I am an owner of a Hero Impulse. Here are my following observations:
1) Engine power is quite less for a 134 Kg bike. It should have at least 30 Bhp. I tried riding it on the beach in loose sand and was scared the engine will stall due to lack of power.
2) The wheelbase is 1360 mm is quite less which has reduced the braking. I did 60kms and when I hit the brakes the bike dragged for about 5 meters to come to a full stop. So, the wheelbase has to be increased as the height of the vehicle is high.
3) Front disk brakes are not efficient as it doesn't lock immediately due to the weight. Also it will be better to replace the brake and clutch levers with dog legged levers. Which will give more ply to increase or the best one will be replace them with KBX(Kalyani Brakes).
4) Suspension is very nice after about 3000 Kms for even bad roads.
5) The serious thing to be corrected is the rear wheel wobbling when we change from one gear to another. So there should not be any compromise on even a micro wobbling from the wheel bearings or stay as the vehicle is high which is quite obvious.
