- Pulsar 220 vs Karizma R 2014 - Comparison Review | MotorBeam
www.motorbeam.com/ puts the 2014 Hero Karizma R against the Bajaj Pulsar 220 to see which bike is the better bet. Both the Pulsar and Karizma have been fighting it out for a long time now but with Hero finally giving the ZMA an update, can it beat the established Pulsar 220?
Bajaj launched the current model Pulsar 220 in 2009 while Hero launched the current model Karizma R in 2014. A 5-year old bike taking on a brand mew machine? You will be surprised by the result.

The 220 is one of the best versatile machines in India. Stunning and sharp looks, excellent performance for the price-to-pay ratio. I still regret selling my 220 even though I myself currently own a Duke 390. The memories, the emotions with that machine, simply nothing can match. :)
No doubt the Pulsar 220 is fun but the Duke 390 is in another league. Watch out for our next video to see the Duke in action ;-)
Karizma wants to compete than increase to 250 cc machine than it can beats 220
heroooo plz make old model karizma All people like old karizma
Karizma to get an update soon.
when exactly? I saw the dual tone colors in Feb but they are not available
Hero engineer's work like ITI passed workers' they lost value of Karizma R which gave company some respect in public as they could at least have increased power 4-5 HP could have been an achievement for Hero's ITI workers' This downfall of Karizma R is due to company negligence & lack of passion towards such legendary bike
Shubhankar, what you say is true but the new Karizma's looks lack appeal.
Actually the back view of Karizma is very appealing,thanks to the fatter tires with open mudguard,the side views are also very appealing for the sharp & straight edges,it's only the front view that looks somewhat odd but that also only at daytimes,because at nights the dual headlamps with the glowing dual eyebrow LEDs makes even the front view enough attractive,so overall I don't think that Karizma is a bad looking bike & that's ok for me because I don't like Pulsar 220's design very much either,at least not any more because it's just become a very common design now a days,specially it's back view which is exact same for 3 series of pulsars,when things become very common then they just lost their attraction,in that sense at least the new Karizma looks different,striking.
SUBHANKAR KARMAKAR agreed but the front really ruins the styling, the old one was so much better.
Yes,there is no Denying about that,the old one's front design was ageless,a decade old design & people still loved that,a design which helped to make the zma a living legend,I was really hurt when they discontinued that model,yes I understand that hero is trying to modernize the zma's design by comparing it to the ebr 1190,but somewhere they figured it wrong,they were unable to give the dashing look of ebr 1190 to zma,at least in the front view,they couldn't catch that view properly,moreover they just couldn't feel the charm of the front view of their older zma,but still I heard that the present karizmas are just a part of the stop gap method untill the hx250 is launched,probably after that they will launch new karizmas with much better front,am I right ??the zma might be decade old & it might loss the charm of it's styling,but there is no denying that no other modern day bike can give that perfect balance among performance,comfort & reliability which the age old zma still provides,& that makes the zma a living legend,Karizma Always Game.
I just completed restoration of my 2007 Karizma r on my own and seriously 😍😍 its a masterpiece . Even after 14 years it easily touches 120 kmph without any struggle ❤️❤️ and engine refinement is to the next level 😉
Same ❤
Old karzma r is super look than 220
comfort too

Bro I have pulsar NS200
Is pulsar 220 a good option for city ride ... ???
If I have to choose,I will choose Karizma,yes Pulsar is slightly better in sports dept. but I have really doubt of the Cruising ability,smoothness & engine reliability of Pulsar,in all of this aspects Karizma had already proven himself from many years,Pulsar is still a great bike though,but it's only for sports lovers while the Karizma is for everyone,for sports lovers,cruising lovers & also for proven engine quality lovers

I am owner of karizma zmr Version 2...50000 kms. Without any complaints. Completed tour between agra and kolhapur via udaipur-baroda-mumbai in three days..it was unstoppable joy of riding...
This bike courage me to cover distance without any disturbance..
Salute to hero..for such type of refined and Solid products...
.
HERO ..DESH KI DHADKAN...
Yes Sreenath, 220 is good for the city, also consider the 200 NS.
I have heard that bike is a bit heavy.. so will it pose problem while handling in big traffic..
i had a 2010 p220.now its 64000km complete,but engine sound is great.now its want to replace timing chane after ride some kilometers.motorbeam,.p220 is good performence.really beast.good value for money
What mileage are you getting on your P220?
This is not the way everyone telling about karizma r v2 i own one it have more torque and better brakes than p220 and more reliable, smooth, long life engine
karizma is a best option for our daily use.....low maintanes and comfortable..
+Pandurang Nighot but it's dated now.
@@MotorBeam hrlrku5u
yehh
220f is legendary bike among all indian bikes
Pulsar is a mechanic choice, it's a 12 years of leadership bike. If pulsar is not a quality bike, it cannot own the trust of buyers, not only trust it's own the heart of buyers. That's why pulsar is still the most selling and favourite bike of India. PULSAR the name is enough
The Pulsar is high selling because of the 150 model which is the segment leader even today, in spite of not being updated for a long time now.
Hero as a good leadership team in India but not a pulsar is mileage bike
Hero is a top of the mileage
And 220 is ofter 3 years & 4 years mileage is down...
Not for hero karizma r v2 it's osm performance it's fuchar days. 👍
nice review motorbeam keep it up.....
Pulsar 220 I have two versions 220 Fi 2009 and 220f 2018
riden both bikes back to back and i own one karizma 2014 model as shown in the video....guyz tried and tested result opinion , karizma is very good bike..pulsar tend to vibrate more on high speed but this problem is not with karizma plus seats are very cushiony..the main draw back is that hero is not offering rear disc ... but overall its a very good bike ...i sold my 220 den i bought karizma r red in color...so both the bikes are good....but a karizma engine is very mature in power delivery...and love doing 120 130kmph on highways....... cheers
But the Karizma's design is so bad now.
Which bike suspension is better?
Exactly, its uncomfortable on pulsar in longer run. Karizma has a smooth long run.
@@mittar07 ya it's very smooth
Is the karizma r tubeless ?
Karizam Old hi best h bro
Which one is the Best for touring.. I really kindf like the looks of the karizma which can be modified a bit to look more alienetic
+Shashank Naidu neither!
Ok. Motorbeam Can u Plz Plz suggest few bikes preferably less than 150 kgs for a spine-friendly touring comfort.. I am 26, 5'9 , 65 kgs AND have ankylosing spondilytis which causes neck and back pain easily. And would mono-suspension be better than a dual for back issues..
(non heavy cus i cannot lift things that are too heavy)
+Shashank Naidu go fr a FZ V2.0
you can go for a vikrant bike
Back then reviewing a bike included whelies and stopies
which of the two is more refined at speeds of 100kmph???
Karizma.
Karizma
This is called legendary pulsar 220...how this name comes to this bike... Still ruling out... To competition..
Karizma no 1 bike
Really confused between the two..p220 and zmr 2014..Have test rode the p220f...Amazed by its pickup, performance, suspension and stability. Didnt quite like the ns. Will be test riding zmr next week, Based on the following factors which one would you advice :
1. Looks
2. Performance, maneuvarability and ease of riding in the city
3. Preferred for commuting(I ride around 10 kms daily)
4. Have to use it for 2 yrs
5. Starting trouble should not be present
(My dad says p220 has some starting problem and he opines that there should have been a kick. I have told him that these bikes have state of the art technology but he doesnt admit, may be your opinion shall convince him ! )
varad4441 in all honesty, I would suggest you wait for a couple of months and go for the Pulsar 200 SS.
Thank you :)
then which one will be best among pulsar 220 & karizma R ?
+sameer sam Pulsar 220.
220 is a best bike........:)
Overall karizma is best than 220.becoz 220 is stylish but not good.there ingine performence is down in next 2 to 3 year.bajaj use cheap parts in there bike.therewise bajaj bike makes highly maintnence.
Hi guys..You had made my decision of buying the p220 way too easier as I was confused between p220 n zmr 2014..:D So I bought it and my p220 reads 1250 on the odo now..It has been run-in quite well with gear shifts in the range of 3-4k rpm in the first 500 kms and then progressively increasing them to 5-6k rpm. Max Speed I rode it to was 75 kmph. The bike runs buttery smooth, no vibs while riding it properly with good gear shifts, has no starting trouble, accelerates pretty fast and is a pleasure to ride overall.I have a query though. When I try to max out gears ie. Increasing the throttle beyond 6k rpm in 1st/2nd gear the bike starts to vibrate a lot especially on the footpegs , near the tank(not the fairing vibration as found on many p220s) and also the front visor. It's sound also changes dramatically and sounds as if It's hurting the bike(This is the first bike I am riding so maybe I'm not used to that sound and havent rode any other bikes thoroughly as such ). Is this normal and should I rev it further to achieve the top speed or is there some fault in the machine ? Thanks and Regards...
PS : As I had to bring the bike from my hometown to pune, I changed it's engine oil on 250 kms itself as opposed to the 1000 kms recommended oil change. Refilled it with Bajaj 10000 semi synthetic 20w50 grade oil. So can this vibration thing be a problem due to the oil ? And If so Should I opt for MOTUL 5100 15w50 semi synthetic oil next time as it is the perfect oil for p220 recommended by many ardent pulsarmaniacs ?
Varad Vishwarupe firstly congratulations on your new bike which is also your first bike ;-)
The vibration issue is normal with new Pulsars, get it serviced and opt for fully synthetic oil, as you put in more kms, the engine will become smoother. Don't rev the nuts out of it just yet.
Thnx to bajaj launching best bike in India i love 220 fvrt bike he meri
220- pure masculine looks,raw power,projector headlamps,engine grunt,sheer performance.
What about Karizma.
Which is better
Zmr or 220 as performance..not by price
Pulsar 220 is a best.......:)
U can go with zmr... Karizma engibe is more refined engine
2019 anyone?
2020
karizma is better...
nd pulser is most accidental bike.....
Because idiots like you don't know how to handle a beast.
Karizma ZMR rocks ...
This is not a 2014 pulsar 220 , you showed a older one here :(
But it's the same bike.
What is the best webpage to scout used motorcycles in india?
jarmo tverin olx.in and quikr.in
i own pulsar 220f... and i can proudly say this is d best byk ever build by bajaj... atleast far better than zmr...
#motorbeam
i got 41kmpl avg
and till now my top speed was 138kmph
pulsar220f love dis byk man
suman karmakar that's good mileage for the performance and good performance for the price.
yup u r ryt.... love to see a full review on pulsar 220f..... as i dont found ny special one in youtube.....
Naa , karizma is still better , it has more torque and is delivered 1.5 k rpm earlier than the pulsar which gives it more punch , 220 feels sluggish in city traffic it needs to be continuously revved , karizma is quicker in 0 to 60 and just marginally slower than in 0 to 100. karizma also have better towing capacity so riding with a Pelion rider is just effort less , the karizma chassis frame with its engine being a stress member part gives bike better stiffens and mass distribution , while the cradle chassis in 220 is more suitable for chasing top end in long straight highway , and plz karizma instrument cluster is great simple but effective , 220 is just a fancy electronically twinkled bike , latest technology never means its better
+NAVNEET SINGH but look at the new Karizma, yikes!
+MotorBeam yes i agree , this isn't the prettiest looking bike design doesn't have flow in it , but it definitely look better than the rs 200
NAVNEET SINGH ,looks better than rs 200..? Wow 😂
Dikhneme 220 hai lekin bhagneme karizma hai yakin nahi heto chalake dekh
I'm confused between ns 200, cbr150 and zmr.. please help..

I was just waiting for dis
So which one is your choice?
Ofc who wld buy a piece of odly put in bulk wen d ever green ever charming 220??
Its quite obvious choice d 220
VITTAL S S that's right but for slightly more money, you get the fantastic 200 NS.
Karizma is best for rider
Legend is legend bhai...my self owner of Karizma r v2
Hi Motor Beam team!
Can you please suggest me, which one should i go with, Pulsor 180cc DTSi or Karizma ZMR?
Neither! Get the Apache.
Is there any update on when the 200ss will be releasing?
selvin blackmagician yes, later this month.
Orignal Karizma R was last hero by hero. Design wise new Karizma 3/10 compared to old Even if hero sold old model it would sell better Bajaj going strong with old design glad that I could get my old R before discontinued ✌️
Legends are like karizma 💀

is good madel in Indian rade
is my chasha
oppss, I didn't knew, that, so which is better between cbr150 or karizma zmr...
+nikhil dalvi CBR150R.
Thanksss.., Motorbeam:-)
I heard a lot that these bajaj bikes needs lots of maintenance especially after 10k,cheap materials used, don't have durability and all. is that true? and also what about vibrations especially in 200 NS and 200 RS? and how is re-sale value of bajaj bikes? can anybody clarify my doubts?
Manjunath K the issues you mention about Bajaj bikes is true for their older models but things have got much better now. Quality is good but not exceptional, there is a reason why KTM bikes cost more for the same performance, right?
200 NS has some vibrations but RS 200 has lesser vibrations thanks to improvement in refinement with the use of FI. Re-sale value is ok, not great.
Thanks team :) I am planning to buy 200rs. Hope for long run it will performs well..:)
Manjunath K make sure to run it in and opt for fully synthetic oil.
+MotorBeam KTM Bikes cost more for same performance because :-
1) When Duke 200 was launched its exshowroom cost was 1.17 L & Pulsar 200 was 85000 in delhi
2) The difference of 32 K was because of other costly things used in Duke.
3) The Duke comes with front WP suspension that costs 22K , Pulsar's front suspension costs 4400 INR. Means around 16 k difference in cost
4) Duke has Bosch F.I while Pulsar has a carburetor it makes price diff of around 10 k
5) Duke 200 has aluminum rear swing arm & fat MRF tyres which are costly than Pulsar 200 NS. So bajaj auto has not done any major compromise in engine components. The only compromise is use of SOHC engine instead of DOHC head of Duke 200 as bajaj had to use 3 spark plugs for better F.E
6) Both Duke 200 & Pulsar 200NS has common block-piston , connecting rod , crankshaft , L&R crank case , oil filter , water pump , radiator , counter balancer , engine bearings , clutch plates. Only head & Transmission are different. So there is no compromise in engine
+Manjunath K Both KTM Duke & Pulsar are made in chakan plant of bajaj auto in pune Maharashtra

A good comparo marred by poor video and audio editing... I am already a follower of Motorbeam website so no complaints on the content of the video...Coming to the bikes Pulsar has no obligations like Hero to use the same engine only upto 2018 so we can expect a retuned Pulsar 220 in the near future but a all new Karizma from Hero... You never know Hero might even scrap out Karizma if they can't bring a new replacement engine for it...
Poor editing? Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
As far as Hero goes, they can do anything to the Karizma and its engine, they are not restricted to make changes.

look MotorBeam,
this video tells that u have great riders but this can be made a more intresting one by including some ultra slow motion , good back ground music, pic quality ...... Look the PowerDrift, their videos look much intresting to be viewed . Any way, please make this channel frequently updated

New Karizma has lost the charm of the ZMA.
no quality in pulser engine ..bajaj engines are poor quality....
Which Pulsar?
Have done around 2 lakh kms on my 2008 pulsar 180, not faced a single issue with engine, and finally, any day, it can beat any of the similar offerings of hero..
Pulsar is trash bike.hero is hero.its reality pulsar engine is poor.
Though pulsar still sell like hot cake
great camparo..
2 questions
1) how s pulsar engine refinement?
2) are karizma spares still overpriced? like 2k for chain set if i recall correctly..
Thanks lalit nagrath
1) Yes, Pulsar's engine is refined but not as much as the Karizma's.
2) Prices have come down a bit but still not as cheap as Bajaj.

Sorry sir, but I don't agree with u, pulsar 150 is better then fz as my frnd have one fz and I find pulsar is better pickup and power than fz, yes handling of fz is good , and 180pulsar is better then apache 180, there is vibrate problem in apache , I ride apache 180 and found its vibrate too much
When you see the complete picture, quality, long term reliability, hardware, handling, ride quality, high speed stability, etc, the #FZ is better than the #Pulsar 150 which has aged a lot.
#Apache 180 is better than Pulsar 180 but yes there are too many vibrations.
