It may be noted that the XRE 300 will become the second-ever such bike to launch in India. Hero MotoCorp has already tested the waters with the Impulse. The Hero Impulse is nothing but an 'Indian-ised' version of the Honda NXR 150 Bros. While the Impulse couldn't fare too well on the sales charts, it did have a niche market appeal. Now, it seems HMSI is readying itself to jump into this almost uncharted territory with its XRE 300 Adventure bike.
