- My views on new Karizma ZMR -

CONSUMER BEING FOOLED BY THIS COMPANY CONTINUES...

Many bike enthusiasts were waiting for this bike. Everybody was Hoping for a blast from Hero Honda(HH) but as usual, it failed to do that. This company should stop borrowing technology or should I say engines from Honda and stop producing bikes above 125cc. Another crap from HH and it has done the same thing that it can do best. Yes, cosmetic changes or should I say decorating a bike from here and there and NO upgrade in engine.
This bike even has its Punch-line "Above All"... what the f*#k???

We can call this bike Karizma-Fi...coz it has PGM-Fi technology from Honda(obviously). Recently was a big flop in Glamour.

With all type of sensors(that are practically of no use) and rear disc brake, borrowed or should I say 'copied' pearl white paint scheme and golden front shock absorbers from RTR 180 , headlight looks like suzuki GS150R (atleast to me). front fairing (that looks more like a cheap aftermarket custom job) and ZMR looks like Hayabusa's, the rear portion same as Karizma-R and Tail light from CBZ-Xtreme. This bike looks XTREMELY ugly and out of proportion.
THE ONLY UNIQUE thing which I found is its Digital speedo...looks very cool and HH's hard work shows in it with RTMI (Racing Throttle Mission Impossible)...

For those of you who wants to say that it has increased 0.9 bhp from the previous karizma, so let me tell you that if you fit PGM-Fi in a 7bhp machine it will be able to produce 7.5 bhp easily.

So this new bike will not be able to change anything for HH and for others. Other bike manufacturers can relax now and don't have to worry about this disaster. This bike is not gonna fetch big money for Hero honda.

All and all, if you want to spent above 1 Lac for this Junk, don't u dare to do that. You can get 17.3 bhp power,Rear Disc brakes,white colour scheme and golden coloured shock absorbers in RTR 180, Better Looks and Wider tyres in Fazer, 21 Bhp power,rear disc in Pulsar 220 DTS-i (also with Fi), International Brand, Oil cooled engine, Better looks and Rear Disc brakes from Yamaha R15, Better choice for touring, oil cooled engine from Avenger 200 Dts-i, A bigger engine (more cc), more respect and attention from Royal Enfield Bullet.

Hope you will Make the right choice...

F#*k It,Shoot It,Forget It !!! (Hero Honda Splendour NXG)

Whenever I think of writing a review on some other ad, Hero Honda manages to grab his place by making another disastrous ad. Every time guys, every time. But I promise, in my next review there will be some other company in place of Hero Honda.

So let’s get started. This ad claims that Hero Honda bikes follow one rule- Fill it, Shut it, Forget it. Whenever I think of a HH bike, only third one come to my mind i.e. Forget it. In this ad, Splendour NXG is used but u can’t hear its name anywhere in this whole commercial ad. This ad is the perfect example of the height of stupidity and most important, PRACTALITY.

In this ad, a guy receives a msg on his cellphone that says Good Night from his GF. So to show his “squeeze” how much he loves her, he rides his bike (Yes, the NXG, to impress a girl?) to her home. To say what? Good Night!!! How romantic??? Romantic my ASS… The girl replies, “Itni door se”??? And than the moron says, “Reply toh karna hi tha”. Shithead, u have money for the petrol not for the SMS? According to the ad, it was quite far and it would’ve cost him petrol worth 5 Rs at least. It’s a small amout but replying by SMS is way more cheaper than that. And this thing is not over yet. He reaches his home and just when he sits, receives another msg saying Sweet Dreams. Than this asshole flaunts his smile while tossing his keys in his hand and rides again to…(u know where). Either the guy is rich or he owns a petrol pump. But according to the bike he has, I don't think so.

Goddamn HH guys, what the hell u are doing out there. Recession has done such thing to you that u all are completely out of your minds. Where others are making no nonsense ads than why are u making ads that are Non sense. For example, look at the new TVS Scooty Ad featuring Sania Mirza, it makes a lil bit sense sans Karizma –ish Style mud splashing on the face of one of the guy. And the last line of the ad is extremely funny. So while others are working hard (which I think) than HH should do the same. I am now tired of repeating my words again and again. Stop stop stop making crap ads otherwise in place of Fill it, shut it, forget it, people will say this---

F#*K IT, SHOOT IT, FORGET IT!!!

Leaders are the same... (2)

Similarities b/w Hero Honda and Airtel...

Just like the last time, i told u some striking similarities between HH and Maruti Suzuki, this time I m gonna tell u some similarities between HH and Airtel.

(1)Market Position- They both are the market leaders.

(2)Share Holders- Another company Honda have some share in Hero honda, Just like the vodafone have some share in Bharti Airtel.

(3)Foreign Competitors- Above companies(Honda and Vodafone) which hold few shares are,foreign based and they are direct competitors for HH and Bharti Airtel respectively.

(4)MS Dhoni- MS Dhoni is the brand ambassador of their competition i.e. TVS and Aircel.

(5)Customer Base- Both HH and Airtel have the customer base of above one crore.

(6)Rivals- The name of both of their "real" rivals starts from "B" which are now in pathetic position and they used to dominate the market in past. They are BSNL and Bajaj.

Bike = Bull !!! (Hero Honda Hunk)

I am the leader, I am the boss, I can do anything and you have to accept... sorry, tolerate it. Thats what Hero Honda thinks. If you don't believe me, than just take a look at their ads. Whenever I watch any of their crap ads, I am like...#%@*!!! As you've read my review on Glamour ad (if not, than u better read it first) ;-)

Before starting, I wanna share one more thing with you. I somewhere read that TV ads of Hero Honda are getting rave reviews. (Here I go again) Say what? Rave Reviews? Dude, whoever posted that he/she was ill...I mean mentally. Tell me, where the hell are you guys are getting rave reviews of your ads? Am I living in third world? This or That ad of Hero Honda is awesome,I never saw that kind of ad, have any one of you heard that??? But I've heard about the Pulsarmania ad, which was...SUPERB(no, not skoda superb). HH guys,once just once read any of my review on your ads. You will sure quit the job of Hero Honda. Atleast Hero Honda always gets rave reviews about the products. But c'mon, not the ads.

So after few and quite interesting trailors or spoilers or teasers or...whatever they call them, there comes the ad. The ad of the product which will help them to survive above 125cc segment (thats what they think). In your dreams Hero Honda. The customer of this product is mainly youth, and what we think, is different from the customers of 100c bikes. We just don't look at the logo of the company, and blindly buy the bike no matter how high the price is!!! Half lakh, yes just look at this way, most of the people spend half a lakh, nearly 50,000 Rs. for a mere 100cc bike???

Now back to the topic... In this ad, a guy is riding the bike through some mountain area or whatever. Just look at the helmet.Is this the kind of helmet u wear while riding a 150cc bike???
Anyway,no big deal till now. Suddenly the guy saw a group of bulls in his way. Normal people like us would have changed the route or just waited for the bulls to move away from there. But this guy, this maniac, this guy from other world,with his bike "Transforms" into another big bull that scares away all the other bulls. Are you a son of magician or Hero Honda Hunk have a button somewhere that transforms the bike into a bull??? This shit is not finished here. They have launched a so called Special Edition which have a logo of standing bull on its rear two legs(can't stop laughing). And with both red alloys... That reminded me of CBZ-Xtreme with rear red wheel and front black wheel which is a huge hit among various circus in our country. Yes, that bike just favours the character of clown with one red and another black alloy wheel(no offence to the buyers of that bike). This ad of Special Edition Hunk is still on air with minor changes done to the original ad. They should have transformed the Special edition hunk into the bull... with red legs, a red racing stripe along his back and red horns. LMAO.

Anyway, I think HH guys have somehow heard about my reviews because their latest ad of Hero Honda Passion Pro is nice. I really like this ad. No crap, no super powers, no non-sense, just the right projection of the product with its features. There, you got it. See HH, its not that hard. So stop torturing us with your horrible ads and make some good ads.Believe it or not, I own a CBZ(the old one) and few other members of my family own other Hero Honda bikes. So this proves I am not a paid guy from Bajaj or any other company which loves to criticize ads, price and products of Hero honda. But here's another thing that I am soon going to sell off my CBZ and buy a Yamaha :D

Leaders are the same... (1)

Maruti Suzuki and Hero Honda, both companies are totally different but according to me they are very similar to each other. Let me explain this...

1) Leaders- Both industries are lead by these JV's i.e. Joint Ventures of Hero Honda and Maruti Suzuki.

2)Rivals- Both leaders have desi rivals against them and they both are far behind because of quality issues.Hero Honda's rival is Bajaj, Maruti Suzuki's rival is Tata.

3)Rivals 2- They both have another desi rival which is ahead of them in another segment. (I think) Hero Honda's desi rival is TVS which leads scooty segment and Maruti Suzuki's desi rival is Mahindra & Mahindra which leads SUV segment by scorpio.

4)Honda- This company is the common competitor for both.

5)Cross Competitions- Mahindra and Mahindra has entered in two wheeler segment by acquiring Kinetic motors and Bajaj is soon going to launch cheap four wheeler with the help of Renault-Nissan.

6)Survival- Their first desi rivals are surviving in the industry by many forms(models) of only one product. Bajaj is surviving by pulsar 150,180,200 and 220 and recently launched xcd 135 which bajaj says is inspired by pulsar. Tata is surviving by Indica, Xeta, Indigo, Marina, CS, and the recently launched Indica Vista.

7)Foreign Competitions- Both are badly hit by foreign competitions. Hero Honda by Yamaha and Honda,Maruti Suzuki by Hyundai and Honda.

8)Support- Both are known for their widely spread customer support and service centers.

8) Last Name- Maruti Suzuki has the name Suzuki which is a competitor of Hero Honda, and Hero Honda has the name Honda which is a competitor of Maruti Suzuki. ;-)

Apart from this, they both have major differences-
New Launches- Hero Honda is somewhat or very lazy in launching new models, this company believes in upgrading its existing models but Maruti Suzuki constantly launches super cool new models.

Value for money- Maruti Suzuki provides value for money for its cars, whereas Hero Honda makes a fool out of people by selling small 100cc bikes for a whooping 45-47,000 Rs. More to come...

Bak Bak Go (Hero Honda Karizma)

Some of the ads are interesting, some are not. The one which is being shown again and again nowadays is of Karizma.

Today I am going to rip off tv ad of HH Karizma.

First, few words about the bike. Hero Honda Karizma is overall a good bike. but it is NOW dated. HH guys did some cosmetic changes in the previous model by adding some graphics and a small engine guard. Wow, that makes the bike super cool and super fast. NO. Mind you, no engine changes, no extra power, no rear disc brake nothing. While competitors Bajaj introduced much powerful, good looking, full of the features etc. etc. and Yamaha introduced R15 with 150cc engine with same power as Karizma, killer looks but you have to shell out more money for that.

So HH thought it should tell the consumers about the changes in this bike through its ad. Hrithik Roshan is the brand ambassador of this company along with some cricketers and Priyanka Chopra. I don’t know what the hell was in their mind when they approved the ad for telecasting. It is rubbish, far from reality, born from a shit-head mind AD. It doesn’t mean that if you have Hrithik Roshan than you can do everything with the help of this bike. There is no need to wash your bike, you just have to ride it fast while doing wheelie and mud will wipe off. Are we f*#king stupid to believe that??? No at all, but the one who created this ad. THIS AD SUCKS. And these a*$holes still air this ad on tv, and check out this one…near the end of this ad, the guy says “ALL NEW STRIKING KARIZMA” or something like that. Somebody tell this guy its not “STRIKING NEW” anymore. It is old, dated and very slow (power vise) compared to P220 and R15. HH please learn something from your competitors even if you are the market leader or No.1 from last 8 years. Look at some of the bajaj ads, some of the TVS Apache ads.

F#*k you Hero Honda and don’t make such ads which makes me (and some of you guys out there) to punch or break or blast my TV set. And what is this DHAK DHAK GO??? The beginning of this ad is awesome and mysterious, a guy which is ready to land on a helipad through sky with help of helicopter. But after that, the AD turns into a hoax, disaster, crap, shit (please suggest me more such words)… It has a full length song with dance of Hrithik Roshan and some cricketers and Priyanka Chopra. SONGS are not used in the ads, these are called JINGLES, which are much shorter. Got it??? No problem if the ad is too long but it has to be interesting, thrilling and it should tell the consumers about the product features. Just like the PULSARMANIA ad which is now banned. The best ad I’ve ever seen. Believe me Hero Honda, a majority of viewers out their just change the channel because of the above two ads. This is not good for you and definitely not for that TV channel.

I call this ad BAK BAK GO, because I want HH to stop its BAK-BAK and just GO. Think something new about the bike and its ad.


......NEXT UP- HH GLAMOUR......
