Yuppie! New Karizma on cards!!! EDIT- Now Launched !! - Page 7 - Team-BHP

karizma_devil · 22nd September 2009, 12:53

Honestly speaking the bike looks disgusting in the pictures i have seen across the web.

HH - Grow up .. !!

Only good thing I see is the rear discs ! 0.6 BHP increase is a JOKE !

Fazer fed with 200+ CC engine would kill all competetion i feel.

TR of Fazer was wonderful.

Headlight looks like a it's a clean copy of the GS150's headlamp.

End product is not what the fans wanted but anyway much improved over the older model. I like it.

Ugly ugly...
Fairing and the rear cowls don't gel with the bike. The bike looks rather like a high quality Karol bagh hack job. The only saving grace is the rear disk and the speedo console. But performance of the bike will be clear only after a proper TR

AS of now, I'll stick to my karizma anyday..

Technocrat · 22nd September 2009, 14:18

Hmm I just checked some pics from xBhp which are posted Here

I like the new Speedo Console

akshay4587 · 22nd September 2009, 14:24

console is good and real time mileage indicator is a nice touch

jkdas · 22nd September 2009, 14:29

The display is good. Hope all those flairing wont rattle few 1000kms down the road. The rear should have been more meaty; maybe wider tyres should help with that issue at the cost of performance.

himanshugoswami · 22nd September 2009, 14:37

why persist with the puny tyres on an otherwise well proportioned bike makes no sense- and i dont buy the FE argument since the ZMA is not aimed at the "average kya hai" crowd in the first place.

Looks are not that bad, esp front on IMHO- just needs better tyres and more power. On current specs, the P220 looks a better buy.

akshay4587 · 22nd September 2009, 14:45

Why cribbing about tyres?
even R15 looks awkward with stock rubber,but most know how sticky they are.

aesthetics count for something at the end of the day......

What's that! Such a sad looking bike. Er, lousy would be a better word.

Cheers,

Couldn't agree more. I am now feeling i did the right thing by not waiting for the new Zma and went ahead with the purchase of the P220.

msvg · 22nd September 2009, 16:33

My personal opinion is that the oldie was much better than the newbie

Technocrat · 22nd September 2009, 16:48

Well both the oldie & newbie would be on sale so no worries

PatienceWins · 22nd September 2009, 18:37

I do not like the fairing. The speedo console is awesome.

The new features are great. It would have been good if there was an increase in power. I restrain my final verdit until I take a test drive.
