11th April 2012, The day when I bought this amazing machine. I have been using this bike since last 7 months and after realizing that I am very much satisfied with this bike I am writing down few lines about this beauty.
First of all when I started browsing for two wheelers 7 months back I was very confused which bike I should go for. But then after a lot of reviews, information gathering and analysis I came to a conclusion that I have to get this bike. You guys wont believe that I had never driven this bike before I purchased. Means I had no Karizma riding experience before I bought. I didnt even have a test ride of it. I was just impressed by the Company Hero Honda and the awesome looks of Karizma R.
After buying only I had a ride and OH MY GOD, it was simply amazing, it made me crazy and I was feeling as if I was traveling by a VOLVO bus.
First 2000 kms I never let the engine cross 4K RPM. Then slowly I started rising the speed and till now I have crossed only 90kmpl. Even at 80+ kmpl the engine sound is very smooth and no vibrations at all. The suspensions are really good and you get a feel of traveling in a Volvo Bus.
It has got a very nice riding position and you will not face any pain on long drive. There is an enough space for pillion rider as well and chain is fully covered. Overall two people can occupy the space with great comfort.
Awesome breaking system and good control on bike. You can ride without any issue in city traffic as well. Great wheels with finest grip with road surface. I am getting mileage of 37-42 kmpl depending on the driving.
If anyone is thinking of buying this bike and still confused, I would recommend them to go for it with closed eyes. Dont waste your time in checking other options. Karizma R is the best bike in 200+ CC category and no other bike can compete with it.
Thanks,
Siddhant
