    Nice review maga…

  • By rickson, December 6, 2009 @ 3:11 am

    well…have to say that r15 outclassed zmr in every aspect,whether it is looks or pick up or weight etc.zmr is also good bike but we r comparing it with a 150 cc bike!!and also then it is outclassed by a 150 cc bike.
    and by looking at zmr u can say that its make over is done by hero not by honda

  • By Gaurav, December 27, 2009 @ 3:32 am

    i wud pick zmr at it luks much bigger n meaner….wheras r15 looks as if a small bike is MODIFIED 2 A GRT XTENT…..N R15 will b unable 2 make its prsnc feel….

  • By rajeev, December 29, 2009 @ 8:45 am

    R15 has a great spped than karizma zmr but both are gud at the same time. it ur wish to choose ur bike.

  • By Sumit, March 12, 2010 @ 12:07 pm

    its a gr88 review,
    A person can go for R15, Bt if he wants a good musilk bike it can go for zmr…..

  • By Hrithik fan, May 3, 2010 @ 9:06 pm

    I hear they give Hrithik cap with autograph free with ZMR, so guys go for it! Now it better than r15

  • By Aki.S..., May 10, 2010 @ 8:58 pm

    It totally depends on the person as to what he needs… I thought over it a lot n ‘ve purchased a black r15 ystrday… If u hv noticed..even ninja 250 has almost the same dimensions..thats aerodynamics!… The tyres gv u excellent handling..a knee on road handling… Zmr is a competetor to p220 segment wise… Although zmr is a sports bike n p220 a commuter..R15 is an absolute racing machine with loads of features taken from its superbikes like R6 n R1… Neverthless..its ur decision..go for a test drive n judge… Its not a daily child play to spend 1,00,000rs.!…

  • By siddharth, May 20, 2010 @ 10:08 am

    yamaha r15 is better in looks n karizma zmr is better in comfort , for speed u must switch to r15 and 4 rider comfort u must switch to zmr…..

  • By haresh, June 16, 2010 @ 6:48 am

    which is best between R15 and ZMR

  • By prashant, July 25, 2010 @ 3:40 am

    karizma is a better deal than r15. trust me u wont regret

  • By arjun, August 7, 2010 @ 11:21 pm

    i think both ZMR and R15 is good in perfomence.
    but we cant get enough perfomence from r15 @ low RPM.
    but itz really awesome in high RPM.
    in case of ZMR its nice in low RPM. but not much as good like R15 in high RPM.
    in style wise, ZMR is big . so a tall person should go for an ZMR.
    R15 has very small height.
    According to me I like R15 in style wise and ZMR in perfomance ..

  • By Unknown, August 24, 2010 @ 12:35 am

    i had R15 for almost 3months….. i liked it very much but when i ride my friends ZMR i thought that R15 is a garbage in front of that…. ZMR really really rocks…
    i am planning to buy it this week….

  • By Hero SAID, August 24, 2010 @ 1:04 am

    Hey ‘Rickson said’ are u mad or what ??? Either u cant read or ur just dumb and all. Cant u see that KARIZMA ZMR is made for INDIA and ri5 is just another 150 cc bike with some good tech and HORRIBLE price.
    I just wanna say LOSER.

  • By Sarvesh ary, September 5, 2010 @ 4:27 am

    I think r15 is attractive than zmr as well as permormance but its wheel base is very short

  • By abhimanyu, September 7, 2010 @ 1:47 pm

  • By akib, October 6, 2010 @ 1:36 am

  • By Ankit, October 15, 2010 @ 4:11 am

  • By Naveen, October 31, 2010 @ 12:02 am

    top speed is not at all factor, unless u go for long drives. i wanna kno which is gud for city/comfort ride..

  • By Rajiv, November 3, 2010 @ 3:47 pm

    What they dont tell you about Yamaha’s DiASil cylinder technology is that whenever your cylinder wears out you have to replace the cylinder along with new piston for 8-9k + labor and not a simple re-bore and new piston.

  • By Adi, November 18, 2010 @ 3:21 am

    i would say that both r not enough to beat pulsur 220 f …so iwill suggest all ma friend choose pulsur ….and question abt its part are available in any machine store ….so go go go choose your bike

  • By lucky, November 24, 2010 @ 8:16 pm

    hey frnd…. R15 is a grt byyyke… ZMR look like foolish…. Listen if u want a good chalanging byk den u go for R15. However, zmr only in cc and little bit of bhp…….

  • By rajat, November 24, 2010 @ 11:23 pm

    zmr is great

  • By raj, December 19, 2010 @ 8:58 am

    mr is cheap and r15 is expensive because quality is good you are getting a bike from yamaha which is a very big thing and it has got a great riding experiance and a great resale value.

  • By rocky, December 23, 2010 @ 4:15 am
