After reading raving reviews about Kinetic Nova, I went ahead and bought the scooter as looks wise it looks quite good but the performance is a real let down. The biggest problem is of brakes as it takes lot iof time as compared to its competition to come to complete halt after applying brakes. In a city like Delhi where traffic is huge and you need to cut corners and sharp bends it gives real problem to taller person like me. I thought I am buying 135cc engine over Honda's 100 cc engine it will give a better throughput but it gives more or less the same throughput.
Another big problem is of service centers, the place from where I bought the scooter, it takes time for the engineers to diagnose a problem and they do not keep spare parts as well. You keep on looking at them for solution but such lazy service people, well I am trying to comapre it with Bajaj service center and Maruti Servcie centers.
I just want to point out that it is not as good as I thought or perceived. Kinetic has do a lot. If they improve the service standards and give little moew thought on detailing then definitely there are chances for improvement but it looks like they are busy in trying to increase their fading Motorcycle business. I must tell Kinetic that future will be now scooters as there are no place fr cars and bikes are not meant for family purpose or shopping purposes.
