Model : Hastur

Hero has pulled a rabbit out of its hat to unveil a 600cc street-naked concept bike, the Hastur. The Hastur carries the impact of an aggressive motorcycle, its street-fighter look completed thanks to minimalistic bodywork. The front headlight comprises two projector lamps, and gives a predatory impression. The motorcycle’s instruments are set on the tank. Bar end mirrors sit mounted on either side of the relatively flat handlebars, with alloy finished, reach adjustable clutch and brake levers.

A meaty tank casing makes up most of the Hastur’s bodywork, blending nicely under the rider seat. Black casing below the tank covers all the bike's electricals, adding to its masculine image. Sharp shrouds near the cylinder head bay house a set of clear lens LED indicators. Both rider and pillion seats are finished in velvet, with decorative yellow stitching for the front seat. Rear-set footrests, along with an aggressive seating position, provide the Hastur a sporty stance, with a slight lean forward into the handlebars.
