The Marvel is Kinetic Motors, nee Kinetic Honda’s 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 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.
