My buddy just bought a 78 CB750K and the question popped into my mind why the kick start is a thing of the past. From what little I know is that on fuel injected engines the battery has to power the fuel pump and if it is dead a kick start wont matter anyway. But then you have a lot of carbed bikes like the Nighthawks with no kick start either. Or is it because it costs another 20-30 bucks?
I would feel better having the option just in case but of course you can always push start in in a jam if you have to. Just wondering what the real reason is that almost nothing anymore has a kick start including scooters.
