    Model : Karizma

    The Karizma has come a long way since its inception back in 2003 and has catered to a mixed audience, some of whom are power hungry and then those who simply required a sweet combination of excitement with reasonable comfort. Deliver this the Hero flagship did, with charm, and over the years, the Karizma has seen a few cosmetic and engineering upgrades including a fully faired-in version named the ZMR, but the bike has, at its heart, remained more or less the same.

    This time around, Hero has made the Karizma more aggressive, tipping it closer towards a sportsbike. Can the new ZMR compete with today’s generation of uber-quick KTM Dukes, or the sporty CBR bikes from Honda?

    Let’s find out.
