Now here is a bike which looks hot, but whose engine is also hot! this is a bike which looks hot , so we will start of with its looks.
going with the head , the head lamp and twin meter pods are good , the fuel tank and the body simply burns with style and is attractive too. the meter pod, head lamp, the silencer and the rest of the parts which are chrome-plated , tempt us to keep looking at it all the time.
The seat is nicely contoured over the rear of the petrol tank. The finishing on the seat is good , and is comfortable that it makes you to wish to ride on it all the time. the tail part is also good with a sleek design . The downtube chassis and the telescopic forks provide for a great balance. the most good thing is that it has a digital cdi ignition system.
so far so good, coming to the engine it may seem good by hearing about the 125cc and 12bhp engine. the engine is a direct take over from the automobile company hyosung which is well suited for foreign roads than on engine roads. the engine is silent because of the four-valve engine unit. But a vibration starts in the engine after you cover a certain distance. A five-speed gearbox enables the Kinetic GF-125 to reach a speed of 90 kmph easily. The gear shifting is easy.but what happens to the vehicle after we travel a few kms ( I had travelled in pillion for approx. 25 kms )engine sure becomes hot and there is this sound which sarts coming from the engine makes you feel that its gonna stop. now the engine is not resdy to take you on indian roads (within the city) just because of frequent braking and gear changing.
but, braking is effective to some extent and it goes on with a good feel and linear control.
The Kinetic GF125 gives an overall mileage of 50kmpl on city roads and approx. 60kmpl on long rides(say city to city)and I feel that is ok .
To say it all, Kinetic GF125 isn’t really perfect and this is a bike completely imperfect for indian roads . I would not really recommend you to buy this bike , but individual opinions differ . so go out have a ride on this bike and think for yourself
