Project P 70 was the title given by Hero Honda to the development of Karizma. After months of speculation, it was finally launched amidst much fanfare. The bike is simply amazing. The engine is smooth and refined. The balance and handling of the bike is ’Excellent’. The bike refuses to misbehave at top speed and the braking is very good as well. The low torque means one can zip through traffic with the sligtest of throttle opening. The overall feel of the bike is positive. The new features like digital tripmeter, odometer and real time clock make the Karizma a great package and not to mention the terrific looks the bike has got. The black one looks great. Whats surprising is the fact the Hero Honda has de-tuned the engine so that it produces just 17 bhp.
