                  Superb bike, excellent pickup and good mileage performance. Bike is also having awesome looks and style. Bike is nice. This is suitable for daily trips and highway long ride also. Good seating comfort and with complete led light setup. My experience with this bike is very nice with low cost of maintenance.

                  Beast on highway in this segment. Smooth suspension. Overall, great pickup and performance, maintenance is very low, braking is also awesome. Also the handling of the bike is great as well as the grip on the road. Good looking, attention catching, stunning performance and low maintenance. Anywhere you go with this bike, everyone will notice it and many of them ask which bike is this. Pillion comfort is not so good. For a person who wants to be different from the crowded bikes in this segment and wants more performance. Also in this segment, in fully faired bikes, there are very less options like some of them have Plusar RS200, many of them have Yamaha R15 but rarely someone have this pure beast and monster Hero Karizma XMR Combat Edition.

                  Neat condition bike with awesome road presence
                  This bike is very good while daily riding is the main factor as the mileage is very good like 43 kmpl in city traffic and the maintenance cost is very low if you ride the bike properly. Also the road presence particularly of this edition is great. If you wish to look good while getting an optimum performance then you can definitely go for it. In my case this bike is in neat condition without any damages or missing parts. All the services done on time and so the warranty is valid.
