Hero Honda Karizma (2008)

Wednesday, 30 August 2023 10:01 AM The Hero Karizma XMR, the latest iteration of the Karizma series, has been compared to its 2008 predecessor, the Hero Honda Karizma. The new model features a sharper design language with a full fairing, contrasting the half-fairing of the older model. The new bike also boasts a trellis frame, a significant upgrade from the downtube frame of the 2008 version. I think this modern design will appeal more to the current market.

Monday, 15 June 2020 01:37 AM Hero MotoCorp has officially discontinued the Hero Honda Karizma, marking the end of an era for this iconic sports bike. The 2008 model, with its 223cc engine producing 16.8bhp, was a favorite among Indian bikers. Its discontinuation has left many nostalgic for the bike that once dominated Indian roads. I believe its legacy will continue to influence future bike designs.

Tuesday, 20 March 2018 01:28 AM The Hero Honda Karizma (2008) was known for its robust engine and reliable performance. With a maximum torque of 1.84kgm@6000rpm and a 5-speed gearbox, it offered a smooth riding experience. The bikes ground clearance of 150mm and kerb weight of 150kg made it a balanced ride for both city and highway use. I think its engineering was ahead of its time.

Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:15 PM In terms of design, the Hero Honda Karizma (2008) had a distinctive look with its half-fairing and full-length chromed-out exhaust. The bike was available in Daring Yellow, which was a popular color choice among bikers. The analogue speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge added to its sporty appeal. I believe the design still holds up today.
