Spied : New Hero Honda Karizma!!

The competition is the two wheeler segment is intense these days. With Bajaj upping the ante with the new Pulsar 220 DTSi which not only is faster but considerably cheaper, upgraded Pulsar 180 and 150 and TVS’s new Apache RTR 180, Hero Honda is feeling the heat in the premium motorcycle segment.
Auto Bild July edition has published a spy pic of what is believed to be the test mule of the new Hero Honda Karizma which should be out in the market soon.

The changes this time arent just restricted to some new stickers and colored springs. According to the article the new Karizma sports all new front fairing, new side and tail pieces and a ‘hunk’ like rear mudguard. Additionally it also gets a disc brake at the rear, gas charged rear shock absorbers and possibly Fuel Injection with increased power and torque.
The stance remains the same as the old Karizma which is still considered to be the best touring bike in India with smooth, refined and relaxed Honda engine at the helm.

what am i surprised to see here again is that hero honda again are giving just the stickering and new colours karizma, nothing new on its engine and specs part which are yet to reveal, this might be the bajaj's new pulsars effect to new karizma.

The words below are from the same magazine, i sourced it from here

Some people said, there is no new Karizma coming. Some said they saw spy photos somewhere and it was sure to be released in the Indian markets to EAT AWAY the competing bikes such as R15 and the New Pulsar 220. No more doubts… we are going to have a winner. Three bikes in a row… sparkling white… words cannot describe its beauty. Amazing

It seems to read ZMR PGM-Fi. Hmm! Some new technology or just a gimmick of English alphabets? Only time can answer

hmmm. new karizma looks good. specialy white makes it look quite unique from other bikes. but why only little change in the tail section and fuel tank? hope they got something new on the engine side as well.
