not just gf170 but may able the laser with semi fairing and dual headlights at just 47k [:0]
If gf170 proved to be a [u]reliable</u> bike and kinetic improves its service...at 44k it will be tough to beat [}

Yeah... the Laser does look decent. And its fairing does gel with the rest of the bike. With the mean dual headlamps.

But 47k (not 44k) may be the ex showroom price for the machine. Add another 5-8 K to get it on road! And it is priced at around the P-150. Still very good VFM. But it should sell if it manages to keep those Vibes low.

Atleast all the fairing freaks will go for it.

But it seems Nav, Heavy Breathers (4 Valvers) like the GF and Laser provide optimum riding power and rideability very close to the red-line. That's good for a racy engine. But then what happens to the ELF

[

] and fuel efficiency and the vibes.

If you read the review of the GF 170 in OD (sorry for quoting OD again) they say they loved keepin the bike in the 9-10K RPM as it feels so good...

But after an hour of riding.. when they got off they had a tingling feeling in their feet and palms because of the Vibes. But when they were on the GF, they enjoyed it so much that that hardly realised the Vibes.

Gliff gf170 I quoted as 44k and laser as 47k.

Regarding vibs, ya I have read that too ... but as per Dilip Bam who also rode that bike .. he says that bike has vibs around 4,000 after which nothing.

Also I hope between then and now kinetic might have sorted out the problem. They better if they want to survive.
