Kinetic
Marvel
In order to do away with its square image, Kinetic Honda went ahead
and borrowed a modern model that was more rounded and contemporary. The Marvel is Kinetic
Motors, nee Kinetic Hondas contribution to the elegant 90s styled bikes.
However, in spite of the modern praying mantis headlights and the snazzy
bodyline, it houses the same engine as that of the DX and the ZX model. A significant
change sees the engine mounted on the frame instead of the frame instead of the swing arm.
This reduces the jarrying shudders that one associates with an overloaded ZX and is more
conductive to a comfortable ride. The ride quality is soft and does little to detract from
the impression of riding a sofa on the road. It is convenience personified but comes with
a high price tag. |
