Karizma had always been my dream machine as i am a avid fan of sports touring bike. The day came when i finally got my 2012 black karizma r on my birthday as a surprise gift from my parents and within a few weeks i took the bike to my favorite hill station.

Karizma r has a jet fighter looks coupled with aerodynamically designed dome. The stylish fairing and the body graphics adds beauty to the bike and its bright red alloys are really attractive.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox

talking about engine, the 225cc motor is quite powerful in its class and its a refined and torquey engine that glides at high speeds easily and so making overtakes effortless even at high gears. I could easily drag my bike upto 140 kmph. However i could feel the vibrations after crossing 125kmph. The gearbox is so smooth like a hot knife running through butter. The lack of fuel injection doesn't have a big effect as i never have had starting problems with the carburetor even in cold conditions.

Ride quality & handling

coming upto the ride quality, i'll say its the best ergonomic sportz bike with a powerful engine. The seats are very comfortable for both the rider and the pillion. Unlike the r15 and pulsar 220, the karizma has a bit relaxed riding position and does not strain your body even after long hours of rides. While in the mountain, the bike was stable at curves and it really handles well when i threw my bike over the sharp hairpin bends. Even i was surprised by the punchy engine which doesn't hesitate while climbing up the steep mountains. The only defect i felt was the inadequate lighting during the pitch dark night but however i had fitted projector lamps for my bike.

Despite the absence of the rear disc brakes the retardation is pretty good as it has the largest front 276mm discs. But the presence of rear discs and pgm-fi would have made the bike a good deal.

Regardless of the powerful 225cc mill, the bike returned around 40kmpl as an average. I would say that its a pretty decent mileage considering the displacement of the engine. Thus this bike holds good both in maneuvering in the city traffic and also cruising in open highways as its motto says always cool, always ahead!!!

pros

excellent comfort, relaxed riding position, smooth gearbox, torquey engine

cons

inadequate headlight, no fuel injection, no rear disc brakes

It is a wonderful bike, but its pickup, style, and performance are too much, this bike is very low in maintenance, and its stability is long-lasting. My experience is this bike is value for money, because everything is in this bike. Style, look, performance, good pickup, good mileage, and handling is much better than another bike, a real beast.

Karizma is a Real Hero in Hero Motors not sure why they stopped Manufacturing
2 years ago
Anandraj
The bike was in high demand during 2012 but finally got from a direct dealer. To say about the bike there is no words stability, mileage, long rides, racing, pickup, maintenance cost all top notch. I'm using this for almost 10 year never had any trouble but since production stopped parts are high demand but still smooth as like new bike.

I revealed my dream of karizma. At that time my friend also looking for the bike he said to me that karizma will be discontinued soon and I was shocked. I saw some articles in news too. So I requested dad to book that one fast. It's price was 91000 at that time. I got a black 2013 model karizma R. It's an amazing motorcycle. It's almost more than 120000 km and still running smoothly. Actually I am a bike enthusiast, so I always maintain my bike like health. Now also I am using this beast for long and short rides.
Finally it's not about how many miles we covered.. It's all about how many miles we enjoyed.

first of all i have to tell you about my riding experience
riding a karizma is awesome..
mileage is superb 35plus is good for this category 223cc engine..
feel the engine eagerness when you rev the engine in 2nd and 3rd gear.
maintenance is not much higher if you change the engine oil,air filter after every 1000km..
this is the best bike ever in this category.

The bike was in high demand during 2012 but finally got from a direct dealer. To say about the bike there is no words stability, mileage, long rides, racing, pickup, maintenance cost all top notch. I'm using this for almost 10 year never had any trouble but since production stopped parts are high demand but still smooth as like new bike.

Karizma the beast
2 years ago
Sanjay Singh
It is wonderful bike, there pickup, style, performance are to much, this bike is very low in maintenance, and there stability is long lasting. My experience is this bike is value for money, because everything is in this bike. Style, look, performance, good pickup, good mileage and handling is much better to another bike, real beast.

Dream comes true

I revealed my dream of karizma. At that time my friend also looking for the bike he said to me that karizma will be discontinued soon and I was shocked. I saw some articles in news too. So I requested dad to book that one fast. It's price was 91000 at that time. I got a black 2013 model karizma R. It's an amazing motorcycle. It's almost more than 120000 km and still running smoothly. Actually I am a bike enthusiast, so I always maintain my bike like health. Now also I am using this beast for long and short rides.
Finally it's not about how many miles we covered.. It's all about how many miles we enjoyed.

Karizma the beats

It's an amazing bike, about style, look, power and performance are very good, it's first semi fairing bike in Indian motorcycle history there time. Hero, please relaunch this beats. Because present time many companies brought a cheap motorcycle.No quality, no stability, no long life,no value for money, only hero honda bike is my favourite.

karizma R 2011
4 years ago
Luke
first of all i have to tell you about my riding experience
riding a karizma is awesome..
mileage is superb 35plus is good for this category 223cc engine..
feel the engine eagerness when you rev the engine in 2nd and 3rd gear.
maintenance is not much higher if you change the engine oil,air filter after every 1000km..
this is the best bike ever in this category.
