If you look around you should be able to find something with hub front and rear brakes, tube tyres, a kickstarter, crappy lights oil leaks and shit handling.
No need to be inconvenienced by nasty technological advances :lol:

Actually a kick starr would be useful if it were in addition to the electric starter. I'm guessing there's a limit on the size of engine that could be comfortably kick started though.

Biggest thing I've kickstarted was a Suzuki GS850

Most frightening thing I've kick started was a 4 stroke 500cc single cylinder CCM. You just never knew if it was going to kick back. :-o

Donkey's years ago, a mate of mine had an old Ariel Square 4 1000cc. I kept well away from that when he was trying to kickstart it!! :)
