Hero MotoCorp Formerly Hero Honda today Launched Hero Impulse. A very niche category motorcycle for Indian market. The bike itself looks pretty with nice graphics and pretty color tones.
I specially like the Orange ( KTM like) color. This is the second shot by an indian manufacturer in this category, the previous being Bajaj with their Enduro SX in 1990's which flopped instantly, thanks to no demand for such kind of vehicles during those days.
The flowing lines from front to back with the exhaust just below the seat like in enduro motorcycles is a classic. The proportions of Impulse are excellent with around 830mm height and ling front forks.
The engine is 150CC producing 13.5 bhp of power which is pretty standard for 150 CC's . The heart is the same as used in CBZ, Hunk, etc . So expect the same kind of refinement.
The rear tail lamps are a let down. They look pretty dull and do not work with the bright color tones of the bike. The bike is very reasonably priced at nearly Rs. 67,000 ex showroom delhi. Let us see how the market receives the bike this diwali.
