I'm ready to spend 10 to 15k

Share the current condition of bike, including the list of know issues and areas that you are planning to repair / change. 15k is too little budget for a 'full restoration'

Passion is doing good. But a proper service in good hands will extend its life.

Since its almost 20 years wanted to see if it can given a new lease of life.

Do you have any contacts in Bengaluru ? It's TN registered and 2001 model. So cops will be eyeing when it's rode on city. Need to plan on bringing it to mechanic place. It's just bike for my short errands.

I'd suggest you keep the motorcycle the amount you've mentioned isn't much all things considered.

If performance is what you seek then get a Karizma engine and swap the cases as they're cross compatible. A used engine used to cost around 6~7k a few years ago in KL, I'm sure it would be cheaper up North.

My buddy owns one such motorcycle that was recently restored. She easily maxes out the stock CBZ's speedometer and that too while still on KL Roads. I do have a video but not sharing it in adherence to forum policy.

Also make sure to change the exhaust and Carburetor to that of the ZMA, you may save around 4k if you opt for a P220 carb instead of the ZMA's carb.

Here's a pic of my buddy's motorcycle;
