Au contraire, the Bullet was originally designed by the Brits as a trails bike.

Used by troops in WWII in atrocious deep mud.

And by the Indian Army across the highest mountain terrain in the world.

You will be surprised to know that the "heavy" old Bullets we guys rode 20 years ago had a kerb weight of just 180 kilos.

And the "latest and greatest" Himalayan adventure bike by them is close to 200 kilos.

At least the new one is a claimed 40 bhp. The old one was 24 bhp, and felt like 16.

Cheers, Doc

Developed a taste for choor choor naan. Amritsari. With chole or aaloo ka rassa.

XPulse is a 200 cc bike. More road oriented chassis than its 150 cc rally sibling the Impulse.

Both are great off road. Impulse better. But both struggle to hit and hold 100 on road.

Cheers, Doc

Grapevine buzzing that Hero is developing a 400 cc Impulse.

That would be great for picking up Russian/Ukranian chicks in north Goa.

Cheers, Doc

there is another grapewaine that Bajaj is thinking of launching a twin cylinder type KTM and its pulsar sibling like DUCATI multistrada thats more like a parellel twin 650cc twin cylinder configuration or a V2 degrees cylinders in 70 degrees setup

bajaj very early wanted to launch something like enifields 650 eliminator but later dropped the plan but maybe this new configuration which soon be staring testing

They have a lot of money invested. Lekin Bajaj ki tarah aggressive nahin hai company. Mujhe frankly Hero products kaafi downmarket lagte hain. Except these offroaders.

Yup, usi engine ka parallel twin, I also heard some time back.

Good trend, ab bas Vs bhi shuru kar de, mazaa aa jayega.. Vs ki look hi alag hoti hai, sound bhi alag hota hai..

Oops sorry I read Hero.

You are talking of the Triumph street sport I think. Very sexy. Based on the Speed 400 platform.

Lekin woh single hai ...

They already developed the KTM 790 parallel twin.

A few of my friends have it.

Limited run of 100 bikes in India.
