Auto Expo 2012: LIVE UPDATES: Auto expo 2012 thread

[sunilg]

Right beside the Hall #18, where the Hero Moto stall is, they have made a small off-road sort of closed track where some the Impulse stunt team is performing stunts and also they are giving free test ride to whoever comes with a DL.

I also managed to get a small test ride. It didn't last more than 2 mins, but here is my little 'first impression' based on that test ride that was only in 1st gear

1. The bike looks impressive.
2. Wouldn't be very comfortable for short guys.
3. The engine is super refined and smooth. Reminds me of my Unicorn.
4. Will definitely feel underpowered on the highways.
5. And the first thing that comes to mind when you sit on this bike is "off-road." It entices you to play with it and do some crazy stuff with it.

here are some pics

Finally the beast roared.... yesterday too, the guys at the stall had somehow put a restrain on themselves from giving a throttle response to the Ducati's being revved inside the hall. I was so desperate to hear the two brother's exhaust note fitted onto the Ninja. It must have been some good competition.
