Is It Like The OG Zma? | Hero Karizma XMR FAQ #7

Is the new Karizma XMR like the original Karizma? In a word, not even a little bit. Three things. First, the original Karizma's appeal was about it being larger in engine size, physical size and feel than everything else on the market. It felt substantial in a very appealing way. Today, not only is making a motorcycle larger than everything else in the volume segment impossible, the Karizma XMR is formatted as a sportsbike which means light and compact are essential to the XMR. Second, the Honda-developed Zma engine produced torque, with a relatively weak top end. It was this easy acceleration that defined the riding experience. The XMR is the literal opposite — not only is it's best performance past 7,000rpm, it thoroughly enjoys the revs too. Third, Hero's obviously kept the initial colours similar to the original but the full fairing -- good looking! -- is more like the bloaty ZMR than the stylish (for the time) ZMA.
