After watching the performance reports, max output and quality, atlast I bought Hero Honda Karizma ZMA. I know there are many who is confused like me before they are going to buy a new motorcycle in India.

This report will help you I think.

I will take factors about Power, Brilliance of engineering, Reliability, and above all - the real on-road Performance ..

Note:All the figures referred here are taken from the OVERDRIVE magzine-September-07. So there is no reason to doubt the credibility of the figures.

Again,according to the OverDrive test report, KZMA still outscore the P220 in the refinement stakes,especially past 6000 rpm. Every bike enthusiasts will admit that the quality and refinement of KZMA engine/gearbox is impeccable,especially evident if you over cook the engine. Now - you decide !

It Sound’s like dreams coming true ? I got news from a Honda local dealer, that Honda 599cc motorcycle coming to Calcutta on 18th July 2007 at a showroom named Kushan honda ( near Baguihati ) at Kolkata for display and “MAY BE SELL”  !!  Are you serious ? Or again it is only will be used for DISPLAY, so, they can attract people attention to buy other Honda Bikes ?!

Will keep you updated…. Keep checking…
