I bought Kinetic Flyte (Silver) on Feb 8, 2008 from Aadya Motors, B’lore. I had taken the test ride of Suzuki Access 125 and Kinetic
Flyte. I settled on Kinetic Flyte as I found Suzuki Access 125 a bit bulky to handle (may be due to my height 5’ 3") and I was thinking that my sister may ride it some day. Aadya Motors sales people were courteous. The vehicle was delivered on time with all formalities handled by them without my involvement. I just had to visit the showroom thrice - once for test ride, second time to handover the cheque and third time (when notified by them) to take delivery of the vehicle. It was good to know that number plates (with number) were affixed by them free of charge.
What I like about Kinetic Flyte
- Instant purchase delivery. No booking time.
- Accessories are priced reasonable (I had all the accessories installed under 1,500 sum).
- Looks. As I ride on road, I find it eye-catching with people watching it when I’m at signal stops.
- Large under seat storage space
- Smooth and Comfy ride
- Engine Sound
- Well explained user manual
What I would like to see improved in next version of Flyte
- Brake lock. Comes handy at traffic signals when you have to wait for green light for minutes on a non-flat road. Holding the brake for more than few seconds seems painful to me.
- Brake response. Though the brake do slow down the vehicle but it takes quite a bit while (5 secs+) to come to halt even when I’m riding at 30-40kmph.
- Fuel tank capacity. At all instances of reference in the manual, there is mention of 5 Litre capacity followed by word ’
approx’. Practically, I find that tank fills to brim within 4.5 litre even when I ask the petrol pump guy to fill slow as the petrol has to trickle down the fuel tank neck.
- As someone had pointed in another review, fuel indicator is very gross.
I would definitely recommend Kinetic Flyte to any new non-gear two wheeler buyer.
