Just checked in on this thread. First of all , kudos to hero for bringing the fun bike to India. Time will show the full extent to which this bike finds its buyers. Who knows if it goes on to become a dhoodhwala favourite bike.
I will buy this for its fun factor. Saree guard on such bikes has to be made of cheaper materials like plastic for eg. , I have seen a lot of comments in the thread beginning where people want to take them off.

Yes, the Impulse isn't practical to commute to say to office or to the market, especially with not so young ladies as pillion.
It will remain a niche bike. Therefore the 223 cc engine of the ZMA would have made the Impulse much more appealing though.Last edited by Biker_Rohit; 10-29-2011, 07:55 PM.Leave a comment:

Thats true. Payeng had already posted his similar views on this thread that this will become a second bike in garage but will never be the first or only bike one will haveLast edited by niks_devil666; 10-29-2011, 07:46 PM.Leave a comment:

Very few people will be interested in a bike like the impulse. Someone like niks_devil who already owns has a couple of bikes and can afford to have another one can go for the impulse as another buy.
But for normal (99.9 %) of Indians, a bike like the impulse isn't practical to be the only bike in his garage.Last edited by Biker_Rohit; 10-29-2011, 07:42 PM.Leave a comment:

None of the magazines were able to test the bike on bad roads or trails where the bikes forte is. A comprehensive review should include travel on village potholed roads and some hilly trails and rocky leh laddakh roads.
Moreover no FE , top speed and acceleration stats have been given by anyone so far.Leave a comment:

Not yet, at least no body from the xHq.Originally posted by itssaurabh.negi View Post
Firstly, there haven't been many bike launches in the last 1 year and out of the GT650, Ninja 650, CBR 250, Diavel, and R15 V2 reviews published in the magazine in the last few issues, only the R15 couldn't make it to the forum. All others were posted on forum before they came in the magazine. The Suzuki Slingshot, Apache 180, Yamaha SZ-X remained on forum only and didn't make it to the magazine.Originally posted by niks_devil666 View PostLast edited by sunilg; 10-25-2011, 11:57 PM.Leave a comment:

Looks like a skinny 100cc bike to me.Originally posted by vipin_s View PostAfter seeing Autocar/Zigwheels reviews, there's no doubt Impulse is a great value for money, b'cos you get more for the same price of a ordinary boring 150cc bikes in the market.
It has very comfy seating stance making it a great bike for both city roads and occasional off-roading.
The biggest plus of impulse is Honda's proven power plant.
