Hero XPulse/XPulse Pro 200

So, took the Pro out for an hour today and even managed an unmade road:

Comfortable for me (tall).
Smooth engine and gearbox.
If you work it like a 411 Himmie it gets up to speed no problem and is fine in traffic fast or slow flowing.
Took it up to an indicated 65 and it had a bit more so 70 easy enough I think but that would be top.
A bit of wind noise but that’s fixable.
Handling was great on the tarmac and rough road. standing was fine but I would roll the bars forward to give me more room - like a typical Indian bike it rode the rough stuff better sitting down. I rode the rough road on my GS on the way home for a comparison.
The suspension was excellent, smoothed out the bumps and no major dive under heavy front brake (obviously I wasn’t going 100mph 😁)
I would have the seat redone for a flat bench - which is easy enough I’ve been told.

The main takeaway for me is that it’s an easy and relaxing bike to ride. No problem changing gear with my size 48 Toucans.
All in all a cracker 👍
