Hero Patents a Dual-Sport Adventure Bike Based on the Hunk 150R
PHOTOBIKEWALE↗ View original

Hero MotoCorp has filed a patent for a dual-sport adventure motorcycle based on the Hunk 150R, sold in Bangladesh and Nepal. Its raised mudguard and high-mounted exhaust echo the discontinued Impulse 150, and the design appears aimed at export markets such as South America and Africa rather than India, where the donor model is no longer sold.

From the patent drawings you can clearly make out the raised front mudguard and high-mounted exhaust. The tail lamp looks borrowed from the Xtreme 125R or XPulse 210, and the headlight resembles the Xtreme 160R's. A carbureted engine with a kickstarter feels almost quaint, but for markets like South America and Africa, easy field repairs are exactly the point. The face reminds me of the old Impulse 150.

Going carbureted for emerging markets in this day and age feels backwards

Carb and kickstart at least means cheap repairs

Not selling it in India... feels like this patent might just stay a patent

That Impulse 150 face brings back memories
