Nice Ride.
I've heard of a few electing to op out with the e-start. At the very least you have save yourself a bit of weight which is always a good thing.
When I got my 2010 I had full intention on getting the e start kit when it became available.
But now I see how easy this bike is to start and how hard it is to stall. I really don't see the point on spending the extra $$.
