Well I drove Karizma a lot on the weekend, and wanted to post my review on Mouth shut but thought should wait for some more time and some more rides.
But thought should write and then will update again
Pros:
1. God like feeling on road (nothing can match absolutely nothing can match and even at 40 u will feel on the top of the world).
2. Road balance is superb, amazing.
3. I have not tested the speed gun as I have instructed not to at the moment but whatever little that I have done looks unbeatable.
4. Very good average (35) till now when I have driven 150km.
5. it’s so steady on the road that ones sitting on the back enjoy the ride in the same manner though cannot enjoy as much as I do.
6. Looks are g8 too.
7. Can drive Karizma at 40 to 45 even in fifth gear and engine doesn’t knock a bit.
Cons:
1. Start up problem in the morning and it’s very frustrating nothing works Kick as well as self, visited the workshop but still the problem exists.
2. When Engine heats up then also doesn’t start (though Karizma owners tell me that it’s brand new so it happens and with 1000km under its belt these miseries will evaporate).
3. May be you won’t feel the power as much as u feel while driving 180 cc pulsar but I was driving on palm beech road and a pulsar 180 overtook me and I just shifted the gears from 3rd to 4th and they could not catch me after that and I didn’t need to go in for 5th gear( though we were certainly not racing with each other).
4. Too many Karizma now days on the road so it’s no rarer bike feeling.
