R U mad……………

See, A bike is said to be called as upgrade only if its grade has been increased, here nothing has happened as such……

Stickering, Colouring and adding some plastic here & there is not an upgrade b’cos this doesn’t improves anything, the speedo with matching body colour looks good but this doesn’t mean that bike enthusiast will go for it……..there are a lot of thing to improve……………….

To be frank, I expect the CC & BHP to be increased, to call a bike as upgrade…. a big example is PULSAR (150, 180, 200, 220 to be launched…) but this bajaj idiots don’t have any other design, other than pulsar so they are playing with it, but HH are mature enough to understandd that and they should launch an all new bike with new loooks and name, and that should be powerful…..

Ya by saying this I mean that CBZ-X is an improvement BUT BUT…………..thats not so big to say that every one should go for it , a mear 1.7 BHP doesn’t make so much of difference…

If thats the way you term as a new bike, then the new Suzuki Zeus should be called one, and not as a upgrade, and I can give you many such upgrades.

I stongly disargee with you views regarding calling this bike NEW,
Ok, there are the stickers slapped on it, but the general audience, includine me, would call it an Upgrade.

If there was no technology upgrade, then why such a fuss about it, by HH. A fuel injection bike, with performace figures better then the existing version was expected, but no, they gave us nuthin but stickers.

“New set of stripe” – can you elaborate what do you mean by this?

An of all the other features. that you say are first time in India, then lemme tel you thay arent. Cowl looks awkward, and coule have been connected to the fairing, but that should have been offered only with a performance upgrade. Body colour, key design etc are secondary things, or even tertiary thing that come into a true bikers mind. Thats what you do not look out in a bike uprgade, and one wont but a bike for that reasons.

And talkin about prics, tell me how much his might be costing the company? It would be a meagre amount compared the amount they have spent in creating the hype.

“One Indian manf, with better power, ...”
Well, I aint comparing and neither I’m a Pulsar addict, but the Pulsar 200, churns out, more power than the ZMA. Ok the engine isnt as good as the Honda, but had HH increased the specs of the bike, and raised the power to something to 20+bhp, then it would have definately been a true competitor to the Pulsar, and bikers like me, would have got more from these companies, through the competition. The customer is always the King.

Well Adish, if technological uprgades wern’t need then you still would have had HH, selling the same Splendour, with a same engine, in 15 variants, with Plus and Minus signs. (Thats an exageration).

Technological move the industry mate! thats because we always are in a quest to get something better everytime, but thisedition isnt a better tyhing to happen. Temm me cant an existing Zma owner carry out these upgrades, and claim it to be better? If a new ZMA owner strips the bike of the stickers and the cowl, then how can he assert the his bike is better the the old ones in terms of performace?

Think about it, Adish

Karizma is a beast with several first of its kind features:
• Added Under cowl to give a full cowl feel
• New set of stripe
• A few new body colour
• New look meter console
• Contemporary key design
• Painted side cover
• Mat Axis Grey painted engine
• ‘R’ being pronounced on the bike
• Black colour engine strengthening the sporty look

now so many upgrades at the same price is quite appreciable. also, when we talk about a technological upgrade, give me one indian manufactured bike with better throttle, engine power and looks. the handling is simply amazing and bike is rock solid and steady even at 135kmph.

just love the black matted 5 spoke wheels casts. dont know about you guys, buy anyone having flair for styling and appreciation for the best, would definitely term it as – The Beast
