Headlight -not tested,top speed,acceleration-not tested,wind blast-not tested, high speed crusing and rpm at 100kph-not tested.what have you tested then??
The original ZMR had that big buch look that no other bike at that time offered. This one looks modern and more in-line with r15 or gixxer. Although the price is absolutely bang on. Hope to see it recreate the magic that original zmr had.
That windscreen adjust-ability is like 2MP macro camera of our modern phones. Except that, we have exciting competitor in hand. Kudos to Hero for extracting class leading power figures from 210 cc engine! 👏 The heat tolerance and NVH levels need to be seen from full review. ✌
Having KARIZMA R Yellow with me since 13+ years with over 1L+ KMS, always amusing and same fella who drives me crazy! Never my mind thought to go with top/latest brands. I ❤ him pretty as much as my family ❤
The Karizma R was the first motorcycle I owned and learnt riding on. Still has a soft spot in my heart. Might actually buy this new one. I'll have to test ride it once it is launched in my city
Design is 10 on 10 it is getting hatred only because it is Hero... Some people has to come out from mindset that hero cannot produce good looking bike.. They are wrong it all started from xtreme 160r to xpulse 200, xoom scooter and so on...
That is the character of single DOHCs, you'll never find the Low end torque like long stroke low revving SOHCs unless companies make the engine super long stroke but then problem of engine knocking will be more prominent
@@subhajit1128dohc can be added with vva , but the cost will be high and engine will be more complex than it already is with vva . nobody gonna buy 3 lakh 155cc r15 . it is already like 2.5 lakh on road
I still remember the early Karizma ads that used to play on my cartoon channel Hrithik Roshan driving the legendary yellow Karizma and that dirt scenes ❤
I am pretty sure, Hero motocorp will definitely bring a premium variant of XMR like the rally kit addition of xpulse and definitely will make it a direct competitor for R15. They could have given a 14ltr instead of a 11ltr petrol tank.
I had a big doubt since ages, But got cleared Rishad bhai, Karizma is a cult, I would have liked if it was even continued today just like honda unicorn. But Unicorn is not just literally outdated handling, cushioning, The frame it uses, How its gonna react on fast highway when needed, And the competition other throws and the feel it gives You while riding. SO now i understand why A new karizma makes sense now. Hero never wanted to left behind in making conumer feel better while almost paying for the price of r15. Its better atleast in sheets but yamaha built , color, panels, does ages well, same goes with hero. ( Aspiring Motojournalist 😅)
The front forks bottoming out problem was prominent on the older Karizma as well, especially when you hit a pothole at high speed. Expected Hero to rectify this on the XMR
Yes HX 250R was my dream bike when I was in 12th standard but sadly they never launched that😭 I even remember XF3R and Hero Hastur 650 concepts 🥹 Upcoming TVS Apache RTR 310 features a design which is similar to Hero XF3r When will you launch them Hero 😭😭😭
An exceptionally beautiful bike. No doubt. I would love to own one in all black. Sure, the USD fork is missing. Everything else seems great and this bike is a very complete proposition. Imagine what this engine would do if Hero made a performance variant of this bike in the future? 30-35BHP?155KG? USD fork in and a few features here and there? I am very curious to see what this engine can do if it's maxed out. Hero should surely go ahead with a more expensive variant for this bike. They can further grab a pie of the market share.
I don't understand the obsession with exhaust sounds in India. I mean, I understand that the exhaust sound added to Bullet's character but Pulsar, CBZ, old Karizma, and other classics were never known for their exhaust notes. Personally, I feel for performance bikes exhaust sound is a kind of energy loss, which could be saved and added to the bike's power. Performance is about silently zipping away, not roaring out loud.
USD forks are not necessary. It is only required in a committed race bike where all the load shifts to front in a corner braking scenario and the USD helps to balance the load. One can enjoy Karizma with normal forks while not being too committed to racing. It 's a beautiful balanced sports tourer. I sincerely hope it sells like hot cakes!!!
So many auto journalists are now releasing their videos in 4k and clear sound. Here the audio is not so clear and the background music is so loud, I really had to keep my fingers on the volume up and down button. Hope you will take it as constructive feedback and work on this.
I was waiting for a budget friendly sports bike with 200-250 cc engine for a long time. And i finally bought a Bajaj F250 last year since it was the only budget friendly bike with so many features and 250 cc engine. But now Hero has launched this awesome bike outperforming bajaj & many other brands. Kudos to Hero for bringing such a nice bike in an affordable price compared to other bikes of this range.
How does it look in real? Should I buy this bike or the R15M? Performance doesn't matter too much to me; I know both are equally good. Just tell me which one looks better?
I don't think so or may be with a detuned tuning, because this engine is high revving and xpulse and off road bike should have healthy low and mid range , they are not ment for top range , engine character and overall bike character doesn't match up
Yeah it does.. especially at high RPM.. the rush of power makes it difficult to handle when you're revving the engine, need better tyres radials maybe. The tyres are tall there's no problem with grip but it doesn't inspire confidence.
Good from HERO..Good front looks mainly due to HEADLIGHTS,Side looks decent but I feel this bike is small and has low road presence..(Just my initial feeling haven't looked in physical so can't say much) REVIEW From an RC200 OWNER..💙
Ary bhai ekdm sahi baat h .. itna bekar design h headlight ka ki pucho mat .. poori gaadi ka look khraab kar diya h .. split headlight de dete to jabardast lagti ... gixxer m bhi headlight hi sabse bekar lagti h ... or iski to xoom or glamour ki utha kar laga di h 🥲🥲 .. side look bhut acha h .. tail light or seats bhi kaafi achi lag rhi hain .. lekin headlight m gobar kar diya h 😒😒
A quite good package.. With good looks as well. But hero being hero makes the suspension softer as expected 🤷♂️.. Rest is pretty good. Heor might get good sales
Gorgeous design i really like it. This bike should launch before 4months i would definitely buy without any though. Its has all features which r usefull in day to day life.
I can describe this motorcycle in one sentence: It's a very good looking motorcycle, but it's not a Karizma!! It could be named as Xtreme 210S or anything else, but not Karizma by any means. The prime point for this, it should not be less than 225cc, which hurts its legacy & sentiment. Because back then, Karizma was a high capacity motorcycle amongst the tiny 100cc or max 150ccs in the market. How could the new avatar comes with lesser capacity engine, even though it produces more power on paper; let alone the tiny fuel tank and not having a comfy pillion seat than it's predecessor. As a Karizma owner for decades, I know it was always a low and mid range performer, but not like this high revving avatar. Wish, Hero Motocorp could understood the emotion of the peoples with Karizma!!
Hero is clearly targeting young buyers looking for an alternative to the likes of R15. Seems like the og Karizma owners were never the target audience. And yes, Hero knows that no one will really consider this if they hadn't used the Karizma name. The modern Tata Safari is a similar case study.
@@faustinepimento298 yes, you have a fair point. They just used the name and nothing else related to the og Karizma. But the og Karizma deserves a real successor, not just carrying it's name only.
2003 : - I was 17. 2023 : - Now I'm 37 ( married, have kids, wife ) Its a nice college go gaters show-off, performance & features oriented motorcycle. Not a practical 1. There're different type of age group, shape & sizes oriented people out there, it's a XMR NOT KARIZMA / KARIZMA R / ZMR. They're all legend, well engineered masterpiece & team managements, as well great value. Now a days engineering team r management wants money not a solid true blue great overall m/c. RIP Authentic KARIZMA 225R ✍️ ⚰️
Apart from name nothing else resembles the legacy Karizma. Mine is black color Karizma R dec 2012 model and still going good. I will go for Classic Enfield or Harley Davidson X440 when my Karizma's registration expires in around 4 years.
Flaws in design 1. Swing arm (basic pipes) 2. Under belly (not in body color) 3. Front indicator (position) 4. Brand logo (looks like cheap sticker) 5. Headlight (subjective)
those who compaining about the headlight from Xoom Scoter just look at Aprilla motorcycles headlights and then look at Aprilla scoters and try to find the difference , just because its Indian we can choose whatever we need to
How is rs200 as compared to xmr & can we trust XMR as its first in its segment launched bike. Can This can cause problems as its first such bike launched by HERO. Are hero bikes reliable?

Finally a capable presenter who very comfortably narrated the story.
Can we expect a naked version with this engine?
If you haven’t tested it throughly why post the review ?? 😒
Headlight -not tested,top speed,acceleration-not tested,wind blast-not tested, high speed crusing and rpm at 100kph-not tested.what have you tested then??

zmr? bruh it was a flop bike you talkin about r?
@@hellostranger3836The flop was when v2 was launched. Not with v1.
@@borisfernandes9335 hmmm okay thik hai smjh gaya
Hero commited suicide with gen 2 Karizma 😂
I would still pick original zmr in white over this new one.
That windscreen adjust-ability is like 2MP macro camera of our modern phones. Except that, we have exciting competitor in hand. Kudos to Hero for extracting class leading power figures from 210 cc engine! 👏 The heat tolerance and NVH levels need to be seen from full review. ✌

I ❤ him pretty as much as my family ❤
I’d say a very good package 📦 offered by HERO in this ❤
Definitely buy
Support our Indian manufacturers if they doing good 👍 😊
I still remember the teal coloured karizma R that i saw in early 2000.
Undoubtedly the sexiest bike of the time.
Of all time
Karizma R was not sold in teal. You are talking about the 2003 model year, the OG Karizma. The R came after that.
they should have given teal option instead of the dark...the dark should have come later like a special edition red dark...
Yes teal blue or silver should be introduced
I was a CBZ rider and loved it to the core.
1st gen CBZ is a legendary machine.
They should return cbz classic with modern touch.
@@defence3355cb brand owned by Honda I guess
Cbz - XTREME 🔥
It should have a classic white colour option as it will looks stunning on this new bike
Most beautiful bike till date from Hero 🎉
I really liked the looks of the bike. Overall its a good package. Pricing is a Stellar. This time Hero nailed it 😊
The Karizma R was the first motorcycle I owned and learnt riding on. Still has a soft spot in my heart. Might actually buy this new one. I'll have to test ride it once it is launched in my city
India's first and original Sports bike ❤
Look wise it is indeed what the original Karizma should have become. I love it. I just wish it had grunty low and mid range.
Rode a CBZ till it had almost 98000 kms on its odometer! And then got. Red Karizma Z!! Memories!!
Design is 10 on 10 it is getting hatred only because it is Hero... Some people has to come out from mindset that hero cannot produce good looking bike.. They are wrong it all started from xtreme 160r to xpulse 200, xoom scooter and so on...
That is the character of single DOHCs, you'll never find the Low end torque like long stroke low revving SOHCs unless companies make the engine super long stroke but then problem of engine knocking will be more prominent
You're right, that's why yamaha didn't incorporate dohc in r15 v3 rather they went for vva.
@@subhajit1128dohc can be added with vva , but the cost will be high and engine will be more complex than it already is with vva . nobody gonna buy 3 lakh 155cc r15 . it is already like 2.5 lakh on road
@@whatdaftheydoinovader What you're trying to say?
@@subhajit1128he's trying to say you've to cut some cost as a manufacturer. India is price sensitive market.
Dohc aren't high revving,they are quick revving...but r15 has longer stroke nd still it is higher revving than xmr210
At 6:50, you'll notice something absolutely Desi 😂
Our 90's legend is back again with stunning looks and premium features with affordable price. Thank u hero motocorp for continuing the legacy❤
2003😂
I still remember the early Karizma ads that used to play on my cartoon channel
Hrithik Roshan driving the legendary yellow Karizma and that dirt scenes ❤
Few days ago, I saw completely restored old CBZ with Shiney spoke wheels.....that was one amazig sight😊
I am pretty sure, Hero motocorp will definitely bring a premium variant of XMR like the rally kit addition of xpulse and definitely will make it a direct competitor for R15. They could have given a 14ltr instead of a 11ltr petrol tank.
Hero went ahead and made the cbr which was missing in the indian market 😅
At last today, I started watching within 1 minute of uploading. Welcome back Legend.
Dream bike of every 90's kids like us🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Keeping aside nostalgia, this looks so much better than the old Karizma.
The front forks bottoming out problem was prominent on the older Karizma as well, especially when you hit a pothole at high speed. Expected Hero to rectify this on the XMR
First... I used to own a 2011 ZMR and this is extremely nostalgic for me.
Does anyone remember the HX250 btw?
Yes HX 250R was my dream bike when I was in 12th standard but sadly they never launched that😭
I even remember XF3R and Hero Hastur 650 concepts 🥹
Upcoming TVS Apache RTR 310 features a design which is similar to Hero XF3r
When will you launch them Hero 😭😭😭

Imagine having an RR200 and updated RS200, along with this XMR.
What wonderful day that would be for motorcycle enthusiasts. 🤞🏻🥳

Yeaaaah
Liquid Cooling is the biggest point here. At this price point liquid cooling with 25BHP power is steal deal. Also Hero products are very reliable 👍
USD forks are not necessary. It is only required in a committed race bike where all the load shifts to front in a corner braking scenario and the USD helps to balance the load. One can enjoy Karizma with normal forks while not being too committed to racing. It 's a beautiful balanced sports tourer. I sincerely hope it sells like hot cakes!!!
love at first sight on this motor bike .. exllnt looks love you karizma XMR 😘😘👌🏼👌🏼😘🥰❤️❤️😘🥰❤️
So many auto journalists are now releasing their videos in 4k and clear sound. Here the audio is not so clear and the background music is so loud, I really had to keep my fingers on the volume up and down button.
Hope you will take it as constructive feedback and work on this.
Hey AutoCar, thanks for the review .. also could you please remind Yamaha that they forgot launching the r3
It also has auto headlights with a sensor which you missed and it's the first ever feature in this lineup 🤞🔥🔥
Imagine that whole tail section in xtreme 160r that'd have been great!
That's great, since this is the flagship model for hero...new one will be great
Karizma is back..it will rule the market again
Loved this! Looking forward to a comparison between this and the F250!

Karizma R all time hero..Hero please bring it back
🚩✨Hero should now...focus on Adventure touring Bikes...🔥🚀
I am a karizma r owner I definitely say this bike has same soul at first glance, amazing hero
Haven't seen a brand new RS200 on road after covid yet 😂
Legends doesn't need introduction
Need a comparo between Gixxer SF 250 and Karizma XMR
Gixxer anyday better
If you don't care about after sales services.. Blindly go for gxxr250
It's nostalgia
But ppl need to understand one thing for how many long years do uh want the same old design?
How does it look in real? Should I buy this bike or the R15M? Performance doesn't matter too much to me; I know both are equally good. Just tell me which one looks better?
Go for R15 its more attractive 😊
My 1 st bike was karizma,, after all these years now I hope I'll buy this one
Not gonna lie it looks better than I expected...add usd forks and some lower handle bar its gonna look great
Acceleration? Top speed? Vibrations?
This bike looks sexy ❤ Should give competition a run for money
Is there any news that this engine would make into the Xpulse range?
My question too.
I don't think so or may be with a detuned tuning, because this engine is high revving and xpulse and off road bike should have healthy low and mid range , they are not ment for top range , engine character and overall bike character doesn't match up
I saw so many reviews but one think I noticed that no one mentioned it as a fantastic machine. I have a doubt now. 😊
Most awaited. ❤
Does it have the old hero vibration? Tell us more about engine properties
Yeah it does.. especially at high RPM.. the rush of power makes it difficult to handle when you're revving the engine, need better tyres radials maybe. The tyres are tall there's no problem with grip but it doesn't inspire confidence.
Of officially i am old .... every 90s kid's feeling
❤ Love It , Auto Car Genuine Reviewing Chanel ,❤
Good from HERO..Good front looks mainly due to HEADLIGHTS,Side looks decent but I feel this bike is small and has low road presence..(Just my initial feeling haven't looked in physical so can't say much)
REVIEW From an RC200 OWNER..💙
Great content, in an objective opinion, which one is a better choice the XMR 210 or the Zontes U200?
You don't ride on Karizma you just glide❤
❤😂 True...
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but whenever i look at the head lamps of the new Karizma XMR, it reminds me of Hero Xoom, lol

this headlamp is inspired from ninja 650@@AstrologerNikhil
Exactly! 😂

Liked his review.
My question is, will we get an Xpulse 210 based on this engine?
Background score source ? Hats off 👌🤘
A quite good package..
With good looks as well.
But hero being hero makes the suspension softer as expected 🤷♂️..
Rest is pretty good.
Heor might get good sales
Comfortable than R15 thats what i want, R15 very stressful, also i like stock exaust with loud sound in higher RPM
Gorgeous design i really like it. This bike should launch before 4months i would definitely buy without any though. Its has all features which r usefull in day to day life.
I guess Hero will soon release a ZMR version of this with the classic white, orange and grey variants.
Company should make Karisma adv bike. For older gen who loved it back then.
Looks awesome. Good power. Perfect price. 👍🏾
Great Work Hero

Hero is clearly targeting young buyers looking for an alternative to the likes of R15. Seems like the og Karizma owners were never the target audience. And yes, Hero knows that no one will really consider this if they hadn't used the Karizma name. The modern Tata Safari is a similar case study.
@@faustinepimento298 yes, you have a fair point. They just used the name and nothing else related to the og Karizma. But the og Karizma deserves a real successor, not just carrying it's name only.
This can be a game changer!
Support to our indian brand and karizma always king
If it comes with front USD,will be much better although it looks nice to me than old gen ZMR.Hero must hire premium designer for there upcoming bikes.
If compared with Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 which will be better option to buy?
2003 : - I was 17.
2023 : - Now I'm 37 ( married, have kids, wife )
Its a nice college go gaters show-off, performance & features oriented motorcycle.
Not a practical 1.
There're different type of age group, shape & sizes oriented people out there, it's a XMR
NOT KARIZMA / KARIZMA R / ZMR.
They're all legend, well engineered masterpiece & team managements, as well great value.
Now a days engineering team r management wants money not a solid true blue great overall m/c.

Dil churaliya is bike ne❤❤❤❤😊
Can I consider this as my first college bike, or stick to the formula of Pulsars or R15?? Open to share ur thoughts 👍👇
Sure but gotta watch out for mileage. 25 bhp means 30 to 40kmpl ballpark
Maybe avoid the first batch?
First college bike. Get a job first 😂. Who is buying it for you? Ask them 😂
Apart from name nothing else resembles the legacy Karizma. Mine is black color Karizma R dec 2012 model and still going good. I will go for Classic Enfield or Harley Davidson X440 when my Karizma's registration expires in around 4 years.
Side and Back Views: 👌
Front View: Thik hai bhai aab main chalta hu... 🙃
That back seat is ridiculously high!
Other than that, its a nice looking bike
Flaws in design
1. Swing arm (basic pipes)
2. Under belly (not in body color)
3. Front indicator (position)
4. Brand logo (looks like cheap sticker)
5. Headlight (subjective)
those who compaining about the headlight from Xoom Scoter just look at Aprilla motorcycles headlights and then look at Aprilla scoters and try to find the difference , just because its Indian we can choose whatever we need to
I wish they had offered a semi faired version like bajaj did with AS 200 with a more upright riding posture
I literally thought you’ve designed KARMA IS BACK in that thumbnail🤦🏻♂️
Waited long for this bike
I would buy it just for the good old yellow color ...but miss the teal colored karizMa R
In my opinion, right successor of older karizma R would have been Karizma adv sport ( just like tiger 660).
How is rs200 as compared to xmr & can we trust XMR as its first in its segment launched bike. Can This can cause problems as its first such bike launched by HERO. Are hero bikes reliable?
Karisma r brings back memories
Indian two wheeler market growing
Side profile looks 💯💯💯
Without Honda now Hero is really back 👏
❤Nice Hero powerful xmr
Your review is completely ironical compared to Varun painter review at powerdrift
Does the windscreen vibrates while riding? Since it has that adjustable feature
