Hero has killed the legend.....older Karizma is still my pick of the lot
How abt today dude…😂 xmr 2023 has come
@@nik15834 Appreciate u r love for karizma….Bcoz of such comments 6 yrs back…Hero considered bringing back Karizma with much needed omph😎
Lol came back here after the recent launch.....look what they have done to it.....I just shed a tear xd
We want our old Karizma having same fairing but with tweaked power and liquid cooling...😌😌😌
Hero is designing bikes like a kid draws bikes on the last page of a book!
He draws better.
Very true very true. Worst design from any brands!
My Karizma 1st gen is still going strong after 12 years 😎
The first 1min 15 secs can start selling old Karizmas again :)
just like honda brought back honda unicorn right
The HeartBrokenBiker yeyy bro.. early days of youtube.. haa..you feels like a celeb. now.. :D
The HeartBrokenBiker agree
We want Old model of Karizma R
He'll yeah
Kya bike tha yaar
Never forget dz beast
Karizma r is a emotion
Really miss those days
Really wanted to buy the previous model of this bike back den bt didnt hav enough money n now wen i hav the money the bike has been discontinued my life is miserable :(
Same
I bought it luckily when they relaunched it in white color
I miss the old karizma 😭
A few of the team members had the Karizma and guess what? They miss it too!
Lightning Struck ! Yeah 😣
first karizma is awesome n i miss it
I bought this bike a week back! Bike is amazing while driving, driving comfort is very good.... I rather go with new karizma then old pulsar!!
You still have it buddy?
RIP
A decade too late...Amen! The older one should've been the facelift actually. This bike joins the family of Libero, the weired dual eye old Fazer, Freedom Prima..and maybe the Fiero.
nochet2211 even new fazer is going into this list lol
"Give it some time bro, it will grow on you" This was the biggest joke on karizma after 6 years in 2020
its still not growing on me.....
OMG.........Sagar transformed faster than Smirti Irani in reverse :V
+Himanshu Sawant Cough Cough!
As usual, nice review. The first gen Karizma was a SBK for me, as a teenager. This bike, though doesn't look good from any angle, but would sell in large numbers. Seems the most practical- poser for Kids, cruiser for adults.
Best thing is the prices are kept unaltered. In my town, ZMA R is priced less than P220 :O .
6 years passed still it hasn't grow up to me 😔
Hero people plz wake up...n stop using photoshop for designing...stop hurting our feelings by giving us blunder designs like the zmr and new karizma...plz thts a request
Photoshop is still a sophisticated software, i feel they use Ms Paint 😜
I couldnt understand why so many ppl are complng abt the luks of the bike.. yes itz not so pretty wen compd to 2008 model ,agreed..but comparing thz one wth 2003 model !!! I think itz ridiculousss.. 2003 model was best lukng machine of tat age,no need to drag it in this modern era wch witnessed naked concept to full faired one.. I think thz karizma model is a safe bet ..
You guys make superb videos, am talking timelapse and the visual rhetoric of the phenomenal cinematography. Looks like, you guys did not leave any stone unturned. Wonderful, I feel like just keep staring at the videos: the setting, the slow zoom close-ups, the soothing soundtrack and the makeover! Speechless. Praiseworthy effort, guys: from shot-division to editing and sound mixing :) wish you luck and popularity in days to come, spick and span quality
You Sir can knee down on almost anything can't you? :)
+lonewolf Legend says, he started off on his tricycle!
+PowerDrift haha lol
+PowerDrift Does the old 2003 model karizma have more refined engine as compared to new karizma R
I don't know why there's so much of negative impression on this upgrade! This bike looks pretty good when you see it on the road! The pictures did deceive me when it was released last october! Give it some time guys, it will definitely grow on you!
Man u absolutely wright even me also i thought its look bad (watching in net preview) but in road its look like super bike..
Ya i too have one it is a good bike
@PowerDrift oye!! I did not know you had done Karizma R's review... I wanted to request you guys for the same... happy to see this review... My Karizma R will complete 6 years! in 7 days... I love it more than anything!! I still remember... my rich friend bought it after we passed 10th std in 2005, He came to my place to show off. He offered me a ride and that was the first time I crossed 100kmph mark.. After requesting dad for years finally when I got campus selected he bought it for me in final year engineering!! I recollected all this after watching this video.. PD.. you guys are the best !!
Glad to hear your story Rishiraj :) Ride safe!
its a need more than a requirement so kindly suggest , specially any mechanic in pune.
Karizma if gone for cosmetic upgrade..the should have change the front shock absorbers ,infact they hve tried to hide it with the fairing... they look really thin nd skinny if compared to "r15,fzs,pulsar 180,220"....nd for that the bumps on the road..make rattle to the arm lyk hell..Though the clipon bar looks cool,which looks bizarre with the combination of the small puny tank on karizma..karizma shoud have upgraded the tank ...The front fairing is jst to make the bike look big.Though this is a good tecnique adopted by Hero to fulfillment of obsession of full faired bike lovers .front huge wind protecter protects the rider from getting wind blast ..
One thing I hve noticed that improved is the bigger rear tyre...but that same tyre's are also used in pulsar 180 mrf zapper 120/80×17..which actually skids a lot..
If Hero is facing slags from fans for adopting new engine's they should have done the cosmetic upgrades for good!!! I mean a completely new redesigned chassis,bigger fuel tank,new tecy instrument cluster. Bigger 40mm front forks..old good karizma v1 seatswith with more cushion,stickier wet tyres wider tyres for good grip......full chain Guard...daytym led/projectors.. V2 rear looks good......Nd PowerDrift plz make karizma zmrv2 vs pulsar 220 comparison review..."the battle of the Once"
0:08 wish I could ride that too, the scooter ofcourse 😄
Put old design with 250cc it will be killer
Woah! I'm here 9 years after launching of the new XMR but powerdrift was ahead of it's time for sure........
I was in 8th standard far far away from internet connection 😂
Awesome looking bike with 223 cc of raw power 0to 60 km in 3.6 seconds 19.2 bhp,stunning meter console ,front telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and rear swing arm with 5 step adjustable type hydraulic shock absorber 15 litre fuel tank capacity multi functional digital analogue console ,tubeless tyres , DUAL Dynamic headlamps and led position lamps , sporty winkers and led tail lamp . Wider rear tubeless tyres -120/80x18-62P Its not just a bike that stuns people with its looks .Its a Mean Machine with an engine that throws a raw 19.2bhp capable to taking you to every imaginable place ............KARIZMA R PREMIUM SPORTS ALWAYS GAME foreover. Plus Best Value for Money bike in 223 cc segment if you compare the price in 150 to 180 cc segment
Keep Going Hero Thanks to the power hike, the 0-60 km/h acceleration time has reduced from 3.8 seconds to 3.6 seconds
Usually power drift review sets my heart racing. Even the machine they review sets my heart racing.But not this review, but i think this has more to do with the bike being reviewed, as the new karizma r doesn't impress much. So guys pls stop being hard on PD, as honestly i feel that new karizma doesn't deserve a typical PD review, like that of duke 390.
PD review of duke 390 made me buy that bike, and trust me many of my friends bought 390 because of your review(Bajaj ktm owes you money). Thank god this review wasn't good enough for PD standards or retards like me will buy this bike.
Spot on review...I'm impressed...I'll folow powerdrift from now onwards..and as far as the bike is concerned, if you don't wanna spend anything above 1.5 lakhs (CBR 250) then at around 1.1 lakhs this is still a pretty decent Tourer...it will be stupid if people compare it with the P200NS coz that's a naked street fighter...and the R15 is a track performance oriented bike..for comfortable touring, this is still a good option if not the best one...
completely agree with you... long rides on this are pleasant and you can do 80-90kmph continuosly on highways... no vibes and stable at those speeds
please also review the Apache RTR 180 , because bike like them deserve a review.
Jitna baar ye video dekhta hu, naya karizma dekhke bohut dukh hota hai 🙁.
If they had continued with the old model, i had plans to buy it, but then this upgrade came 🙍
John hero company bewakoof hai pulsar company smart hogai hai hero karizma zmr sirf 0 to 100 Good chalti hai but old karizma 0 to 100 same to new karizma zmr but 100 to 150 very good without vibration and more power full I love my karizma 225 2007 model
Nice review. But, can't say the same about the bike.
Yet, there is the positive point that the bike has now gotten few interesting body parts.
I just brought this bike..the bike looks ugly..but in my mind it is beautiful because of that engine it is faster....not smoother than previous version because of the compression ratio..in highways it can reach above 145 kmph FASTER THAN ANY BIKES IN THAT PRICE SEGMENT......
I've been wanting since long time whether Karizma R is tubeless or not. Powerdrift can you guys please lemme know that...? I've called the customer service and they say since this bike is discontinued, they don't have no information, and none of my friends have this bike, and i have even checked other Karizma R's video on TH-cam ,but none aren't replying to my comment... so please do reply.
It had tubeless tyres!
PowerDrift thanks for the reply...💕
You can upgrade to tubeless. Orignal tyres were normal tubed tyres. You can upgrade them. Mine already clocked more than 1 lakh kms and still in awesome shape.
Hero motocorp Engineers died while making Hero HX 250 and Hero Hastur !! Tribute to their 6 years late anniversary
Itl seriously grow on u... give it some time , the bike is new in styling but definitely not ugly, wen u ride it you feel like your riding a higher end bike, built quality is good, doesnt feel cheap...your knees lock into the bike perfectly...ànd feels crisp
It didnt grow upon indian bikers.... sorry hero but its very ugly.....
Love my karizma r ... wish it relaunch
i have own oct 2014 model till date run like new .seriously i have driven 4-5 hours ,,no lack of power.one of the best machine for long trips..
Same i have done 130000 kms
Sorry powerdrift,,,bt fr the first tym i hv unliked a video f urs...no problem with the review..i just dun like the bike..its simple yucks for me..i ll better ride rx100 thn evn sit as a pillion on this bike....hero please grow up yar..nd sorry fr th unlike fellas....thz bike didnt suit my taste..:|
- Did you even go through the video before giving an unlike?? I bet not
Yes i did....
Tony Stark - Den you should have liked the vid as the verdict is what u expect
rahulgosh1 its simple for me..i didnt like the bike ...so i didnt like the video...simple as that
Tony Stark The like/dislike buttons are for the video, not for the product. PD have produced/edited a great looking video & a critical review, disliking that isn't fair, leaving a comment stating your opinion on the bike is all you need to do ^_^ Peace !
When will Hero, Bajaj etc start making twin cylinder motorbikes, with higher displacements? 400cc, 600cc, 900cc? It's 2014 people. We shouldn't be spending 10 lakhs to own a liter class bike.
indian roads are not ready to accommodate dickhead riders riding Liter class bike....we have had enough of reckless riding in pulsar 220 and apaches for example....so liter class bikes should be out reach of general public who think they own the road just as they own the bike.
There was a time when power drift use to make videos like this
Miss my old karizma r the orginal one...The refinement, power,economy on it still beats most bikes today..Why did they stop it:(
They have tried but failed...in looks its like a they have borrowed from china bikes styling
Tarun Reddy Yes, true.
Hey team :) u r awesome as usual...
Plz review hero splendour pro classic...i just spotted it today...m not intrested in buying but just wanna see its review from your end...thanks, keep ur awesomeness n levels high as usual :)
sandy saini Hey Sandy, we shall try and get that covered! :)
Ohkk thanks team :)
Heroes will be remembered.. Legends never dies...
#Legend
KARIZMA R v1😘😘😥😢😢
Such a fantastic bike that one was!
We need Karizma R old version
@3:29: Dingu needs a fresh set of gloves. He needs to take it easy :P
On a serious note, you wouldn't want to get caught cornering on a Karizma. Besides that the bike feels more disfigured than the ZMR and the front fairing is probably the culprit. Too bad the Karizma loyalists will have to skip this one or switch...
classy cinematography as always.... How did u make that jump in the beginning?? the incline on the road (if any) was far behind the spot you landed the bike.. or did i miss something?
Old is gold.... karizma r old model my fav touristtt bike
thxx and i confused which bike i buy or what about hero ignitor because in my opinion the bike is best but every word of your channel is correct and right i hope you can made a video on hero ignitor
I would still buy a 3rd hand karizma... not that i dont like hero has done to the karizma... but it aint growing in me.... well cut video... nice review... flying off the road... hoo thats a first...hats off guys...
The earlier version of Karizma was much better in looks, the new one looks like they picked up bits and pieces from here and there and launched it just for the name sake.
Not even grabbing the attention as ZMR did. They could have done much better.
Most west product by hero motocorp.it is only a set of fiber which add on over one which makes its so weak and vibrate lots.chain are also makes lot of noise.
I like the video...but I didn't liked the bike...How about a dog fight between the new zmr and the p220f? That would be great
Yeah.....will be waiting for it
Arpit Handa gadu bajaj pura copy hai
It does 100kph! That must have been a hell of a down hill run with one hell of a strong tail wind and a slip stream behind something big!
Finally came here after seeing the powerdrift videos.. Addicted to PowerDrift...
misssing those days and original karizma 😭😭😍 i wish I could own one of these 😭😭
damn that bike my.father had it now he is missing it
Short & sweet! Thoroughly enjoying the old videos, too.
where did you get that windshield
shourya bhardwaj JV Promoto, Mumbai. Message them, they'll have it shipped. It's lovely!
2022 watching it.. 😜.. Old kids
Karizma is not "the first performance 4 stroke bike above 150cc", Pulsar 180 classic was...
Planning to buy it now the 2014 model is costing 35k in second hand market in ts
ok pd army and folks here , is there a chance that karizma zma will take the rear disk brake , swing arm, suspension and every thing else from new karizma , i love my karizma and will never part with it but i need a rear disk
please dont say dont screw with oem setup... its a need more than a requirement so kindly suggest , specially any mechanic in hyderabad area .
Done merely about 178,000+ kms on my Karizma R in just 5 years.. Have a lot of experiences in long tours so I know how well my bike can keep up on highways.. Confused between Nina 300 vs Hyosung GT250r or ktm rc390
Shaan Sundar Those are some odo numbers! :) Since touring is your thing, none of the above mentioned bikes satisfy your need.
PowerDrift if touring is concerned... We indians are always in favour of Royal Enfield....
Can karizma R beat the Yamaha Rx 135 5 speed?
Dissappointed by POWERDRIFT for the first time...
Review of ZMR was a must tooo...
I expected a comparison with 220 tooo....
Pls do something about it !!!
***** yaar abhi toh 150r ka review dedo :P Iss saal naye colors aayenge shaayad :P
***** Thanks and I'll be waiting for it guys...
(R vs ZMR vs 220)
:D
***** bhai if you can tell me where you'd like one, i can arrange a 150R owner to lend it to you for a day's review :P
NIDHIN MOHAN P If BHP ,does matter to bikes most..then zmr twins will loose against P220..
***** Really dissapointed from u guys....lst tym like this many users from youtube wanted a review of continental gt review..but u guys took a calender to make the review really happen.....The GT review was good...Seriously why u guys r taking so long time to make this type of simple videos....I can arrange new vrsn zmr and p220 ...I can arrange zmr nd p220 for ur review if u guys want !!!!plz let me know....
the review is true. Spoke my mind out the upgrades compared to bajaj's pulsar ns 200, cs 400, ss etc... this does not may any impact much on the people.. hero better concentrate the design more .
When wil be review of pulsar ss, cs etc be done ?
Thanks., in advance....
PD: pole khulne ki liye aap no 1 ho...OMG full of Neg impressions on zma r....Hero is under 7ft..
Bike look perfomence good but when see design its not better old karizma.
I will still wating old karizma r relaunch
I had karizma R old model it was LEGEND among all
now a days all gone worst..
Need proper upgradation. specially back tail n wiser...
This video should be renamed as "Death of a Legend"
With the upgrade in power and torque, it would be really interesting to see where the Karizma stands w.r.t the 220F
guys appreciate the makers of the video ..truely awesome compared to the foreign makers
ravi kiran Thank you :)
PowerDrift hi brop, i want to buy a karizma r seconds. iam 6ft 2 in height with 95 kgs.do u think it can provide me comfort in city
haha its funny how they look at little toy bikes as if they are litre sportbikes.
its does a decent job in the context of indian market and trafic where every thing is much chaotic. view it like this way
european 600cc= indian/ asian 200cc
european 1000cc= indian/asian 400 cc
you can overtake 90% of vechiles with 200 cc and 75% with 150 and can fully rev it which is more enjoyable and safe.
furthermore its much more enjoyable to ride a 300 cc motor bike in asia than 1000cc bcz of the full maximize user performance input of the bike in small displacement bikes than of 1000 cc. if you are to ride a 1000 cc in this type of road , you will et bored after 3000 km and you are at higher risk of crash in these markets.
Its like 4years i have this bike, and yes it has grown on me, i had to choose between 200ns and this, i took zma and not disappointed. Low services charges fuel economy is good around 35, i also had 1 accident but still decided to repair it and its 90k kM. Problems are rear indicator and mud from rear side. But i do touring with heavy luggage and it kills it top speed is around 135km on gps meter was around 140 so happy with this bike but, now its time to modify it.
why there is no crash guard for Karizma bike for a long time? what are the pros and cons of crash guards.
+dileep se The name itself shall give you a clear idea on what its meant for. ;)
Looks sick. I would rather buy the old one again if available.
do u recommend to replace da old version?? with this??!! IN REAL DOUBT!!
I have 2014 Karina v2. I thing my Karina is better than old one.. bcz my frd have old model.. nd I used both bikes.. some people s says old Karina is gud.. I dnt know why.. BT I like new design .. nd still I'm waiting for new 2018 zmr
I think verdict should be 'nothing from a company that's good at making splendor and nothing else'
DID YOU JUST BUNNY HOP THE KARIZMA?!?!???!?!?! :O
TH-cam suggestig me this video after 5 years of riding this legend, definately old karizma was charm and king. But after using this one is also another experience few liked how it looks few say its ugly from front but really it grew on me, performance was insane, service charge as lowest, i have used it for 130000kms and its still like I. Am ready to go but body parts in this version are not great yes front fairing is not good. It manages to do around 135 - 140 km/hr. Surprising thing is it manages to go toe to toe with rc 200 and r15 on highway in full throttle.
Vibrations are more than old version because hero team has increased compression ratio to extract more bhp from engine
Being the biggest two wheeler manufacturer we expect Hero to go further on the next level of Spirited Riding pls do start make some exciting stuff like Hero did by launching CBZ and Karizma but since then there are no efforts has been seen from Hero and that's feel sad on the Other hand Bajaj has gone far forward in making exciting machines like NS 200 Dominar but Hero still not looking to get into this Where as Yamaha, Suzuki KTM are making a name for themselves already in Indian Market, So tough times For Hero is coming if they don't wake up.
we needed karizma zmr review
@ 4:54 He said ZMR... :P
what a bike karizma was when it was launched! even i learned to ride bike on old karizma ..
In fact a lot of Team PD members have had great memories with the Karizma :)
+PowerDrift yes I loved old one KARIZMA
Now Karizma has got a facelift, now is there any news that the famed legendary Pulsar 220 will get a facelift too in the coming months or not?
Eagerly waiting for the facelift of the Pulsar 220.
Hey Powerdrift ppl........
U guys make the best review videos out there....
Just one request....can u please review the Karizma ZMR 2014 version....Plz.....it would b great.....thnx ...n keep up d good work... :*
Hello guys I also hated this bike for the design.
But after all its design like ebr 1190.
(Hero provide Major financial backing for EBR. :) )
But wen I saw this bike in real (showroom) I was amazed. In pics it look bullshit in real I think its awesome. :)
ZMR not R
yeah you are right, i own the new zmr.. its good in person than in pics.
but am disappointed with the fit and finish as well as the brakes..
ebr should have come to bajaj or tvs instead of hero, like ktm and bmw did respectively...
I like your video., but not the vehicle. Hero just wasted the Big Name "Karizma" .
May be Hero should consider retiring Karizma and replace it with HX250, or rename the HX as Karizma, one way or the other this model, as Sagar said and I quote "Its a far cry from the earlier Karizma"! Its bit of a disappointment rather than a revelation.
refreshing change
sagar put out more ngtvs dan pstvs
must b serious coz he loves motorcycles so much dat alwayz stands by brighter sidz.
cheerz
I have a 2005 Karizma and even after 12 years a ride on it gives me intense pleasure. Am I going to sell it? No boy, NO! It has a special place in my heart. 🙂
Man... U guys are better than Top Gear... #period
hey hii do u have any info on re-release of the Karizma R
they say that a faceliftëd version is around thè corner so when can we expect it out of production as im eagerly waiting for it
We haven't heard or read any concrete news about an upgrade. The HX250R has been in the making since quite a bit & we hopefully should see the road going model real soon.
i was looking fwd to buy karizma r but after seeing the new design i completely lost interest in it !! it looks like custom modified gone terrible -_-
Nithin Thodupunoori exactly
1st 4stroke beyond 150cc segment? i seriously doubt so... Royal Enfield came with a 4stroke engine long time before.. i think so
Sorry but I want 2 know about wat is the top speed of karizma r please tell me
bro i jst reached till 135 but i know it can touch till 155-160
like the editing & camera works fellas!!
watching this reveiw in 2023 ? after the latest launch of karizma xmr
