Hero honda karizma r is better product was those times but definitely not now or now a days the market value for this bike is slightly slow downed if you are are very passionate about riding this bike?.you must keep updating the service regularly.there was when I purchased it for new that there were no handclips to this bike like other bikes has which would help in creating comfort ride to the riders.the brakers are also not firm it is good but not advanced compare to today’s bikes has.the very main thing is now a days all tires are tubeless or you can say bikes are running their tyres with tubeless this is tubeless era, where as this like wont has it.
