    Tell me a Indian manufacturer who has not copied anything from any Foreign manufacturer ???,,,,,,,
    Man,if the Impulse is copied from a honda,then no body complained....as we cant have access to that bike here.
    The thing is,why the same design and engine and price with different names...??
    Atleast they could have changed the headlight design to distinguish...
    Any body would confuse a Igniter with a stunner.
    Any ways I wd still say,its good for them and bad for Honda...
    And no way is Honde replacing the stunners soon,...

      Auto experts say they could be these following models:

      • Glamour X-FI Pro (pronounced Glamour Sci-fi Pro) with all-new dual-tone body graphics and new color options like fluorescent Yellow/Green/Orange and contrasting alloys! (based on Stunner PGM-FI)
      • spRoketor (stunning name combining splendor+sprocket and sounding like Rocket) based on Unicorn Dazzler gene with 'improvised' body graphics (..again!)
      • Splendor+++ Pro NXG- Company statement reads 'a new +++ Pro NXG branding to ignite the pulse of Indian heros and(..you get it)
      • Activator (named after Activa+Aviator) is a brand-new scooter to capture the minds of style-conscious commuters, based on a re-styled and tweaked-yes you got it right-Aviator!
      • CD 250 -shocking product with CBR250R engine & gearbox mated to a CD Dawn!

      P.S: just for fun! peace
      hehe,,,super like,But I seriously doubt if Hero really even knows how to mate engines and gear boxes on different chassis... !!!.. but,but,but....if they do wot u have said,then hats off 2 Hero for an awesum start....

          4. Ok last one I promise! With Passion X and Ignitor the great Indian tradition for naming bikes like cheap condoms featuring naked chicks on the cover contiues...(I am saying Indian coz other desi corps like TVS are also responsible for such stupid names i.e., FLAME)
          lol....

          Japs: What do you want? technical perfection or world domination?

          Munjals: I dont want to takenickel.

          Japs: ahh...gaijin, it must be fate that wants you to be the successor to our secret ninja mind control techniques of world domination. Wear these sacred panties on your head and meditate on life.

          So today, whenever we think of hero honda, we subconsciously see images of glamourous karishmas igniting xtreme passions of impulsive hunks.....and we immediately have an urge to go buy their bikes. Some people still wonder why they are the #1 bik3 seller in the world.....

          Forgive the crude representation on my part as well. All in the name of *kaam*edy.

          hehe,,,super like,But I seriously doubt if Hero really even knows how to mate engines and gear boxes on different chassis... !!!
          Well, hero honda might have no idea about gearboxes but they definitely seem to know a lot about mating.

          lol.....next they'll release Passion XXX Gro B1G.

              As far as I remeber.. Honda was working on Unicorn and Stunner Upgrade. So might be possible that they have given the upgraded version of flop product to HMC.

              BTW did anyone think.. How much would HMC charge for fairing for Ignitor.. I mean.. Karizma fairing costs a bomb.. so for a Premium commuter bike... I believe they would try to charge a bomb again... The repair bill of Ignitor will Ignite the Asses of owners.

                What Honda has, Hero doesnt (R&D, new platforms)
                What Hero has, Honda doesnt (Money, infrastructure, an effing huge supply chain, a wide spread network)

                By the time Hero is ready with its 'other' partners, it would have tightened the grip enough to perhaps squash Honda balls.

                Remember Hero can sell this product internationally too!

                So the over priced CBF stunner, could get a slightly cheaper "better" HMC equivalent in India and/or worldwide! The ever delayed Honda scoots now have ready available Hero equivalent!

                I for one, think its the smartest thing HMC has done for a while!

                and I curiously wait at the CBR based product from HMC!
                +1
                and I am sure it will outshine stunner in sales....as hero has a huge chain of showrooms.....

                      From the looks of the ^above posts. I Doubt it now
                      People still think this decision isnt mutual between HMC and HMSI
                      Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                          Nobody seems to take Hero seriously..

                          ..but the fact remains that at the end of the day, they somehow do manage to sell (at least the commuter bikes) in millions.

                            Sir,

                            Right said. Hero with its wide network will sell more numbers compared to Honda alikes. (Commuters)

                            But would be interested to purchase a Hero ZMR Plus ?
