Spy photos of a new full faired model from most likely Hero Moto..
Karizma was getting outdated.. therefore even a properly done cosmetic upgrade could provide new life to what was India's First Premium Sports motorcycle..
Autocar India has published spy photos of what looks like a full faired model from Hero Moto under test. Just as it happens most of the amateur blogs/sites are going over board with their speculations.
Some are speculating it to be a 250 cc engine, also it looks like there will be 2 different variants as one of the under test bikes don't sport a rear disc brake while the other does and also their respective exhaust silencer exhausts look similar to the ones on the current Karizma R and ZMR respectively. I am sure that someone will even speculate how much horse power the engine will make and also make a guess on its Price..!!
Take my words, it's absolutely useless to speculate till the model is officially unveiled or more photos emerge.
But from whatever is visible from the photos, the under heavily covered under test models definitely appear to be from Hero. More specifically the shape of the tank visible on one bike and the footpeg clamps visible on another one in the photos appear like the ones on the current Karizma R/ZMR models.
The presence of the conventional twin shock at the rear, the relatively thin rear tyre and the conventional looking exhaust silencer is a disappointment for some. But the raised rear and the lower set handlebars does make the under cover bike look sportier than the current Karizma R/ZMR. The ZMR according to me is an eyesore and it would be for the better for Hero if it replaces the model.
If these models are indeed replacements of the current Karizma R and Karizma ZMR, only an official unveiling would be able to confirm it. Also would there be an increase in performance or a totally new engine? Well honestly speaking, the common "desi" biker is least bothered about the bhp output of the current Karizma R/ZMR. All he would be interested would be a good looking design, a reliable engine and decent performance and yes "More Plastic" to fulfill his "Dhoom Machale" dreams.
So why upset the status quo..??
Personally to me the shape and proportions of the under test models look good and definitely sportier than the current Karizma models. The engine on the Karizma R/ZMR is already a proven and gem of a unit, it would be for the better if Hero doesn't mess around with what Honda has given them.
With competition launching aesthetically pleasing and modern styled models, the Karizma which was India's First Premium Sports bike (launched in 2003 and virtually remaining untouched) was slowly but definitely getting outdated. Therefore just getting the styling and packaging right would refresh the Karizma models for Hero. Hoping that the designer at Hero doesn't mess up this time like the last time they did with the Karizma ZMR.
