  • Kinetic GF 170

    Hi guys - I've heard that the Kinetic GF 170 is going to be the surprise knockout -- the GF always looked great and it seems with the 170 the performance is going to be awesome too. see www.bsmotoring.com - the bike has a bhp almost 15 - same as Pulsar 180, torque MORE than pulsar 180 and price less than pulsar 150! With counterbalanced engine, it seems vibration problem is gone..

    I am going to check it out. Anyone know when it ll be launched?

    I had seen this bike at the Autoexpo in Mumbai i.e.in Jan I guess. Does not look that good. And the spares and accessories look very cheap. For eg. the petrol tank lid is made of hard powder coated plastic, n there are some places, infact lots where its badly welded.

    As per what I know it is going to be launched in September

      yeah darius i agree with you as for the bike looks it is a twin cradel framed one which looks very bad ( atleast i feel ) the tank shape etc and finish is bad ... no idea about the engine unless u drive it but i feel kinetic guys have to improve the looks of the bike drastically.

        I think engine will be good, 4 valve, digital ignition timing, etc.

            hello guys,

            if bigger companies like Hero Honda are taking people for a royal joy ride , then atlesst we have kinetic that doesnt do any kanjoosi in bhp ratings and torque ratings.

              Cha_Indian I'm with u as long as that statement goes. You r absolutely right, atleast Kinetic aint doing any kanjoosi in bhp n torque rating to save on mileage.

                  what i heard from the kinetic dealer here is, that gf 170(normal version) is gonna be sold at no gain no loss price, coz their boss doing well due to that principle(altough it seems that they sellboss for a little profit) and that the gf 170 is coming out in two versions , one a normal version and another looking like the karzima

                        Looking at Gf125 will u still go for Gf170? Well Gf170 might turn out to be good bike ... but there is some risk involved here.

                          The problem with GF125 was vibrations-- apart from that what else ??

                          GF 170 has balancer shaft to nullify that so what if it is a bad looker , it can beat the stupid Karizma in speed !!!

                            cha u a** have u driven gf170/Karizma? If not how can you make such wild claims????

                            If Gf125 was having only vibration problem and nothing else.. then coudn't kinetic fix it in a month or so, the way bajaj did with p180 gearbox problem???

                            Also u claimed gf170 will beat karizma in speed..I'm sure u have not driven ne of them...now can u theorotically prove how this will be possible???
