Overdrive's long term test report

Overdrive magazine’s expert team has finished the long term test for the Kinetic Blaze. The team tested the Blaze extensively over a period of 17 months (Feb 2007- June 2008) and 8384 kms.

Some highlights from the wrap-up (overall) report:

The reviewer says:
· “ Kinetic Blaze is one of my personal favorites from the OD Garage”
· “I found this Italiano to be charismatic & beckoning me to take charge & whack the throttle open”
· “the huge, comfortable step seat never made me twitch in discomfort. And never did I feel tired even after riding her all day around town”
· “At times I would love to teach a lesson to wannabe racers at traffic lights and cant stop smiling as I ‘blaze” past
· “she hits the ton religiously, making a speedo indicated top end of 110 kmph. Phew!”
· “The well laid out instrument console too is a boon with the fuel gauge and telltale lights besides the tacho and digital clock making for a quick time check while rushing to office”
· “The fat rubber at both ends has been more than reassuring throughout, helping take corners with confidence. Same with the disk brake up front which helps greately in emergencies.”
· “The decent underseat storage made a good place for my girlfriend to keep stuff whenever we went shopping”
· “The cushy rear seat makes the pillion feel at home”
· “Now that the Blaze is going, I am really going to miss all the fun I had. Those late night rides back home, the early morning rush zipping through traffic and lots more. Really.”
