REVIEW : This is the most horrible bike i have ever encountered because of high vibrations, less mileage, bad performance. TVS super is better than this bike. Even the service is like the bike performance.

REVIEW : I have the GF170. It is most comfortable to ride and handles superbly. Power could be better, though fine around Town. Clutch and gearbox not good. Fairly smooth.

REVIEW : Its a very good bike with wonderful pickup and handling.top speed of 100-105kmph.It has got good styling and is still different looker(coool).However pick-up depends on driving style,you ve to keep the engine revving high but its engine note is wonderful just sports bike at speed and bullet at idle.All this comes at cost of terrible vibrations espeacilly at rear foot rests which restrict grils to sit.And the worsts thing is its after sale service which can get award of the worsts thing in world.The bikes good but I dont recommend you to buy it because of its after sale service as this matters a lot.

REVIEW : I bought GF125 three years ago. all in all, i feel the bike is ok but pulsar 150 is a better option. GF125 loses badly to pulsar in both pickup and mileage. however, the bikes handling is much better than pulsar. on the other hand, with short gear ratios, one requires to change gears frequently while driving in city, which is a major irritant. However, the bike is very good to drive on highways with great stability offered by the stiff chassis. My major gripe against the bike is the horrible after sales servicing. Going to the kinetic workshop has always been a nightmare and i am actually getting my bike serviced at a roadside garage now. With very few bikes sold, availability of spareparts is poor. Overall, i dont recommend a buy. Avoid all products of kinetic engineering like plague. Even if the vehicles are good, the aftersales service is pathetic, which diminishes the ownership satisfaction by a great deal.

REVIEW : Worst bike that has been ever built in India with the pick up that can match a autorickshaw and a mileage of a Maruti 800. This is a great elephant to own i am sayin all this because i had this bike for about two years and i currently own a KARIZMA which is having far more fuel efficiency performance and looks.

REVIEW : The bike which i have is almost 1-1/2 years old which was purchased during the height of Gujarat riots.The bike is good with great performance and looks/style.It is real pleasure driving the bike.

The local dealers it seems to me are not really prepared to take up the major repairs,and poor after sales service. The dealer to my opinion should act as beacon and also as bulwark to the manufacturer,and they dont do so thereby diluting the efforts of the R&D Deptt, of the manufacturer.

The past experience have not been good infact in poor taste as in my own house we have one Kinetic Y2K and being honest we were looted by your local dealer.However we still had faith in the company and purchased the new GF 125. Presume the Manufacturer are good but all good work done go astray due to dealers and is a serious problem, and suggest the company must have a representative to interact not only with the dealers but the consumers who ultimately buy the bikes/scooters.

REVIEW : I purchased this bike in aug 02. Drove upto 5000+ km and found the following : Mileage not more than 35 km / lit,maximum speed 100 - 110 kmph,high vibration at foot rest,low handle gives a back pain,tightening of nuts to be done in proper way,footrest cradle should be longer even kinetic should think of replacing this in already purchased vehicle,no front no. plate arrangement due to which rto is creating problem,should have alloy wheels as shown in the display in auto expo and this should be replaced in already purchased vehicle also.In nut shell good look, high speed, average pick up and low mileage makes this vehile average.
