Karizma R, bought on December 25 2010 from Srilakshmi Motors Hyderabad.


The vehicle is as it is, as the way they delivered it to me.


No Accidents, No dents, no Scratches,


Reported problems after six months of ownership.




  1. Fuses getting Conked off regularly, Nothing is working in the bike, except kick and brakes. No Lights, No Indicators, No Horn.




  2. Sound from Engine Noise, Cam Tensioner, cam Chain etc.




  3. All the fairings of the bike are completely broken. Front Mud Guard is broken at two places, Tank has Lost Paint in the corners, Side cowls are completely broken at more than 2 places. There are 4 pieces of cowls on this bike.




  4. Too Much of noise from the vehicle. bike is not stable.






Resolutions provided.


Only the second one was resolved, Rest of the problems are not being addressed. The resolution took 8 days.


Just to resolve the First two problems mentioned above, the service centre took 8 Whopping days.


The bike was in the showroom for 8 days.


First Innings of service.


Date: 27/8/2011 - 27/8/2011 Bill amount:      50


The Bike was making too Much of Noise.


No Electricals were working.


What Happened in HH Service Centre.


I was told that they would be able to fix up the problem with electrical only as it was a Saturday and I went during noon hours.


I have asked them to fix the electrical issue, so that I could use the lights and horn, which are the very basic ones.


Resolution Provided.


The problem was fixed, I was charged 50. I pulled the bike out of the show room.


The fuses were conked off again within 5 minutes of delivery, Back to the original Problem.


As I had other important appointments, so I moved on.


Second Innings of service.


Date 29/8/2011 -30/8/2011 Bill Amount:      950/-


This time, I got some attention, because I have escalated the complaint to the regional office to Mr Sharath( Mob: 04027604140)


Mr. Sharat, promised me that he would resolve all the problems that are in the bike, He also said that, the fairings are broken, for which he wouldn't be able to replace them under warranty.


I have asked him only one thing. When I bought the bike around 6 months ago, the bike was delivered with a faulty Handle and a partially broken indicator, which were bent, The Handle was replaced in the first servicing of the vehicle, which was done with in the first week of purchase date. The indicator was not changed. The service advisor told me that it wouldn't cover any warranty, so they won't be able to change it.


So when your Brand, HERO could deliver the bike with Faulty handles and broken indicators, there is no doubt that, you would deliver the bike with many other Faulty parts too.


My bike hasn't seen the ground till date, except that the rubber sticks to the road. The vehicle hasn't fell down till date.


I have only one concern, how could all the fairings of the bike were broken.


Mr. Sharat, got everything fixed up, the bill amount was 980 change of /- even though I didn't get the fairings, I was happy that my bike is coming home. He promised me that, the Cam tensioner work would take 15-20 min and he would get that repaired after couple of days, once they have all the spares handy.


Loss to Me.


One and a half Leave, worth 3000.


Auto Charges to and fro from the service centre.


Total Loss: 4500/-+ did OT in office


What Happened after service?


The bike came home after three days of rigorous work in HH Garage. We reached late night at around 8:30. had other important work in pune, so started to pune.


On Monday,  5/9/2011


I tried to use the self start, I could discover that no electrical are working.


Huh. I tried using Kick start, after struggling for half an hour or so, I could feel that the bike wouldn't start under any circumstances. so I had to leave to office an hour late, in a pissed off mood.


Third Innings of Service.


Date: 5/9/2011 - 7/9/2011 Bill Amount: 305


Problems:


Vehicle Broke down. Stalled at home after ridden only 5 KM after servicing.


No Electricals are working.


Pending Cam Tensioner change.


I called up Mr. Sharat and said him that I am facing the same issue again and asked for a resolution.


To My surprise, he was angry on me and he started shouting on me. I Ended up the call.


This is how Hero Moto Corp regional managers behave. they don't have enough guts to get the problems resolved, for which you have charged the customer.


3 days of time spent in the service centre to get the following parts changed.


Cam Tensioner. Cam Chain. Cam Shaft. Rocker or roller Arms which are placed in the head of the engine.


Total loss to me would be around 1800+ /-


What happened after service?


The bike was returned on 7/9/11, the bike ran for 10 days successfully, even though, the choke cable was not working fine, I have accepted it as the loss was in acceptable level.


On 17/11/2011 I was returning from office late night, and the fuses were blown out. I was stalled on the road with no lights, no horn, no indicators working. This shows your commitment to the service done.

Review of a Great Karizma bike.... Go and buy it!!
Jun 25, 2011 08:21 PM 21252 Views

Well, I own a Karizma  R since Dec 2008. One amazing bike! If you think too much about fuel economy, this is not the bike for you. Honestly speaking, mileage is 30-35. Looks are great. The best part is the good feeling you get when u zoom from 0-60 km in 3.8 s . Stand at any place and u deserve a second look.


Any girl sitting behind you will feel good. Personal experience.


Had a slightly hefty girl (read 60kgs) sit behind me once... and had to travel through Ghats. Karizma left behind the other bikes by a km on a 10 km stretch . Acceleration is top class. Three people on the bike and still u can touch 80 kmph easily.(not advisable to try this though!!!!) Honda engine quality is something u can always depend upon. For all guys who think of fuel efficiency, remember its quality riding and a little more expenditure on fuel is worth it.


Low maintenance though spares are a bit costly. Happy that I did the right choice though Pulsar 220 was another option. Pulsar guys are now unhappy after 2 years. Karizma Rocks!!

Just drive a P220 and Karizma, if u have girlfriends ask her what she like Karizma or P220...she is gonna say Karizma. If she say P220...dump her she is not a girl if you don't like the bike when u drive it?


It means you don't drive properly! Don't mind the mileage..coz if u can buy a bike for 90k..it means you don't have money problem anyway it gives you 35-40..depends on your maintenance its for those who wanna be kings on road.
