Hero Honda Karizma ZMR FI

EXAfter months of speculation, finally Hero Honda is about to launch an upgraded and revamped version of it’s performance bike Karizma. But, the performance bike market is highly
The 223 cc engine of the new 2009 Karizma Fi produces an output poer of 21bhp which is more than the Karizma R which produced 17 bhp.The new Karizma Fi has not much change is the design and looks almost similar to the Karizma R and the new Hero Honda Karizma Fi provides comfort , superb refinement and great handlingto the user.
This new fuel injection technology gives better pickup and more mileage because the fuel is burned effectively without any wastage. Sources indicate that fuel Injected version of Hero Honda Karizma is not expected to sport features like rear disc brakes or Self Cancelling turn indicators. To make matters worse for Hero Honda, there is also an expected increase in the price of the already "pricey" carburetted version of the Karizma

Hold your breath, it doesn’t just look awesome, internals are also expected to be as fiery,

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: 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 Mirrors: The Rear view mirrors would be mounted on the fairing, but sadly, they look so traditional.
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: The bike would sport rear disc brakes for an even better braking of the bike.
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: 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: 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: The bike gets a fresh new sticker work which works wonder to the overall looks of the bike.
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: 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.

The TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike

TVS is also planning few upgrades of the Apache (180 and 200 cc).

TVS India is planning to launch their all-new Apache RTR 180cc bike for the Indian markets. The TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike is expected to be codenamed as the ‘Menace’ and will also load on the 180-cc engine that features a power rating of 17.3 PS beating the 223-cc Hero Honda Karizma, and also the Bajaj Pulsar 180cc.TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike will be in the sporty look as of the 3rd generation TVS Apache RTR 160cc, 0-60 km/hour timings, and digital speedometer with top speed.

Features of the TVS Apache RTR 180cc bike include:-
Petal-shaped disc brakes
- Bigger RTR sticker on the tank scoops
- Naked chain cover
- LED tail lamps
- Clip on handlebar
- White back light for the speedometer
- Service and battery indicator
- Feature to test the top speed and 0 - 60kmph timing on the digital display
- RTR 180 logo near the clip-on’s
- Wider 110/80-17 rear tyre

Design:
The bike will retain the basic lines of the current RTR, retaining the basic look of a naked sports bike. But with no front scoop this time. And for a good reason too, the front is now going to house a semi-full faring that will expose part of the engine and give it that naked bike look too.
The bike will have a digital speedometer with top speed, 0-60 timer, trips, and other extra functionality plus stunning looks.

Ride and Handling:
The current RTR handles like a charm with loads of feedback from both the front and rear end. TVS won’t make a mistake in the handling department, although the company is looking to keep the setup to a slightly sportier side. With front and rear disk brakes and a proposed mono-shock we have a new dream bike in development here. Rumours are that TVS might be going overboard with the weight distribution and balancing and we might have a surprise exhaust this time.
