    Yes its in the website...
    Remember this thread is about Impulse, and I had a test ride two days back.. Its powerless but hero has not made this bike to be powerful, but I like the bike.... But I aint buying it...
    There was a feed back form given after the test ride, and the last question was what is to be done to make the bike spectacular...?? And I answered to change the 150cc mill to a 250cc one... The trainee there was like
    Lol, you wish HMC R&D would work on producing their own 250cc mill or borrow it from CBR?!
    In today's world, quotes don't matter. Quotas do!

    • There was a mention in this thread, that the pillion driver is at risk due to the raised silencer and it getting heated up very soon. This bike which is acutally a rebadged Honda bike, would it be possible that Honda would not have thought about it while providing pillion seater on this bike? I dont think a company like Honda would have missed it.

      If the riders claim is true then i think that the only possibilty was that Hero Moto would have made some cost cutting in the area of heat control to achieve the targeted sale price.

                    If I were the head of the R&D team, I will take the CBR engine before the partnership eventually breaks up....

                    • just saw the new Impulse ad....
                      for the 1st time,I actually liked a Hero ad...they are showing only the bike and its capability, and not some stupid music videos or crappy scenes of bikes jumping over the oceans and cliffs , Babes and Hritik ....
                      it seems atlast they have grown up.... long way to go....

                        Yes, they have matured a lot in adverts and I like it.

                        In the advert, they're promoting it as "India's first trans-roader" which prima-facie means travelling from one road to another.
                        Now, that ain't exactly off road, or is it? Maybe they claim it can be used on variety of roads: good, bad, ugly, etc. although the advert itself shows off roading...

                          but i don't think there will be too many buyers for this bike at current price and 150 CC engine.

                              Hi Prince,
                              Wait till the bookings open. Do we have any other good option for off roading? unless M1030-M2 is launched at auto expo. I might book it, it's one of a kind...
                              Regards,

                                OT: I wonder where does the news that M1030-M2 will be sold for 1.5-2 lac has its roots from. Since this article clearly says that it sells for $18,000.

                                Anyways, Thanks Nikhil for the review.
                                Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                                Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
