Hey, I bought KARIZMA around 2.5 months back... I posted the first review on Nov 9, 2006 :-) Now Im back after having driven the bike for 2.5 months... First of all KARIZMA is the best way to get noticed... People just love KARIZMA... Boys shout "thats a KARIZMA-BOY"... some say... "Ooh, look at that black bike"... Kids to oldies fall in love with the bike at first site :-) For me, the bike has been doing simply fantastic... No hassles... Just comfort, ride, power, speed...... Earlier, I used to think that I made the wrong choice... But today I feel very relieved and say to myself that I made right choice buying a KARIZMA... Most of my friends own PULSAR and all go went bad after 2 years of run... Im sure this bike will never let me down... I have covered around 1150kms so far... More to come later... I recommend this product 300%...

Hello, Im (21) a student.... Finally after much waiting (parents were reluctant on buying a for me) yesterday evening I got my bike from the Hero Honda Showroom.. It is..............ofcourse...... the same old KING "KARIZMA".... I chose the black colour of KARIZMA for myself... BLACK IS BEAUTY... I live in a small town (radius of which is not more than 8km)... Just in less than 24 hours I have made over 100kms... Trust me... my experience with the bike has been just fabulous so far!!! Hero Honda has really built a SUPERB machine for which HERO HONDA will be remembered by this product for a long time in the history of Indian bike manufacturing.... People give me attention... Girls eye me more than before now....Kidding :-) Im KING (not DON) of the road...he he... The handling is just amazing...thanks to the independent steering from the headlamp... Balance is just fantastic!!! Braking is also good... The best part is "PICKUP"... when I engage to gear 1... the bike just make me feel as it is saying "GO GO GO"... The engine noise becomes very lovely... when the bike is engaged to 5th gear... as all the horses are lined up together and ready to leave every tiny object far far behind... I will keep updating my review on this bike as the days pass on... At this point.. I really dont care for the fuel consumption... I just wanted performance.....speed......which this bike is giving to me..... As the bike is in running-in period I never exceeded more than 60kmph nor I will do so till I cross 1000km... When can I get the MAX performance out of my bike?? After 1st service? OR after 1000/2000km?? Then I will do my real test 0-60 in 3.8 secs.... ha ha ha...ALL IN ALL... A wonderful purchase... Im very happy with my bike... LONG LIVE KARIZMA!!! KARIZMA RULES!!! KARIZMA WINS!!! KARIZMA ROCKS THE NATION (YOUTH)!!!!KARIZMA IS A COMPLETE BIKE.. It has got all the features one could think of... Thanks to all for reading my review....P.S. If any suggestions as "how" to maintain a new bike.. please let me know... My 13 year old cousin calls it as "KASSATTA (Ice-Cream)" instead of KARIZMA...
