And it reveals that it is expected to reflect not only stunning look but fiery performance as well. It is the new front fairing of Karizma that defines a style similar to that of Yamaha R15. The front headlamps are curved while the tail lamps consist of traditional bulb system. This sporty bike is equipped with perfect and comfortable ergonomics with a rear mudguard, a style taken from Honda Hunk. With changes in the rear cowl and front fairing, this street machine is expected to reflect a different style.
The Karizma 2009 will be equipped with new technology PGM-Fi and liquid-cooled 223cc engine so it is expected to deliver more torque and more power in this segment of motorcycles.
