हीरो [2009-2014] करिज़्मा ZMR माइलेज

I bought my bike in feb of 2013. There were not many pieces available and i think that it was the last piece in stock, because after buying my bike i haven't seen a zmr in any of the retail outlet near by me. Buying experience was good dealer behavior was good and i got the bike with in a week after all finance formalities. I am using my zmr (passion red) for past 6 years done all timely service. To be honest this is an amazing bike. Apart from this bike r15 and cbr 250 was in my list but i selected this bike because of the mileage. Performance: you want power? you have it. You want speed? you have it. You want smoothness? you have it and you want mileage? you have it a lot. Its fun riding this bike. I love it. Looks depend on each person, anyway i like it than the new zmr(2016). I am getting around 47 kmpl for daily commute (city traffic + vacant roads) and 52 kmpl!!! for long rides. Its fantastic for a 223 cc bike. Long rides are smooth and painless.Cons: little vibrations and sound from the body plastics. Service cost is around 500 to 2500 for each service.

1. Customer service and after sale service is very good and they will call you up for service at timely intervals.

2. I don't know how and why hero engineers come up with such terrible designs and idea about their bikes, tough they tend to stick to make bikes to meet needs of customers on daily basis. Riding a zmr is always comfortable comfortable seats, comfortable riding position and the best part was 44kmph of mileage for a 225 cc bike, smooth at tow rpm and cranky at high rpm, bad headlamps and the big is heavy and small tyre radius.

3. Looks terrible, performance bad if you categorise it in the 200 segment, good if you categorise in the normal commuting segment. Good mileage as i earlier mentioned 44kmph in city and comfortable ride too. Headlamps are terrible very less visibility have complained about this quite a time. But you can always expect smooth ride but cranky at higher rpm.

4. Servicing is good, parts price is little high and zmr does have a problem with the oil pump but good thing is parts are available, the bike being heavy have good balance. Maintenance is ok not too high not too low.

Pros.

Good mileage

Good balance

Comfortable ride

Comfortable seating position

Cons.

Terrible design

Skinny tyres with respect to the size of the bike

Cranky at higher rpm

Stock mirrors are horrible

I loved this bike until its chassis broke into two while i was on my way to work. I'm glad i didn't die in the accident. Had to spend almost 20k in repairs. Heard that some others too had similar experiences(even rider dead in chassis broke-accidents). Performance wise, its good. Gives good mileage of around 45 in long rides. Doesn't need much regular services.
