No Button Chris you still got to kick it and it is still hard to start if you drop it.

Nah I don't want to go.
I might put a ride on for only bikes built after 2008, and it must have an electric start!

Where's a pic of yours Tim?
Right here Aaron  548cc of two stroke motor, KTM built them for desert racing and only sold them in the US and Aus. In the US they were called DXC's Desert (X)Cross Country and sold with no lights. Here they were EXC's sold with lights and fully road registrable. One of these won Finke in 90, the only year one of these won the race but they tried for many years but had issues with reliability. The CR500 was the king of the Finke. The 540 motor was built for "bottom end" grunt and was a different motor than the normal 500cc motocross motors. I took this to Calder Park twice, first time with a knobby and ran a 14 sec pass. 2nd time I had a road tyre on it and it did a low 13 at over 100 MPH, I was short shifting it in the first three gears as it wanted loop out. There is a photo of me with it at Calder Park in a old Amtraction  This thing is a real buzz to ride; going up through the gears is much more fun the TE510. |

Probably not, I'd spend more time getting ready to go, travelling and then cleaning up afterwards than I would riding on the day. If I'm going riding I'm going for the day, half a day isn't worth it |

Not too keen on the left hand kick starter though. I never got used to that on my TC610. Does it start easy?
For a big two stroke, yes. Like any bike you need to know what it requires. I always liked the left kick starter bikes, you didn't have to change legs to select a gear, a good thing on a steep hill. |
