An eagle-eyed reader recently spotted two heavily camouflaged prototype bikes on a highway. We suspect these could be the upcoming 200cc motorcycles from Hero MotoCorp.



The bike maker is reportedly planning to resurrect the Karizma. Leaked patent images suggest a replacement for the Xtreme 200R could also be on the cards.



The first test mule seen in these images is a naked bike, which is probably the Xtreme 200R replacement. It has beefy tank shrouds, a digital instrument console, an upswept exhaust and alloy wheels with disc brakes at both ends.



The test bike in the front has a narrower tail section with a smaller LED tail lamp. If it is indeed the new Karizma, it should have a fairing in the front which, unfortunately, isn't visible in these images.



Both bikes are rumoured to be powered by a 200-210cc engine. The naked model could compete with the Apache RTR 2004V, while the Karizma is touted to take on the likes of the Pulsar 250, Dominar 250 and Gixxer 250.

One of them is clearly the Xtreme 160r. It could be the 4 valve model. The other one might be the bike with 200cc liquid cooled engine.
As mentioned by me earlier the 160r 4V will be the first one followed by Karizma launch.

Upcoming Hero Karizma XMR 210 caught testing

We shared a few images of what appeared to be the upcoming 200-210cc bikes from Hero MotoCorp a couple of days ago. Now, a new images have surfaced online that give us a better look at the next-gen Hero Karizma.



The video showcases a heavily camouflaged test mule. It's a fully-faired example with low-set handlebars offering a sporty riding position. The bike has a pointy front section with a short windscreen. Moving to the rear, the bike has a narrow tail section with a split seat and a short exhaust with a heat shield.



The Karizma test mule rides on alloy wheels with disc brakes at both ends. The bike might get upside-down fork suspension up front with a mono-shock at the rear.



Hero MotoCorp has filed a trademark for the 'Karizma XMR' nametag, which suggests that this could be the name given the upcoming model. It is also said that the bike could be powered by a new 210cc, liquid-cooled engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
