Hero Honda ZMR: Test review, specs, price

Hero Honda ZMR

Is this just a modified Karizma? Not really. The engine gets fuel injection, a very minor hike in power and oil cooling. The body gets a full fairing, new tail etc and the instrumentation console is all digitial. The bike is much smoother to ride, quicker and more fuel efficient too. So, where does it lack? At an Ex-showroom price of Rs 97,000, there are other cheaper options in the market. But remember, this is a Hero Honda, and also India's best touring machine. Order one in white please! It might be the quickest, or the fastest locally produced bike, but we do have a soft corner for this bulky beast…
