*Kinetic Blaze
*It is one of the best bike in the rather disappointing stable of Kinetic motors & truly holds to the contemporary standards. I would not go into technicals of this bike because I am no technical expert, I only understand how it does look, how it handles & how it runs, so my review will be a review of an enthusiastic biker nothing more, nothing less.
*Still some basics
*165 CC 11.5 BHP 4 stroke Engine.

Design & Style
*Superb styling & the famous italino design, anywhere, any moment you are sure to grab attention & head-turns for the bike.
Build Quality - Chassis** Build quality of chassis is good, frame is good, rubbers are good hence the balance, breaking & handling are quite good, top-notch when compared to scooters & can give a run to any of the available bikes today.
*Engine, Performance, Efficiency** The engine working on this is that of Kinetic's earlier motor-cycle GF170, which is not very refined, have vibrations above a certain speed. That apart but the pickup is nonetheless exciting, so is the speed. This motoscooter has the performance to woo the 2 wheeler enthusiasts, no doubt about it! It can even put many a so called flashy bikes(on Indian roads) to a shame, but at the same time it is not the epitome of speed & pickup. There are several bikes which can beat it by far, even those ones which have got less cubic capacity like 125 CC. Efficiency is a bit low-down and despite the company's claim, actual return is on an average 35 Km per liter. **Conclusion** This is the best machine in Kinetic's stable to date(leave Acquillas & Comets apart), and is really confidence inspiring to ride & push on the road, leave a few weaker links like - engine refinement, top speed & efficiency, then the bike is really stands out of crowd. I feel the pricing is also very competitive at around 50 K.
