It is probably the most fun I have on a motorcycle when I'm not moving. It adds to the nostalgia and for the most part it is pretty functional. Like I've read above, the only time it is a real issue is when the bike stalls out in traffic and you have to kick like a madman. I ride a CB750K2 and have a kickstart.

My wife's Hondamatic has a quite pleasant kick start, and will start with no battery in the bike. (no choke either... that thing just runs.)

A small crome cover over the shaft could be removed and a kick starter lever fitted for those that like the look and backup.I know modern bikes have reliable electrics but when I venture on remote outback tracks on my BMW1150GS I would love to have the backup and piece of mind of a kickstart,especialy one that can be carried in the toolkit as a slip on emergancy fit. A low battery in an isolated remote location can be life threatening.
