Karizma PGM-Fi

Scoop: Brand New Fuel Injected Karizma PGM-Fi

Jul 09, 2009 in Hero Honda Motors, Scoop, Speculation Print This Post

---

Performance enthusiasts all over the country already had some fulfilling launches in the past few months in the likes of Apache RTR 180, Pulsar 220 DTSi, Yamaha Fazer and it seems like they have something more to cheer about, this time from (the least expected) Honda stables. After nearly half a decade, their flagship model, Karizma is all set to burn the roads in a new avatar and this time it promises to be not just another sticker upgrade! Karizma has symbolized the epitome of performance in its heydays and remains one of the finest bikes in India, still. Serious bikers can still vouch for the sheer fun and pleasure it is, riding this bike.

More Power

More Power: The new bike is expected to produce more power and more torque from the same 223 cc engine that has been doing a wonderful duty for all these years.

Revamped Front Fairing

Revamped Front Fairing: As clearly depicted in the pics, the bike would be a full faired stunner (second in India after Yamaha R15) with stylish new clear white indicators and stylish and curvier headlamps.

Mounted Rear View Mirror

Mounted Rear View Mirrors: The Rear view mirrors would be mounted on the fairing, but sadly, they look so traditional.

LED Tail Lamps

LED Tail Lamps: The bike would do away with the traditional bulbs system and would sport the much better and more efficient and upmarket LED Tail Lamps (probably similar to CBZ Extreme’s)

Rear Disc Brakes

Rear Disc Brakes: The bike would sport rear disc brakes for an even better braking of the bike.

Gas Reservoir shock Absorbers

Gas Reservoir shock Absorbers: The bike would now sport a set of inverted Gas Reservoir shock absorbers straight from its smaller sibling, the Hunk which would make the bike an even better one for long rides.

Liquid Cooling

Liquid Cooling: The bike would (in all probability) have a liquid cooled engine for an even better cooling of the engine and to null the effect of the lack of air because of the full fairing.

Fuel Injection

Fuel Injection: The bike would have the much touted and advanced PGM-Fi from Honda. PGM-Fi already does its job in smaller siblings of Karizma and it, sure would add to the overall character of the bike. Because of Fuel Injection, new Karizma is expected to have a bump in both power and mileage at the same time, along with a much better throttle response.

New Sticker job

New Sticker job: The bike gets a fresh new sticker work which works wonder to the overall looks of the bike.

Split Grab Rails

Split Grab Rails: The bike also gets a (rather non-matching) new set of split grab rails to enhance the ‘feel good’ factor of the bike.

Clip-ons

Clip-ons: The bike also gets a lovely set of clip-ons. As a result, the posture thus obtained is unmatched and perfect which could be called a mix of sporty and touring. Honda, for sure has sorted this out well.

'Charisma - The ability to influence without the use of logic.' That said, the new Hero Honda Karizma ZMR does that and more with grandeur, as Varad More found out...

Page 4 : How will it run?

Blasting past the back-roads in Haryana, I could sense the comfort and composed behaviour of a well-engineered motorcycle. Neatly tucked behind the visor of the new Karizma ZMR, there was no wind blast hitting the helmet and the relaxed yet sporty riding posture only added an inch on each side of the grin inside my helmet. There was something charming and telling about the new ZMR, especially after riding on a few broken roads it was evident that this bike can take it all, no matter what the riding conditions are.

The most striking change is the new multi-reflector headlight and incorporation of a full fairing a la superbike. The large state-of-the-art digital dials upfront are a welcome change over the old-school analogue instrument cluster seen on the earlier Karizma. The flashy part about the console is that the owner can feed a custom message of upto 60-odd characters in the right-hand side dial that will display the text each time the ignition is switched on.
