    ^^^^ Saw another red one in Malleshwaram....it definitely looks good in the flesh. The rear section is a bit fat though.

    The Impulse looks great no doubt, makes me wonder whether the bike has the grit to be termed off roader / enduro styled... It is a ditto carbon copy of a Honda motorcycle, with the branding changing from Honda to Hero Motocorp.

    On paper, the Unicorn and Impulse share same if not similar specs... the bike even uses the Unicorns fork and shocks... And here I spent so much time and money on my Unicorn to give here off roading abilities...

    I think the Impulse should have better torque figures soley due to the larger final drive sprocket, so that should give it the off road edge and its need for constant high torque...

    but yes anyone who has riden / tested the motorcycle, please update...

    That is bit depressing, a regular 150 cc exhaust note do not fit the looks of this bike but I believe mods will be available to make it sound better.

    Seems like I have to pass it off.

    Those who tested this bike, is this really an off-roader OR it just looks like an off-roader?

    I mean, will the engine really pull up a solo ride on a mucked (yougurt) like uphill/road?

    Again I do not intend to compare the others with this motorcycle. Since these are distinct categories.
    I know that I'm little / too optimistic about this one since my mind says Something Is Better Than Nothing!
    If we need best of the breed then we need to show inclination towards this, so that others will follow.
    BTW anybody so the Polaris
    yes these ATV's are a real fun to ride, i have the opportunity to ride these Polaris ATV quite often, and believe they are real fun.

    well, i have not seen the welds closely in CBR, but in CBR these welds may be covered in fairings, here these welds are exposed. so if they are covered, what matters is only strength, whereas if they are exposed, they need to have strength as well as proper finishing. and regarding the comparison with CBR, many are not very happy with the quality of initial CBR's.
