As for the product updates, Hero MotoCorp would soon introduce a fully-faired 200 cc motorcycle, which was recently spied in production-ready guise. Details are scarce, but a possibility is that it will arrive as a Karizma model. It will most likely be built on the Xtreme 200R's platform and share the engine with the same model. So, expect to see a 199.6 cc single-cylinder, 2-valve, SOHC, air-cooled motor producing 18.4 PS of maximum power and 17.1 Nm of peak torque. We expect the model to debut with a carburettor engine, with a switch to fuel-injection version happening with the BS-VI upgrade.
