I love riding my older bikes. Makes the guys that drop $10k plus on a new one reevaluate their skills after getting passed by an older guy on my ancient "trail" bike KDX or even my now 10 years old Gasser.

Trust me, i wasn't that happy about dropping $10K on the new bike, and I wouldn't have if the e-start option were there. My old bike, outside of the e-start, is fine. My plan was to keep it and not buy new, but 100F in the black hills made it clear that if i want to hang with my buddies, i need the e-start.
Given my situation and condition, that $10K might be another 10 years of riding. $1K / year for riding is cheap.
