BAJAJ PULSAR 220 DTSi S IMAGES,REVIEW,MILEAGE,PRICE


COURTESY : autos.maxabout.com
REVIEW :
After the huge success of New Pulsar 220 F and Pulsar 135 LS Bajaj India has launch another variant of Pulsar 220 which has been christened Pulsar 220 S. Here "S" stands for Street like in current Pulsar 220 variant "F" stands for Faired.  The bike resembles the Pulsar 200 along with the engine and features of the Pulsar 220. The Pulsar 220 S has been priced Rs. 3,000 less than the F version.The new Bajaj Pulsar 220 is reported to the fastest Indian bike ever built. Bajaj team has successfully reached the top speed of 144 kmph and thus made the bike as the fastest bike in the country . New Pulsar 220cc's gear ratio is optimized to achieve the top speed. Also Pulsar 220 has been priced very competitively to its main rivals - Yamaha R15 & Karizma ZMR.


TECH SPECS :
Though Pulsar is not technically advanced like R15 & ZMR but if you compare the price then Pulsar 220 is much better option. Pulsar 220 is also more powerful with 21 Bhp on tap in Comparison to Karizma ZMR's 17.6 Bhp and Yamaha R15's 17 Bhp. So, if you wanna pay less for more power then simply go for New Pulsar 220. New Bajaj Pulsar 220 S gets all new 220cc oil cooled carburetored engine with 21 Bhp of power at 8500rpm and 19 NM of torque. Other changes to the engine insides include new combustion chamber, all new port geometry for optimized thermodynamics, new valve coat material to eliminate cardon formation, new design short skirt lower friction piston, an all new camshaft and 33% larger oil cooler.


PERFORMANCE:
The new 220 S gets the performance boost with 32 venturi carburettor, the bigest ever used in India. In addition, the intake port in the cylinder head has been modified, along with higher lift and duration cam. A larger resonator and catalytic converter is also used to increase performance. It also uses temperature based ignition mapping system through which the ignition timing is optimized to acheive good startability, quick warm up and outstanding torque. New Pulsar 220cc features the standard five speed gearbox with one down and four up pattern. 


LOOKS & STYLING :
New Bajaj Pulsar 220 S will be same in terms of looks and styling. The only difference will be that it will be without fairing. It will featurethe ‘all-black’ theme like Pulsar 150 & 180. Starting from the forks, swingarm, wheels and engine are all in a rich shade of black and that makes the bike look much leaner and meaner. It will come with six spoke alloy wheels, stylish body panels, clear lens indicators and exposed chain. It offers a little under-seat storage cubby that can be unlocked via a cable release located under its lockable side panel. With the removal of the semi fairing, the bike also sheds off the projectors it sported on the F version. While the 220 F and the 220 DTS-Fi were the best and the most applauded bikes when it came to lightning dark roads and highways because of the projectors they came fitted with, this bike would need to do without all of that. The new Pulsar 220 S also gets the new 3-D graphics, redesigned console background and slightly revised clip-on handlebars.

HERO HONDA KARIZMA R 223cc pictures,review,price,mileage


courtesy : autos.maxabout.com
Design and Styling Of Karizma R:
Karizma R looks very stylish with black alloy die-cast wheels dual light tailpiece, front indicators, the fairing, silencer unit, stepped up seat, panel shapes and new yellow black instrument binnacle.The fairing is not a full one which can be seen on sports bikes but nevertheless it was never before there on any Indian bike. The tank doesn't look big like the Pulsar's bulky tank but it holds 15 liters of fuel.
The trapezoidal headlamp unit up front looks great and the Illumination is brilliant which is unmatched by any bike in the country. The guide lamps are superb and borrowed from the Royal Enfields. The tank recesses easily accommodated the legs of our tallest testers. The amber backlighting for instruments is exciting. Being connected directly to the battery, all lights and instruments work independently of the rpm of the engine, and are a boon at night.
New Karizma ZMR will be sold along with old Karizma model, Hero Honda has decided not to phase out Karizma R and sell both the models side by side.


Comfort & Ride Quality Of Karizma R:
The sporty position of the seat offers the best possible seating position for the rider although the pillion seat could have been a little bit more longer. Even on long journeys,the back support is very good and the front shock-absorbers do a great job of damping the vibrations. The rear shock-absorbers are perfect for Indian Road conditions which mostly consist of pot-holes and speed breakers.The rear rider's comfort levels aren't all that great and could have done with some more thinking and concentration on that aspect.
Though the riding position is very sporty and similar to that on the older CBZ, it feels different. The long wheelbase at 1355mm helps stability. Gripping the wide bars, the rush of pleasure with its linear torque is a feeling difficult to put in words. Stability at any and every speed is top class. Turn-in is excellent and cornering is admirable. The way the suspension is set up and mated with the single downtube conventional frame is excellent.


Engine and Performance Of Karizma R:
It is powerred by 17BHP 223cc single cylinder engine from the stables of Honda,who are possibly the best engine manufacturers world-wide.The shift lever is a sporty one and has a 1 down 4 up sports-bike like shift pattern.The motor is silky smooth across all bands of power and never shows signs of tiring and goes on and on and on. It seems as if you still have loads of power even at speeds of 100kmph. The idling speed of the engine is best set around.
The gearbox employs a tall close ratio fourth and fifth gear with lower gearing for the first three gears. This works out well giving one sufficient power out on the highway, yet not making the bike tough to ride around town. A wet multi-plate clutch is employed and feels perfect, with just the correct amount of feedback. Thumb the starter and the first thing you will notice is the refinement of the engine. The main important things are that you shouldn't open up the throttle and try speeding away. Gear shifts and acceleration should be gradual. A smooth driving style with minimal gear shifts is to be followed.
Fuel Economy Of Karizma R:
Equipped with a larger capacity engine, the Karizma's mileage figures depend on how it is ridden. Under city riding conditions, the bike returned 30kpl and on the highway testing runs surprised with an impressive 45kpl at a speed of 70kph. Overall is a great bike with superb refinement, comfort and great handling. It is a highly capable and stylish bike but high price puts it out of reach for many.

HERO HONDA KARIZMA ZMR 250cc pictures,review,price,mileage

courtesy : www.vicky.in

Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Do you know, what puzzles every stock broker and giving the competitors sleepless nights?. It is Hero Honda’s sales numbers. Yes, even for an experienced analyst, its difficult to crack the reason behind the success of Hero Honda. Why splendors and passion’s are still selling well?. If any of you send us the reason, we would give the ZMR for sure.
But don’t think Hero Honda is just selling 100cc bikes. Hero Honda has tripled its sales in the premium segment (150cc+).After KarizmaAchieverCBZ X-treme and Hunk,now comes the “fifth” model – Karizma ZMR FI. The fuel Injected Karizma is easily the most awaited bike in indian two wheeler market.
Let us drive through the Karizma ZMR and find out whether its worth the wait.

Hero Honda Karizma ZMR review :

It’s not a sticker job, but a complete makeover. Karizma has always been known as a bike with cool design. The Karizma ZMR takes this forward. The bikini fairing is gone and the full fairing is here. The distinctly shaped headlamps with twin position(pilot) lamps reminds me of Suzuki’s GSR series. The sporty visor with tinted wind screen houses the digital cockpit which will see in detail in later slides.
The choice of gold colored engine,front forks, iGRS and red spring is a subject of debate. Come rear, X-treme-ish tail section sports diamond shaped 3 layered LED. But its not that sexy as in X-treme. Absence of body coloured grab rail might be the difference. The paint quality is top notch and many would praise the body graphics and decals. Karizma ZMR looks electric in Ducatish white.




KARIZMA ZMR ENGINE :
You can’t see but feel! under the fairing many things have changed. Now you have 6-sensors working overtime to ensure your ride is a pleasure one. The 223cc, PGM-FI, oil cooled mill uses throttle position sensor, bank angle sensor,crank position sensor, oxygen sensor,manifold absolute pressure sensor and intake air temperature sensor.
It seems like i’m going through combustion engineering during my graduation. The 16 bit ECU processor also uses Idle air control valve and Honda Evolutional Catalyzing System (HECS) for better idling characteristics and lower emissions. But all these have pumped up engine power by a meagre 0.6bhp to 17.6bhp at 7000rpm and unchanged 18.35Nm of peak torque. A five speed transmission and anti judder clutch to get the juice out of this mill. Not so excited! remember don’t judge the bikes by spec.
Though there’s not discernible difference in the outright performance, its very much on the response side. Its refined and the acceleration is steady and smooth. Hero Honda claims the Karizma ZMR can hit 60kmph from standstill in 3.7 seconds. Though we couldn’t test the figure, we felt its much quicker than the carburreted one.
We hit a top whack of 119kmph andfelt it has more to extract. The fuel efficiency / mileage would be higher though not as shown by erratic mileage indicator. You can sense the heat, when you ride ZMR hard but it won’t burn your thighs.


KARIZMA ZMR LOOKS  AND COMFORT:
sports telescopic forks at the front and the rear gets inverted Gas Reservoir System. The GRS first introduced in Hunk made remarkable changes in the ride character of the bike. Same is the case here as well, even on potholed bad roads ZMR offers superior ride quality.No matter you are rider or a pillion, it offers supreme comfort.
Next time you head for touring you don’t have worry about your spine. Thankfully, Hero Honda retains the ergonomics of karizma. Adding the split handle bar sets you more comfortable. Its nimble but don’t try to attack the corners.The vibes does creep in when the engine is revved around 6000rpm but it don’t make you nervous. The cowl mounted rear view mirrors is large and shows a clear view. But it developed issues during the testing. The outgrown handlebar weights seems like an after fitments.


The digital cockpit welcomes you with a message “welcome aboard karthi ” and sign off “Bye, c u soon”. You have to toggle between the two buttons mounted on top of the speedo to switch between the modes. The panoramic large display gives you everything you need but not in hot sun. Real time mileage indicator, 2 trip meter and digital bar tachometer,digital fuel level indicator, digital clock and digital bar tachometer should be more than enough for any mathematician to analyse data.
Karizma ZMR is available in five colours – panther black, sports red, vibrant blue,moon yellow and pearl white. It is priced Rs91,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) right between thePulsar 220cc and R15.






Verdict:
Hero Honda Karizma ZMR comes with all the right ingredients a performance enthusiast would look at. The ergonomics is good, the engine is responsive and it rides well too. The styling has improved phenomenally and its no way to inferior to any bike in terms of hi-tech features. But nothing comes at ease. Hero Honda has increased the sticker price by Rs20,000 (approximately).
What’s more interesting is Hero Honda is going to sell the Karizma ZMR along with the older one. This means Hero Honda has to find new customers for ZMR instead of graduating hardcore Karizma fans. You and i may criticize the strategy but Hero Honda might once again prove us wrong. That’s why stands “above all” even in midst of recession.



BAJAJ PULSAR 135LS IMAGES,REVIEW,MILEAGE,PRICE

You've been waiting for the new Pulsar. You've been expecting it to be the biggest Pulsar. What you will get is the smallest Pulsar. Say hello to the Pulsar 135 LS, Bajaj's all-new offering that looks set to create a segment of its own.


LOOKS :
Aesthetically, the 135 LS is an evolution of the Sonic concept that was shown at the last Auto Expo. The front fairing and its 'floating' fairing is reminiscent of the concept, though the production version's shape is more angular and refined. The speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter are digital, while the tachometer keeps an analogue face. The front mudguard features ridges on the top to complete the aggressive front look. New clip-on handlebars highlight this motorcycle's sporty intent, while switches and grips are the familiar Bajaj units.

The tank is a sculpted unit and features tank extensions that merge well with the overall look, enhancing the LS's sporty appeal. The seat is a two-piece unit that ends in a slinky-looking tail section devoid of a plastic mudguard. A rear wheel shroud now protects the pillion from whatever the rear wheel might throw up. Oh and lest I forget, the wheels are five-spoke alloys, something that we seem to take for granted these days. What catches your attention is the nifty little number plate holder at the rear, and also the new slash cut-look exhaust that tapers towards the end.














ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE :
The 135 LS features a four-valve head and DTS-i, the first time that these two technologies have been combined. And the resulting 13.3 bhp@9000 rpm and 1.16 kgm@7500 rpm make the little Pulsar good fun to ride. Thanks to the four-valve setup, the bike revs eagerly to 10,500 rpm where the limiter cuts in. But it also pulls from as low as 20 kph in top gear without a pillion, so low-end torque is good too. Bajaj claims a 0-60 kph time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 115 kph which is extremely good for a 135cc engine and treads into 150cc territory. The engine is smooth and refined for the most part, except at the very top end where you do feel some vibes through the handlebars. Out of corners, there is just about enough shove to keep you involved, though in traffic, the power delivery should make it a hoot to ride. Part of the Pulsar 135's surprising performance comes from the fact that it weighs just 122 kg. Which brings us to the ride and handling part.

 





RIDE AND HANDLING :
The Pulsar 135 LS lives up to it 'LS' moniker, which by the way stands for 'Light Sport.' The chassis features a box-section single downtube with the engine acting as a stressed member, while the rest of the frame is tubular. The swingarm is a box-section unit too, and hugs a full-size 100/90 MRF Zapper. The front forks are strong and handle the braking forces that the 240 mm front disc can dish out, while the rear shocks are gas-charged, triple-rated units that damp out road undulations very well. Overall, the bike has a very taut feel to it, and while we cannot comment on the ride quality on normal roads, given that fact that Bajaj's bikes always ride well, this one should be no exception.

The Pulsar 135 LS is confidence-inspring around corners and extremely stable on straights. And between those corners and straights, it's extremely agile too. Mid-corner corrections are effortless and non-scary. Also, repeated hard braking from 90 kph failed to make the 135 LS lose it composure. It always tracked straight without any wiggling or jiggling from the rear. Again, I'd love to ride it in its natural habitat - city traffic - and see exactly how much fun it is. That it will be fun is without question.




VALUE FOR MONEY :
At Rs 51,000, ex-showroom, Delhi, the Pulsar 135 LS is excellent value for money. It has all the right kit, the right looks and the right dynamic package that should appeal to a wide range of customers - from college-goers to commuters wanting that little bit extra and everyone in between. The 135 LS is sure to take the Pulsar name to new heights.  

TVS JIVE images,review,mileage,price

TVS Jive review :
Manufacturers always wishes to differentiate products from their competitors to lure the customers. Most of the times, the diffrentiator fails to change you ride bikes. The features are attractive but never bring comfort. TVS claims here is a bike which will ease your body and mind. The Jive is an attempt by TVS to ease off riding.


Styling :

The segment where Jive competes is a utilatarian one. For this segment buyers, the bike is more for a purpose than a fashionary item. Yet, Jive is cool and appealing. Jive inherits the styling of hot selling star city. The only change is the spruced-up tank which brings character to the Jive.

T-Matic :

comes with an innovative clutchless technology (“T-Matic” in TVS terms). Earlier Hero Honda launched a clutchless vehicle called Hero Honda street but met failure because of poor mileage and price. TVS says and it is different from street. Jive uses rotary gear and automatic clutch which ensures Jive can be ridden at any gear at any speed. The anti stall mechanism makes riding possible at low speeds even in high gears.

Gears :

Switch on the ignition, slot the lever in the first gear, the bikes standstill. Only when you scroll the throttle, the bike moves forward. My cerebrum fails to accept the absence of clutch lever and driving the jive needs little getting used to. You can start the bike in any gear and rotaty gear system means you can reach neutral from top or first gear.
Make the jive to stand with centre-stand. Switch on the ignition in any gear, you can see the rear wheel rotating in lower speeds. This is the due to slippage in transmission which results in power delivery to rear wheel in smaller amount.

Engine :

Jive is powered by a 110cc engine which pumps out 8.4bhp of peeak power and 8.3Nm of peak torque. Surely, Jive reduces your stress especially under tight traffic conditions. It starts at any gear and never stalls. The power band is also wide. As typical of any bike, running the jive at lower speeds in higher gear will push up your fuel budget. The refinement is largely compromised. Jive is raucuous and vibration is very much evident even at lower speeds.

Features :

comes with electric star and alloy wheels. It weighs 105kg and sports fuel tanks capacity of 15 litres. An underseat storage to carry a 1 litre water bottle and an unbrella is a welcome feature. The segment buyers loves space as they transport everything with the bike. Manufacturers have to find ways to increase the stowage space in motorcycles.
