Personally, the e-start provides some cost saving advantages (seeing as the E-start and kick are the same price in Canada). With the e-start I know a couple of guys that haven't bought a Rekluse (me included) yet as a quick stall is easily restarted with the button.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the only Rekluse for the GG is the full Core EXP and at $899 adds some big outlay of Cake! I can get away with the e-start for now and leave the Rekluse.

Second for me, haveing a battery to power some lights or heated grips is really appealing for winter riding and those longer rides/short nights in the fall where some lighting is necessary to make your way back to the truck.

Eitherway, the 6-7 pounds for me is a few less beers and wings at the pub after the ride!!!

Here in Aus the RRP on the E-start is actually less than the Race model. Try and work that one out. I haven't confirmed if we get the spares kit with the R like previous years though.

I have an e start 2011 ec250 with a recluse core exp. If I had to choose between the recluse or the e start I'd pick the recluse hands down. I find myself only starting the bike about 40% as often as I did before the auto clutch. No more searching for neutral or holding the clutch in at stops. Where I used to shut down I now just let it idle in gear. The e start is nice if the motor dies on a hill (yes there are hills in East Tennessee) but that almost never happens because it's much easier to keep it running with the auto clutch. I've seriously considered selling the e start components to clean up the looks of the motors' left side and make air filter changes much easier.
