Kinetic Blaze; 165cc, 11.6bhp scooter

The blaze is sure an Italian design, but not an Italian engine…..thats the sad part.
Kinetic has again tried its engineering hands on a bueauty and its again a let down..rode one and was not happy with the engine at all..its again the stupid 165cc 4-valve engine that was a run-away flop…. I wish the Italian gem was still under the seat! Its just a de-tuned GF170’s engine with a vario drive!

hey dude i think u should wait for some time. I have heard that Bajaj is launching a 150cc scooter in the mid yr or may be late in the yr.
Its BAJAJ BLADE

have seen the bajaj blade at the expo
it is simply no match for the Blaze design, doesnt even come close.
plus, bajaj has a long history of making very problematic gearless scooters - suffire, wave, spirit etc so I wouldnt touch an automatic from bajaj from a long long way off.

in automatics, u can only really trust kinetic and honda.

anyhow - the gf170 4 valve engine was always a very good engine. forget the bike, but the engine was always very good, very torquey. and the Blaze simply rocks. Plus, its a fantastic price. anywhere in the world, vehicles like this cost nothing less than $4000.
