Tips for other riders
Do not use harsh braking simultaneously And ride the bike in the range of 60-70 or slow (depends on rider) Use brakes but control the bike almost using gears it will give good mileage & good performance you may experience it.

What's not to love Best mileage Top speed is equal to ktm rc 200 Comfortable as your bed .Just a little vibration in high speeds , numbs your hands within 2 hours.Speedy shifts and high acceleration are more than pulsar bikes . Engine is faithful and won't disappoint you in the worst situations.Hero,thanks.

Style: excellent in style and the design is too good.Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox: too smooth to shift. Ride quality & handling: very nice and safe drive.Final words: excellent bike, value for money, the bike has weight in the specification but you won't feel its heavy when you are on it. Its worth buying.Loved it. Areas of improvement: its the best. Pros: Power and style. Cons: Nothing to say bad about it..... I love trip with my zmr.

Cost of the bike was reasonable service intervals was low cost and mileage fetches me about 40kmpl in city and 45kmpl in highways.. But problems in this bikes is vibrations and rear indicators keeps getting break.. Cost of it is high and cost of disc pads is damn high.. I would expect some good model from hero motocorp make us feel Indian models are the best when compared other companies.. Please give your best don't make us fool by this kind of models.. You don't have any bikes xtreme is also flop model.. Get into competitive world hero motocorp.

Pathetic bike
6 years ago
Mustafa Contractor
This is the most pathetic bike. Parts are no genuine. I bought it in April 2015 from mahim hero centre, mumbai.. In first 20 days i found out the chassis was crack (wasn't it well tested?) anyways that might be a common thing. But, as for this bike.. Since 3 years i had fuel pump replaced almost 3 times and i had to import this part as they either don't have the part available or sell it 3 times the amount, and now my fuel injector is spoiled. I travelled whole city, visited all so called genuine hero parts dealers but no one has karizma zmr's fuel injectors which is unique, because of this my engine gets stops while running and i have to side and wait 15-20 mins to restarts or else it wont start. If its fully digitalised then there should had been battery backup power and double wiring. My battery broke once, thank god it was in city and i found a mechanic to replace a new battery immediately, but once on ghats my bike stopped, whole electric supply was off, i had to hire a tow truck to transport the bike to nearest service centre where they said whole wiring system was damaged due to short circuit and had to replace the whole wiring system. The amount of money i have spent in damaged parts i would had bought two bikes from that money. There is no petrol reserve indication also, 4 months after buying the left front white led went off. The back indicator breaks almost every month. No parts are available in the market, no front mirrors, no indicators, no led, nothing is available for this bike not even front rare mirrors which always gets jammed and when try to exert pressure to open the part breaks and mirror gets detached.. Replacement is of whole part, one led gone you have to replace the whole 2 led because its one piece. Even back-light red glass broken, no part of the same available and the replacement is of whole because it's one piece.

Omkar Dalvi
It is okay okay bike.. I have ridden it for 20,000 kms.. It was fun.. But now this bike has started coming up with minor problems.. Like loose fairing, mirror holder bolts are completely rusted they wont come out.. So i cannot change the whole mirror assembly. But the overall maintenance cost of zmr is less. Spares are cheap. Paint quality could have been better. I haven't changed tyres since 20k kms. Changed rear shocks.. Front shocks are also about to change. Chain also have been changed. Now it has become boring bike.

Don't purchase
8 years ago
Ravindra Singh
Style horribly designed. Hero should launch this model in 2005.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox mileage is good. As performance concerned feel like 150 cc bike.
Ride quality & handling handling is ok. Comfortable to ride 40-50 kms only.
Final words hero should leave the bike manufacturing for india. And make only cycle, moped and entry level bike etc. Purchased this bike in january 2015 and sold within 4 months.
Areas of improvement style, performance.
Pros
mileage
cons
style performance ride quality & handling

Style look it is very good, but some changes requied like rear wheel cover must be their.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox all ok just need to improve the quality of accelerator because is little hard.
Ride quality & handling riding experience is very good and handle is should be little small.
Final words good but company has to maintain the service part also because for long term customer relation, service is must. No availability of parts in any of service centres. Like mirror, caliber for front break, tail light, indicaters etc.
Areas of improvement company should improve the quality of accessories like seat cover (its damage in same week of purchase), battery should be powerfull, bike brake down many times (its never starrted with self), engine vibration is hectik, and availability of accessories must be in service centres (if its available in local bike repairing centre why not in hero motocorp.
Pros
looks good, fuel efficient, overall ok
cons
parts like horn, mirror is not ok, heavy vibration, battery prob.
