The bike has a top speed of 108 km/h and is capable of doing 0-60 km/h in 5.5 seconds. It has an overall fuel efficiency of 51 kmpl

Hero Honda Karizma

Karizma has been designed specifically for the Indian market by Honda. The styling is inspired by Honda VFR800. The instrument panel and the tank recesses are also designed keeping their functionality in mind. The horn has come under criticism for not being loud enough

The seating of Karizma is aimed for a sporty stance which can result in discomfort in long distances.Reviews have praised the handling of Karizma as "being easy for novice" ,"impeccable on straights and cornering" and as an "accomplished bike" in ride and handling. However the rear tyre, the handle bar and the foot pegs have been blamed in affecting the handling.Karizma has the tried and tested, but slightly detuned version of 223cc SOHC air-cooled engine from the CRF230 series of enduro /MX/supermoto bikes that are sold in the USA and South American markets. It has a 5-speed gearbox in place of the CRF's 6-speed. The engine is an all aluminum, undersquare engine (bore 65.5 mm and stroke 66.2 mm) running a compression ratio of 9:1. It features a Kehlin CV carburettor with a CCVI switch. The top speed is around 130 km/h and the 0-60 km/h is achieved around 3.8 seconds. The Karizma is reported to have an overall fuel economy of 38 km/l (90 mpg or 2.4 l/100 km), with a best of 50 km/l (120 mpg) and a worst of 28 km/l (66 mpg).

 

Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme

 

 

Hero Honda CBZ, launched in early 1999 by Hero Honda Motors India Ltd, was the first sports oriented 4-stroke bike. Sporting an original Honda 156.8 cc engine, it made good 12.8PS of power which was sufficient enough to propel it to 110[120 on Speedo] km/h. The styling of the bike was a scaled version of the famous Honda CB series. Sufficient mid-range torque ensured a 0–60 km/h (0-37 mph) in just 5 seconds.CBZ was one of the first Indian 4-stroke bikes to feature a 5-speed gearbox

The close-ratio gearbox provided superior acceleration and roll-on capabilities. The gearbox was well sorted to provide best performance out of the peaky power plant which also lacked top-end refinement.
