I have been riding Kinetic Blaze for 4 months now and have done 1800 kms on it. Before the Blaze I have ridden TVS Centra and also Honda Activa. In my experience, Kinetic Blaze is far better than either of those two.
My favorite thing about the Blaze is that it is so comfortable. The seat really is great, like a sofa, as everyone says. And I also like it that when I am riding the Blaze, everyone always gives me a second or third look. It sets me apart from all the other bikes on road- pulsar, unicorn, activa etc. and so it is prestigious.
Other things that I like is its powerful, 170cc. So it moves very well on the road, and if u get an empty stretch of road, you can go fast also, like over 100 kph! But better wear a helmet! Though my Blaze has disk brakes – it is the FIRST scooter in India to come with disk brakes and though there is another option of without disk brake, if u can afford it, get the disks.
I have had no problem with Blaze in last 4 months and 1800 kms. In fact, I had many problems with TVS Centra, and Honda activa also I had some complaint like starting trouble and expensive spares, indifferent dealer attitude to service etc. But so far, my experience with Blaze has been very good on product and service. I have heard stories of how people have used same kinetic scooter for 15-20 years and now I can see why. You have to do basic maintenance like service on schedule and keep vehicle in clean, good condition and then it is trouble-free.
I feel like the Blaze has come, and with one shot, it has made all other two wheelers, especially scooters like activa and pleasure become very outdated in looks, technology and performance. You only have to see a Blaze parked side by side with any other two-wheeler to see what I mean. Blaze also has very good tyres and suspension – better than others. And mileage has been about 37-39 which is similar to what Activa gives. But Activa is only 100cc and Blaze is 170cc.
Kinetic dealership has provided me much better service experience than the Honda dealers. I think everyone knows by now the attitude of Honda dealers, and the huge maintenance bills that they charge to customers. So, as a delighted user of the Blaze, and someone who has had experience with other two wheelers, I say that the Blaze heralds a new era in two wheelers and this is the RIGHT CHOICE!
