Re: Anyone miss the old kickstart?
Yes I do miss it. My first big bike was a Kawa W650, and I had the kick start option.
Boy did I love showing off when Mr Lou and I rode to Stratford upon Avon on a Sunday morning, to the big bike gatherings, when we left I used to kick start it, just to prove to all the blokes there that a girl could kick start a bike. Bliss... ...but at least I still had the electric start option.

So the KTM has one, perhaps I'll go for that next time instead of the Beemer I've been eyeing up.

Re: Anyone miss the old kickstart?
Having been 'kicked back' in the past because of a lack of knowledge about decomp levers, i detest them with a vengance :P
Also stripping the splines and having to drill the shaft for a bolt is a pain too....LOL. All hail the power of the THUMB!! |
