The New Karizma from Hero Honda portfolio will hit the Indian roads in about three months' time, but the craze has already set in. There are leaked photos in several websites, there is speculation on prize, but above all, bike enthusiasts are looking forward to some more cheer with their fingers crossed as the two-wheeler segment is already hot with the new Pulsar 220 DTSi, Apache RTR 180 and the Yamaha Fazer.
The New Karizma will hit the Indian roads after almost a decade, but this time it will show us in a complete makeover. That is what is at least expected as for quite a long time, Hero Honda did nothing with its flagship model-Karizma. People continue to have loyalty with the brand of Hero Honda as the brand speaks high on latest technology and unmatched performance.
Sneak peek into the new Honda Karizma....
And it reveals that it is expected to reflect not only stunning look but fiery performance as well. It is the new front fairing of Karizma that defines a style similar to that of Yamaha R15. The front headlamps are curved while the tail lamps consist of traditional bulb system. This sporty bike is equipped with perfect and comfortable ergonomics with a rear mudguard, a style taken from Honda Hunk. With changes in the rear cowl and front fairing, this street machine is expected to reflect a different style.
What's Hero Honda's new technology in Karizma 2009?
The Karizma 2009 will be equipped with new technology PGM-Fi and liquid-cooled 223cc engine so it is expected to deliver more torque and more power in this segment of motorcycles. To ensure safety and greater stability at top speed and peak power, new Karizma will be equipped with rear disc brakes. For long riding, the bike will sport inverted gas reservoir shock absorbers.
The hope is strong that Honda will launch its new Karizma without compromising on the touring characteristic of this bike. Again, this new fuel injection technology of new Karizma will ensure optimum fuel efficiency and greater mileage as the fuel is burned effectively without wastage.
However, all this will definitely come with a price tag. It is this speculation that is the buzz in the town of bike enthusiasts. It is expected that Honda will position this new Karizma in the range of Rs 1 lac. Beside this hefty price, it is expected that this new Karizma, another colt from Honda stable will be great fun to ride.
