Hero Karizma XMR Review | Is It REALLY Worth The HYPE? | BikeWale

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

What do you think about the new #HeroKarizmaXMR? Will you buy it over the #YamahaR15 and the #KTMRC200? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

[@Simply_Sanju]

Design is 10 on 10 it is getting hatred only because it is Hero... Some people has to come out from mindset that hero cannot produce good looking bike.. They are wrong it all started from xtreme 160r to xpulse 200, xoom scooter and so on...

[@uvuvwevwevweossaswithglasses]

You my man are a man of culture and sensibility

[@TBPoficial]

Absolutely... Front is similar like ninja 400 ❤❤

[@Mohd53000]

Great point mentioned. Xtreme and Xpulse both are great bike TBH

[@suneetkumar1545]

You are wrong bro ,, it all started in early 2000 when hero launched CBZ and Karizma

[@arshadahmed955]

Hero achi bike bnata raha hai Hero CBZ , passion , Karizma R , Ignitor saari hit bike rahi hai ...

[@bhagathsp1]

I was the proud owner of Karizma R of 2013. Inspite listening to lot of people that Hero lost its charm after parting with Honda, lot suggested to go with pulsar 220f. But my heart was always pounding to select for Karizma. It was an amazing experience for 5 years with it. Refined, cheap to maintain, comfort to ride. It is still used by my one of my contact with sealed engine which nearly crossed 90000. If hero kept the same strategy on this XMR, then this will be the best motorcycle. Yet another legend from hero. Its not just speed or features i look, the feel, the heart of the toy. I still want to go with karizma above those 2 if i have the choice as I have already using bigger machine now. Hope i may get hold of this karizma soon.

[@kamilsaifi7974]

I've also been riding Karizma r for more than a decade and now I think it's time to upgrade with this new one... This bike is a part of my family

[@flashkingster3132]

Highly time for TVS to upgrade their 200cc engine, i am happy that karizmas legacy is being carried out, but it's characteristics has been changed, which is nominal because of the current market situation and trends back then was a different story. I am heavily excited for TVS to launch their newly developed 200cc bike with 6 gears, thus matching the duke series

[@Livfeed1]

I don't like R15 because it suits to tapori bikers because it's design is also tapori type. But now the karizma makes sense to gentle and smart bikers.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We don’t think the R15 caters to the riders that you mentioned. It’s a very good looking and appealing motorcycles. That said, the Karizma XMR is a good option too.

[@anand.chaudhari]

​@@BikeWaleOfficialR15 design n pillion rider position is pure chhapri fyi

[@jarvisstart4159]

@@BikeWaleOfficialyep it’s chapri

[@samwitwicky1811]

People expecting USD on this bike. Does it really matter considering it's a 200 cc bike with merely 163 Kg weight? I think USD are overrated for small capacity machines.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Not overrated, but it definitely isn’t a dealbreaker.

[@kakashiyt4739]

​@@BikeWaleOfficial❤

[@rohitraghavan7552]

If the Gixxer and the r15 had a chikd, this would be it. Good job Hero. Good luck.

[@chinmoykalita5959]

The design of the 2003 to 2013 Karizma (not the ZMR) was some next level stuff. The looks of the latest model is nothing when compared to the 1st gen. I wish Hero relaunched it as a less expensive version.

[@jubin2611]

the first gen was a gem no flaws in its design they had drawbacks like narrow tires and a commuterish handlebar the new version is good looking bike except its headlight.....hero totally messed up it

[@chinmoykalita5959]

They have used the same headlight from Xoom

[@abhimanyu-co.]

150cc bike like R15 cannot be compared with 210cc bike Karizma XMR. Different creatures cannot be compared. Karizma is the King 👑. I owned Karizma R and it is truly best ever motorcycle ridden on Indian roads ❤

[@HarishSarpal]

Thanks for come back hero 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay 👍🏼

[@anupamtheboss4536]

The Main USP of the Origanal Hero Honda Karizma Back in the Day was Being "Hatke" some thing Different , a Big 223cc Engine Fared Bike when everybody else was Riding little 95 to 100cc Bikes. The Old Karizma was different from all the other bikes , that's why people dreamed about it. But Now In 2023, present times, Every body is having a 160 to 250cc bike. Its like owning a 100cc bike back in the day, Nothing special. Having a dual channel ABS, Fared, Liquid cooled engine , top speed of about 140kmph has just have become the basic Necessity that people Expect and is absolutely Normal.. so by launching a 210cc bike in 2023 in a segment where there is a sea of Other 200cc Motorcycle around, all competing with Each Other, does not make the Karizma XMR stand out from the crowd and thereby continue its legacy. Hero should have given at Least a 250 to 300+cc engine with a Minimum of 30 to 35ps. Price should not have been a Concern for Hero because Karizma was always a premium Brand and people wont hesitate to pay that extra buck...

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

Bang on. They should have used X440 engine with different tuning. Karizma should have neutral comfortable ergonomics with tube handle bars instead of clip on and unibody seat. The looks should have been inspired from Suzuki Bandit, Fazer etc.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

@@SurajSinghTomarAryaThe X440 uses a long-stroke motor, which isn’t suited for a sports tourer like Karizma. It’s not to possible use the 440cc engine and change its tuning for the Karizma. The sport tourer segment warrants a new engine.

[@hellostranger3836]

hero has tried to target the middle and above middle class riders. The thing which u r talking about always comes with a risk whether people will buy it or not. and i guess if this turns out to be successful hero is gonna surely upgrade this and xpulse to higher cc

[@astiksaini7]

thank you @ceo hero motocorp for advice 😂😂

[@chinmoykalita5959]

[@motosyncr]

I guess it’s time now for me to get over Karizma because I was expecting more … I booked this one as well but I may not get it this time. My Karizma happy memories are secured with R and ZMR. It is really hard and emotional for me to say goodbye to someone you love so much but I guess that's how life is you need to move on. Hero has done a superb job with the new Karizma and I Wish all the best to New Gen Karizma Owner Always Game Jet Set Go !!

[@mnaresh9254]

New Karizma is amazing but nothing can beat the og Karizma R. Still a proud owner of 2006 Karizma. Why move on bro? Bike looks nice and specs also are nice. Maybe we should wait for the pro variant or the bigger capacity version of this bike.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We’d suggest you to ride the motorcycle before making the decision!

Whats ur opinion. To sale 2011 karizma R and buy this XMR. Is it good

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

It is very good. Do take a test ride and decide.

[@tjey379]

The old Karishma was not that good looking to me but this one , I like, I just don't like fairings so fingers crossed for the new Hunk.

[@ZKEntertainments]

Front led is not good in look, if it hides then the look will change totally and will give it more sporty look.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay 👍🏼

[@sridharrao6864]

Surely better than Pulsar 200cc, but i would still go with Yam..

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Ok 👍🏼

[@AnonymousPirate98]

2 Corrections- 1. Top speed will be much higher than 130 more like 140-145 2. It's not a good upgrade from 150cc, It's a good beginner bike tho.

[@neilnair6089]

1. We managed to see 130 on the display during our test. The bike could do a higher speed. 2. It IS an upgrade from a 150cc. Not an R15 but surely a 150cc commuter. Hope this helps.

[@AnonymousPirate98]

@@neilnair6089 You will easily Outride this bike and Most people get 200s as their first bike after getting experience from their parents bikes I think if you already own a 150cc bike it's better to go with bikes like RR310,RTR310 or 350s maybe 390s as well

[@AnonymousPirate98]

This has similar power as Duke 200 and NS200 , So would you suggest those bikes to people who already own 150cc bikes?

Sir do u think Hero should also have offered some special discount of say 5000 for those who will exchange their old karizma to buy this new karizma like me ?? Hero must also reward the karizma loyalists because we are the ones who have kept the brand alive for these many years after discontinuation.

[@neel3297]

6:48. It also looks like a Pulsar especially the back side. If you are upgrading from 150, I would straight go to Triumph 400. I wonder if Suzuki are able to sell any SF250s

To keep costs in check. Also, it isn’t a dealbreaker.

[@pratik.jaiswar]

@@BikeWaleOfficial The reason why I'm so critical about it is because I own a Karizma R, precisely in yellow. 1.7L for a 200cc bike sure sounds like cost cutting (sarcasm). This will never be the Karizma it once was in terms of pricing.
