Hero Honda has boldly boosted the self image of the company with the introduction of New Karizma R 225cc Indian Sports bike.
This bike is the first of its kind in India and the company's flagship model.
Hero Honda Karizma Performance Review: Karizma has been rejuvenated with its new avatar - the Karizma racer edition 'R'.
When I took the bike for a test ride, I was simply amazed at its pickup.
The bike gave me a pure adrenalin rush when I twisted the throttle in the second gear.
The bike is claimed to give a mileage of 35 - 40 kmpl which is a bit low for the Indian market, but people who really love high powered bikes will not care much about the mileage.
The Looks of the Bike: Regarding looks, in my opinion, Karizma is the most majestic bike around.
The 5 spoke alloy wheels, the front flaring, dual tail lamps and a digital dash board are the highlights.
The bike comes in blue, yellow, black, silver and dark red.
In my opinion, yellow is the best one since it is the most head turning of all.
Final Verdict: Hero Honda Karizma is definitely a bike worth buying.
If you are buying a 150cc bike, wait for a few months, get more cash and go for the best bike in the market.
Even though the mileage is a little low, it makes up for the kind of respect that you will get for riding the most distinguished bike in India.
