The latest Karizma is new from the ground up with teaser images of the motorcycle revealing that it will feature a sporty and edgy design. The teasers suggest a fully faired design for the motorcycle with the angular headlamp housing the familiar H-pattern LED DRL. The overall design is expected to be based around a sports tourer rather than an outright sport bike. The riding position is also expected to be less committed than on a sports bike in a bid to make it a more comfortable option for commuting.
