Hero Honda has been the highest seller of motorcycles in India and is known in smallest of the districts in India. Its offerings are not only economical in terms of price and running cost but are also extremely reliable in all sorts of road conditions.
Hero Honda was the first manufacture to introduce a powerful motorcycle which is Hero Honda Karizma and later other manufactures jumped into the race. Karizma is still in production and the brand also offers Hero Honda Karizma ZMR, which is an upgraded version of the former. It has been nearly one year since ZMR was launched and now the brand has launched a new face-lifted version of it.
So the upgraded version is the one with a couple of cosmetic changes important enough for the motorcycle to attract more sales and these include the following:
- Body coloured grab rail
- Body coloured RVMs
- Redesigned instrument console with a big ZMR logo
- Redesigned seat with a new material
- A modified exhaust
- White backlit speedometer
- New colours and graphics
Till date from the bike’s end the performance has been satisfactory and from the buyers’ end the response has been overwhelming and now with the newer version soon to be seen in the showrooms things are going to get more interesting.
