Pretty old school I'd go for Yamaha XTZ Lander 250 or something like that or maybe something like a KLR , just for the sake of simplicity but these talks are bullocks as theres no soon these bikes are coming here.

    Sad state of dual sport motorcycles in India.
    What are your views on Himalayan bike?

    Planning to purchase a Used Hero Impulse yay or nay?

    Hey guys,
    Having a tough time deciding, so i thought i should hit the forum.
    I currently own a tvs jupiter thats done hardly 9500km in a year or so, i was thinking of purchasing a used Hero Impulse for daily/offroad-ish use. I seemed to like the enduro/mx body design. Hence the thoughts.

    Can someone help me out with a short review?

    If the bike suffers from any problems please list them out.

    Thank you

    My next plan is to try and see if we can fit a duke200 engine into this. Will keep this thread updated incase it works out well.
    It has a lot more stuff, radiator and other things too

    If D200 engine is not possible, try the bs4 pulsar220 or rtr200 engine.

    Must update the work.
    Cheers.

    Hehe, well I must say it all turned out like that due to the screwed up deal I got while purchasing this used impulse. My mechanic put all his efforts and it resulted into this blissful ride. I learnt a lot while getting my bike rebuilt.
    Everyone who takes her for a spin comes back with a large grin !!

And if you want to get a bigger carb too, then add may be 3-4k more. I am using existing carb with suitable main jet for best result.
    The stroke is more or less same or I'd say may be even a bit shorter as the connector and crank were were also replace during all this process.

    Damn that's sad to hear..
