I have grown up hearing the new generation screamimg for perfomance 2 wheelers. while this may some what be answered in thebike segment it has fell on deaf ears on the scooter manufacturers who kept churning out load carriers ( keep in mind these too give only around 40 to50km/lt max ). then kinetic stepped forwar and released the uncontended king of scooters by releasing the blaze. quite proud of themselves they stepped back into the dark to let the product and its customers speak about the blaze themselves. But alas that was not to be.While everyone has admitted its the most stylised, powerful and comfortable scooter on indian shores they started complaining about the mileage, the pricing and the lack of better quality. Agreed the consumers desrve it but lets analyse this.... kinetic could hav inproved the overall quality but that would have increased the on road price and people are bitter about the pricing already !!! and about mileage.... its a maxi scooter with 11.7 bhp, 170cc engine with the broadest company fitted tyres in india all to please the performance demanding customers and it still manages to give 30 to 35km/lit ( which is only 5 to 10 km/lt less than the 100cc kid cycles with engines!!). A handfull of people have truly appreciated the blaze for what it is... that is outstanding street presence, amazing riding comfort and awe inspiring power. All I have to say is ride one before you judge it. I have a bullet, a unicorn and a aveo at home and I still consider the blaze the stress free rider in the heavy traffic infested cities of bangalore. Its gearless, has the pick up of a bike and the largest seat comfort to make it the logical choice in intercity commutes. The blaze is the uncrowned king on the indian roads at present. unbelievable?? believe it...........................................
