Hero Karizma XMR vs Yezdi Roadster Comparison

The Hero Karizma XMR brings back a legendary name in Indian motorcycling with a modern twist, offering strong performance and a stylish design. Its refined engine, comfortable riding posture, and good handling make it an attractive option for both daily use and long rides. However, minor issues like gear shift precision and build quality keep it from being flawless. Priced competitively, the Karizma XMR is well-positioned in its segment, appealing to both new riders and those seeking a piece of nostalgia.

As an everyday motorcycle, the Yezdi Roadster's engine has been tuned for precisely that kind of use; short dashes around town, and for the occasional long-ish jaunt. The stance and overall design of the Yezdi Roadster are somewhat of a hit and miss, and even in the dynamics front, the Jawa Forty-Two feels more agile and planted. But if it's a true-blue nostalgia-filled Yezdi you're looking for, the Yezdi Roadster still looks the closest to the old 250 cc two-stroke Yezdi bikes from the '70s.
