Design & Style Of 2011 New Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

In terms of looks the most visible change in ZMR in comparison to the Karizma R is heavy looking full front fairing with a lot of snazzy graphics with 'ZMR' stickers. Though it seems a little bit overworked and gives Karizma ZMR a plasticky look. The designers at Hero Honda 'R&D' must have been a fan of Suzuki Hayabusa!! As far as new features are concerned the New Karizma ZMR gets all new headlamps with integrated blinkers and new tail lamps which are now LED ones. The 2011 model of Karizma ZMR features body coloured rear view mirrors, new design for silencer and heat shield, body coloured split grab rail, blue back-lit instrument cluster, ZMR logo on the instrument cluster and all-new 'Vibrant Orange' shade.

The fit and finish is quite good, there are no panel gaps and paint quality is awesome. The rear view mirrors have been mounted on the front fairing a.k.a Yamaha R15, which is the best part of the facelift and it gives Karizma ZMR a very aggressive look if viewed from front. But the main problem is if you view the bike from side - the front doesn't gel with the slim looking rear. Hero Honda should have made the rear end a bit heavy to match it with the heavy front fairing. All in all, New Karizma ZMR looks much better than the outgoing model which started looking very outdated in comparison to the Yamaha R15, Bajaj Pulsar 220, TVS Apache RTR 180 & Honda CBF  Stunner Fi.
