The new Hero Karizma ZMR 2013 sports a projector headlamp in the low beam and a parabolic high beam set-up. With this, the updated ZMR becomes the second bike in its segment to boast of a projector headlamp set-up (the first being the much loved Bajaj Pulsar 220).
While there are good chances that the new headlamp setup would probably endow the bike with the best headlight setup in the segment, it seems like people can’t stop blaming Hero MotoCorp for “copying” from every bike maker from Ducati to Bajaj! We feel that the bike, akin to arch rival P220, has a similar headlamp setup but any sort of resemblance might be purely coincidental. Also, we really don’t find even a hint of the Ducati 999 here and we wonder why people associate such holy machines with rather modest small displacement Indian motorcycles.
The front fairing also houses somewhat large trafficators, which we earlier mistook for a pair of auxiliary lamps (believe me, we weren’t alone!). Overall, the bike’s completely new front fairing makes the bike look bigger, bulkier and brawnier than before. However, the fairing does remind us of some super bikes of the yore and the tall fairing, coupled with that huge windscreen, and might not appeal to some of the bike aficionados out there.
