While a fake kick starter might sound ridiculous to most of us, I'm not sure that I'd be all that surprised to see a manufacturer some day add such a thing to a retro styled motorcycle and market it a "kick-assist starting system". (You'd still have to thumb the starter switch of course, lol.) I could see some guys pulling off the fake kick start effect before riding off in front of a crowd of people who don't know any better. This would probably sell to the same people that find the fake carbs and fake cooling fins to be appealing.
