If you want to win in a straight line, want a bike thats easier to live with, go on long rides comfortably as well as daily the bike then go for the Karizma. If you want to carve through corners then go with the R15, thats like the only part where I can recommend the R15. The only practical aspect of the R15 is its mileage but I dont think im going to sacrifice my back and comfort for 10kmpl more. If you want a bike that can do it all then take the Karizma, if you already have practical bikes and you want something tailor made for the track then buy an R15. Both the bikes will turn the same number of heads but the R15 does look better when you have them both standing side by side imo. If I had to choose between the two i'd go for the Karizma.

Tbh, it's better we never discuss that bike anywhere.. it's nowhere near the same segment bike with similar price cap in any sector. For entry level sports bike Yamaha takes the win.. also taking Indian roads into consideration.
Who are these guys? Are they random college goers obsessed with bike with some really kiddish dialogues, or these guys the future of Zigwheels. Seems ZW is taking downward turn. The speech, visuals and even content makes it very uncanny to view. Do maintain quality while not ruining your own standards.
@@Akash-cm5yo Your bike your choice 🤗 You are the one paying. But with the money you saved buying Karizma you could almost get petrol worth at least 10k and if you compare it to the top model r15 atleast petrol worth 20k🤔
I bought the r15m with all accessories it's grate bike since I use Dio for daily use it's wonderful the feel quickshifter and slipper clutch give you in tight corner is amazing and ya it's kinda of overpriced but i already made my mind to get one so. again I don't hate any bike
One last Fact: Being a 200cc bike if the karizma was priced more than r15 then noone will ever look at karizma for sure. Its the terror of R15 that a 200cc bike had to set their price range lower to get the desired sales figure.✌️
Shame that the R15 has given wannabe racers the confidence to carry dangerous speeds filtering traffic. It’s always two boys (the pillion without a helmet) ripping through the streets. This kinda tarnishes the R15 image in my eyes :/
R15 is the better looking bike. It even beats most litre class bikes in terms of looks. But sadly, if you go on long rides, chances are you will hate it. The Discomfort, and lack of power will be quite evident. When you want to save time when touring b/w cities you simply cant. Also bad roads will break the alloys and steering alignment if ridden fast over pot holes. Hill Climbs are a challenge if ur on the heavy side or mount luggage at the back and god forbid no t both.
Karisma is rattly vibey, not efficient and it's a hero so it won't take long to break down. Then you go to the service center and stand in line all day with the splendor uncles.
It's not about the looks.... actually it looks good..but the thing is the elements still that they used is unacceptable....box type swing arm unit and telescopic forks in 2023🥴

What's the use of having a USD? I currently own a Hornet 2.0 with USD suspension. Let me tell you, conventional suspension is better for comfortable riding. The shitty usd will throw you around.

@@prasanthprabhakaran7939 i was not suggesting you to buy hornet. The role of usd in aiding handling is just exaggerated. In Indian roads usd is only good for having neck pain.
Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 because of 👇 1) 250cc engine is torque and tractable. 2) Capable of doing 130+ Highway cruising speed. 3) Only ABS and not other tech. That gives room for improving riding skills. 4) Its headlight makes it easy to do night rides much more efficiently. 5) Engine is refined. 6) For a 250cc bike, it does gives great mileage (40 is achievable in the city. However this depends on what RPM you ride it).
Depends on usage I guess. After all, it all comes down to the rider's preference. During my 2 year, I've used it from short to long drives and honestly, it hasn't disappointed me yet.
R15 has good bottom end ? Seriously😂 ? . Put Gixxer SF 250 vs Karizma to test . They are close on power , torque and performance . R15 can be considered only for looks and price in the category , when performace comes into picture , Gixxer and Karizma are miles ahead
@@abhishek3398 I guess 'weak' or 'worse' is on relative terms . As it is having almost 25 ps power and 20Nm of torque it's delivery might be tuned in such a way that both peaks from midrange - top end as it's DOHC setup . So compared to other bikes in price range like Gixxer , Apache which has power at almost all rpms more at low and mid rpm this might be differently tuned . But don't think it's weaker than R15 in low end because R15's low end as far as I have ridden is bad
@Flames701 I have a v3 and I use it in city commutes as well. It's got ok ish bottom and it can sometimes pull from as low as 25 - 30 kmph from 3rd gear. I learnt riding on a friend's NS200, so it was similar to this as well, that's when I chose to buy R15v3 since it felt similar in performance (a point more in ns) and it had very good average whilst offering that performance. So I thought karizma was a similar deal. Also I heard in the newest bs6 phase 2 R15 they fixed the low end power issue when compared to the bs6 phase 1 v4's. Probably that's the reason they say the bottom end is good.
@Flames701 also the power figures they post are on crank. The wheel horsepower how ever will be less for sure. It depends on swimgarm length, unsprung weight and many other factors. So I doubt they got that efficiency, but the spec sheet itself looks promising. If it was a yamaha or a ktm I would have doubted the reviewers, since they know how to engineer a bike and they're quite hard core. Let's see, I'll try getting a hands on one, after all we don't ride spec sheets.
@@abhishek3398 Definitely . But such power loss will be applicable for every bike . Need to test ride Karizma to find how and power and torque delivery is hands on . Going blindly by UA-cam drag races it has quite good pull. After all 25 vs 18 bhp on crank vs wheels will be there
Did you guys choose 2 random college kids to do this review? Got a headache just listening to whatever this was.
Content quality of many Auto channels are going southward
I agree
"Priced very similar" with a price difference of 16k? It's so dumb... Karizma is already a winner!

I love the way Yamaha has raised the standards , I mean people race 150cc to 250cc with R15. Kudos to Yamaha for that
The only standard they raised were the pricing which put it against the 200 and 250s. It got outright demolished in a drag race with Karizma.
