When I was a kid this was my favorite, it had its iconic sound, then came various models, it had unique design of body, headlights & handles, such a lightweight scooter with lots of power for a scooter in those days.
They were unsuccessful after a decade to market the product & the product vanished from the market, I still see really old kinetic in pathetic conditions. Along with this there was another TVS Scooty which was really meant for girls. Many of my friends used to commute to tutions with their parents kinetic in school days. Really had fun driving these scooters.
Yes, if there was a kinetic with good features I would have never hesitated to own one now a days.
