What can I tell you that you don't already know about this scooter? Well, for starters I could tell you that it does a 0-60 kph run in 10.2 seconds. That it's pretty comfortable on good roads. That it still doesn't ride as well as it should on bad roads.
That you get to the underseat storage by twisting the ignition key beyond the ignition slot (one genius here pried the seat open to fill fuel). But the biggest thing in the Blaze's favour is that finally here's a scooter that I, a hard nosed motorcyclist, don't mind as an option to a humdrum motorcycle.
And why not? After all, it is the biggest and most powerful scooter this country has ever seen. It also happens to be the first scooter with a disc brake, the first to get a four-valve engine and for whatever it's worth, it also happens to be the first scooter to get a tachometer and handle-bar counter balancers. And as long as we are staking claims, let me also mention that it happens to be fourth biggest two-wheeler (on account of engine size) in the country. At this point I should also mention that the Blaze happens to be unlike anything that we've ever seen and until it becomes a regular at the traffic lights, it does have the ability to capture eyes and cling on to them.
Kinetic BlazeThen there is the small matter of price. At 55,000 bucks, the Blaze is at loggerheads with the Pulsars and the Apaches of this world. Not to mention that at this price, it's even a few tempting EMIs away from a fully loaded 125.
