    Arrow Yea, I remember.

    I felt most put out when I realised that my newer bike did not have one

    kick starts

    yep - it's been more than 10 years since i have a kick-only bike.
    my KTM supermoto had a kick - but on the wrong side so i never used it.
    i'm about to start building my xt500 street tracker - and it's got a wiseco 11:1 piston and it's kick only.
    my srx600 had kick-only - but that had an auto-decomp.
    luckily i'm 100 kilos.....

    I am Jack's complete lack of remorse .

    kickstarts

    My old '78 Kwaka Z1-R 1015cc had a non folding one under the seat that you could whip out & bolt on in case of a flat battery. I must say it did get used now & again

    The GB has kick start and electric. the kicker comes in handy when the clapped out battery doesn't want to play ball ( or I've left the kill switch on and haven't noticed ) and it looks better when you want to pose

    I still use mine.
    Would use electric but battery doesn't have enough power anymore to turn over the engine.
