India or abroad?

You can expect something just less than Unicorn, Dazzler, Extreme and Hunk as Impulse’s is a short stroke engine. But considering the lesser weight, it may perhaps be slightly better than these bikes.
Just out of curiosity: in what sense is Impulse an off-road bike? Off road riding involves going through mud, deep loose sandy soil and uphill which inevitably needs high torque. In that sense, if Impulse is an off roader, Extreme, Hunk and many other bikes of its class are better ones as their power and torque are higher than Impulse.
Or, placing the exhaust pipe under the seat to provide higher ground clearance and higher centre of gravity which results severe imbalance makes it off roader?
Just out of curiosity as Honda NXR 150 Bros, the original of Impulse is not there in the list of Honda off road or even dual purpose bikes here; not to start another key board world war.

India ofc.
Its costing me ~3k with shipping in any foreign site

What ever you have mentioned here ( going through muc, deep loose sandy soil, uphill) all of them have been done on impulse by different people and there are numerous videos here in xbhp as well as other places. They have made the point tha impulse has done it fairly acceptable.

I personally feel it cannot just fit the off-road title as it could be a very good commuter + sport + utility + touring bike. I have done all of them except touring. Impulse plays these roles fairly well. As a commuter, impulse gives a fatigue free ride in good / bad / ugly road combination which is the case here in India for us. Especially for tall fellas like me, its a boon. So I personaly feel he term trans-road vehicle fits it genuinely.

VFM is what you call impulse

Same stroke, same engine as the CBZ Xtreme / Hunk / Unicorn / NXR150 Bros / CRF150F (2006-). All of them would be in different states of tune, thats the only difference.

@ Abid, dont know any local site which sells quality handguards, 3K sounds about right from abroad, will still be cheaper than the KTM hand-guards, which BTW wont fit without changing the impulse levers.

I especially like these

You seem to have not read me correctly. If Impulse is an off roader, any 100 and above cc bike in our market is an off roader as each of them moves through muddy, sandy surfaces and goes uphill. Please compare the specifications of the bikes available here.
Trans-roader means off-roader; if I am correct. Impulse with 13 bhp at 7500 rpm and 13.4 Nm at 5000 rpm is another ordinary 150 cc bike; nothing else and it can surely be ridden through mud, sand, shallow water or anywhere else as any other bike.
And acceptance of the performance of a bike depends the person riding it. Some of us prefer the performance of Bullet Classic to Ninja 250R and vice-versa. According to me, GS150R performs better than Hayabusa even though nobody else agrees with me.
It is heard that the tyres of a certain bike is not available out of the SC as it is a special tyre for that bike only. Yet we are ready to buy that bike. Hiding the negatives and projecting the positives – even though imaginary as the under the seat exhaust pipe ‘technology’ of Impulse or 6 sparkplug technology of another bike – is marketing. Some manufacturers fail; some others succeed. I am not sure whether Impulse is a failure or not in the market but it seems some of us are victims of the marketing gimmicks of Hero.
As said earlier, not to start or participate in any key board atomic war.

Please tell me how the tuning is different or what you mean by tuning and what is the effect of it on the performance of the bike? As far as I know, Impulse is the exact copy of NXR150 Bros 2012.

According to the Hero Moto Corp PR team, trans-roader means a vehicle which can go from 1 road to another even if they have some small obstacles between them.

The gearing of the impulse is quite different from Hero Xtreme or Hunk.

Does impulse play soft with our back and gives a comfortable long ride than any other 150s?? I see many say that, is that true??

Who said it is the same? This is the gear ratios of Extreme and Hunk:
Primary: 3.50, Final: 3.071, 1^st: 3.077, 2^nd: 1.789, 3^rd: 1.304, 4^th: 1.091, 5^th: 0.938. Rear tire: 100/90-18.
Impulse:
Primary: 3.50, Final: 2.941, 1^st: 3.077, 2^nd: 1.789, 3^rd: 1.304, 4^th: 1.091, 5^th: 0.938. Rear tyre: 110/90-17.
You can compare the gear ratios. The gear ratios of Impulse was collected from this thread itself; I think but I am not sure about it. Corrections if any are most welcome.
And it can jump 9.90 cms higher obstacles than Hunk/Extreme can do.

I dont see the point to the conversation but here I go

#1 There is nothing like a "trans-roader", either we have road/sport, dual purpose, dirt/mx etc. The term trans-roader is just Hero trying to be different, the Impulse is just a plain dual purpose small capacity bike.
#2 Ground clearance and the chassis design play an important role here, agreed one can off-road on any bike, even an Aprilia RSV4 but how comfortable are you going to be doing it?
...the gearbox ratios on the impulse are the same as the other 150cc Honda mills, its the cam profile and maybe the fuelling which differs to account for the miniscule changes in power.

To give you a better example; the engine which does service in the Ninja 650R doubles up as a dual purpose mill on the Versys 650

Google is your best friend!

The term “trans-roader” is not my gift; it belongs to joeantony.
How different is the ‘cam profile’ of Impulse different from other bikes we compared? Asking as it seems you know the difference correctly. However, I have decided to go through these links to learn about it but only if it is easy.

That is not correct. Ninja is more powerful but it does not double as you said. Versys 650, 2012 with 649 CC, 83x60 bore x stroke and 10.6:1 compression ratio delivers 64 bhp at 8000 rpm and 62 Nm torque at 6800 rpm while Ninja 650, 2012 with the same engine but with 11.3:1 compression ratio delivers 72.1 bhp at 8500 rpm and 64 Nm at 7000 rpm. The compression ratio makes the difference; I think. If the speed is different, compare the gear ratios as two bikes - one with 1.00 bhp and another with 100.00 bhp - reaches the same speed if the gearing is same but the time to reach there, the rate of acceleration, differs and the bike with more power and torque wins the race.
Take everything in an easy mood. Let us try to learn; not to attack. We are Indians and all Indians are our brothers and..... It is a pity that anything like this is not taught in our primary schools nowadays.
Nice pictures of Ninja and Versys.

@punarvasu : you remind me of the old xbhp days

"doubles up" as in not double in power
