Good Choice for a Cafe Build?

Dunno bout the 550s but the 750 lost the kickstart in 80. The 1000 never had one, and i think the 850s lost it in 80 as well? anyone?

Kick start would be ok.... But I'm happy just touching the little button and the bike is running. No muss no fuss.... way to old to worry about looking "cool" now

True. I like that little button too, but its also nice not to have to find a hill if your starter clutch or motor goes out on you too. :shock:

Kicker is not necessary - just bump start it like the rest of us.

Magneto ignition on the other hand :-D:-D:-D

If i can avoid it, ive no real desire to bump start a 500+ lb bike. I tried bumping my step dads Vulcan 900 classic last summer. Lets just say, after the non sucess, it was a long hard push back up the alley. :?
