TheHero Honda Karizma ZMR is a mid-range sport-tourer motorcycle manufactured in India, first by a partnership ofHero Honda and later years by Hero Motorcorp. The motorcycle was in the market for a long time; beginning with its first launch in 2003 under the Karizma brand, its rebranding in 2007 under the Karizma R brand. Further, the Karizma R brand was a given a cosmetic upgrade in September 2009 resulting in its change in the name to Karizma ZMR.[2] There was minor difference between its engine and that of its predecessorKarizma R. The minor differences lied in the design offairing,headlights, addition of digitalspeedometer, reardisc brake, gas charged rear swing-arm suspension and the fuel-injection system instead of the carburettor.[2] In 2014, the ZMR was relaunched[3] with EBR inspired design[4] and the same, but improved engine tuned to deliver more power and torque. In addition, the tail-light design was changed as well as widening of the rear tyre to improve handling following previous critical reviews.[5] It was discontinued in February 2020 due to poor sales and being unable to meet BS6 compliance.
