Kickstarters (Lack Thereof) and Angry Brit

Amusing video no doubt. In all honesty, if I had a KTM or GG design electric starter, a back up kick lever would be an absolute must. Sherco or Beta design, not so much? As previously stated, in over 1200 miles I have NEVER used mine.
 
Draw your own conclusions on whether or not you want a bike that has one ...

I saw that this weekend; that guy has some pretty good videos posted on his channel.

I don't understand the reasoning behind not including a kicker. Given the places most riders take their bikes, being left out in the sticks with no ability to get the motor going is baffling.

I bet he had some choice words for the Katoom dealer; and it's not even their fault...lol.
 
The bike isn't tuned very well either. Mine will bump in 2nd gear at less than walking pace.

So funny when he came to the fallen tree around 15mins. Could see what was going to happen there.
 
At a recent bike show here in the UK i went onto the KTM stand and asked,
why don't you have a freeride on the stand mate,
His reply was , we couldn't get it started, LOL.
That bike is ?6000 on the road,UK and no kick start,
I looked at buying one but not without a kicker as back up,
Shame because its a nice size bike, and would be perfect for some of our trails here,
O Well looks like GASGAS will be getting my dosh again.
