There is hardly any other pair of bikes present in the market that competes more than the Hero Karizma ZMR and Bajaj Pulsar 220F duo. Both of these bikes have been present in the market for a really long time now and they have their own sets of fan following. Though it is really tough to determine which of the two is better but let’s take a closer look at facts to see if a rational conclusion is reachable to this debate.
Karizma ZMR, easily, is one of the most stylish bikes in the market and there are a handful of models that can compete with it in this aspect. Featuring dual dynamic headlamps and LED position lamps, the front part of this bike packs a punch and is sure to get an immediate response from the onlooker. The chiselled oil tank, crouching position of the front part, sporty LED tail light and uplifted rear make the Hero Karizma ZMR a top class bike. This bike is fitted with an air cooled 4-stroke single cylinder engine that has a displacement of 223 cc. The OHC engine propels the Karizma ZMR to generate an output of around 20 BHO along with peak torque of 19.7 Nm and this bike can reach a top speed of 129 kmph.
Bajaj Pulsar 220F is among the top selling sports bikes in the market and has taken the series to another level. The appearance of this motorcycle is a combination of style and aerodynamics, featuring ultra stylish LED lamps, split rear grab rails, sporty split seats and stylish semi-fairing. Standard equipment present on the bike includes pass switch, self cancelling indicators and electric start switch. This bike is powered by a 220 cc DTSi engine that develops an output of around 20 BHP and maximum torque of 19.12 Nm.
In terms of mechanical configuration, there is hardly anything to choose between these two models. Bajaj Pulsar is perfect for those who want an out-and-out sports bike while Karizma compromises on that a bit to improve its style quotient. In the end, all of it boils down to the customer’s individual choice as there is little to choose between the two.
