Coming from a duke 390, this is so much fun to ride and i dont have to worry about potholes anymore. Waiting for the temporary registration to come in and then i shall exploit her to the fullest
    Nice pics bro. Ride safe!

    Where did you buy from? I thought they stopped making them. :O

        Coming from 43bhp to 14? How is the bike to ride?
        Performance with pillion?
        Overtaking ?
        Cruising speed?
        I too have a desire to get a new/used Impulse.
        Any day a better choice than RE Himalayan.


        Enjoy the ride
        Ride safe.
        Cheers..

          Thanks man. I got her from Meerut. A friend did all the hard work for me to find her.

            Thanks man. The bike rides brilliantly. Yes, I sure can feel the power loss but it's manageable. Haven't ridden her much but it's as good as any 150cc with literally zero vibrations. The suspension is bliss on our roads.

              Funny but I sold my KTM Duke200 back in 2014 to buy the Hero Impulse with the sole intention to go far, not fast. KTM suffered from lot of off road mishaps leading me to eventually sell it and downsize to Impulse. But the decision then wise and hard fruited in terms i wouldn't have imagined.

              With 40000+kms now on the ODO it has propelled me to places unimaginable and still don't regret coming down from 23hp duke to a 150cc Impulse. Great to see another dual-sport enthusiast in the midst of a storm of faired and semi-faired street bikes. Great to see the dual sport adventure culture still thriving with the sole purpose bike (Impulse) ever made by any Indian firm.

                Thanks a lot man. Yes, the Impulse gives you the confidence to go anywhere. Even many people have asked me the same question that why I downgraded from a duke 390 to a 150cc motorcycle.

                I hope the 40k kms you have done on the Impulse were niggle free. Wish you many more miles. Ride safe

                  Ask me, I upgraded from D390 to TNT600, and then downsized to a supersized Impulse (200cc) lol !
                  No regrets, only enjoying every single day with it.
                  Although eagerly waiting for KTM Adventure 390 now
                  Ride what you Love !!

                                Nope, existing engine, just re-bored to the size to fit karizma piston in it. Resulting in 200cc of displacement. I had a 180cc setup before this with apache rtr piston.
