    The tank looks like that of ZMA or derived from it.
    Not sure of this will ever make it to Production.
    No engine specs or any other details revealed.
    Disappointing.

              Buddy, I do not know why my post disturbed you. I was just mentioning what i saw.
              The tanks may not be the same but they looks similar in design. ZMA tank for reference.

              And, I am disappointed because, none of the concepts like HX250, Hastur which were unveiled years ago, made it to Production yet. They have already stopped production of Impulse (Hence the name XPulse? replacement for Impulse?), ZMA R, regular Xtreme and Hunk.
              A Hero fan here who has owned Splendor, Hunk in the past and who owns a ZMA now.

                You are absolutely right!

                Infact, the concept bike has the engine borrowed from the ZMR! That is the Karizma ZMR engine as well!

                Dont expect HX250R or the Hastur to be launched any time soon! If you do! You are in for a great disappointment!!

                        Apart from the salty comments from wannabe SBK owners, This concept looks very practical and ticks most of my checklist. If they can deliver a domestic dual purpose, It would be a very welcome entrant to a void in the largest 2 wheeler market in the field of dual sports. And i think commuter-is look and performance is a positive. What you guys have against us commuters . Efficiency is a big factor. #While the world is trying to go Electric, Some of us still hoovering over big IC which are grossly Non-sustainable for India.
