Is this a real Kinetic?
Yes, it is a real Kinetic. The older Kinetics used to be black and had a much different logo. 

"But for some time now, I’ve been wondering how much different the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine is from my ‘old’ trainer. Well, it turns out that Kurt Kinetic hit on a winner with the original design… and except for a new ‘hair color’, the two units are nearly identical. Wisely, Kurt Kinetic decided to not fix something that isn’t broken." http://cycling-review.com/accessories/bicycle-trainer/kurt-kinetic-road-trainer/
