Thats a cool old bike. They surely don't build them like that anymore. I personally think that its a mistake for Honda not to still put kick starters on their bikes. Very smart engineering on the back tire too!

Yes, old is cool as they say...All things considered she has been a trusty old steed! Considering the amount of batteries I go through, the kick start does add a fair amount of confidence for sure, especially when one is an hour or two back into the hills.
