Im ready to buy a new bike and I want a 450r..but i rather have akicker for mx...The electric starter is ok but where are you going to mount a rear resevoir due to where the battery is at?...Yall think the 06 kicker will be here before christmas?

The official word I was given from my Honda shop sponsor was Feb or March :( I couldnt wait that long and broke down to buy the e-start....so far no complaints but I have only have 1 MX race on the quad....

You can always mount the rea rezzy on the front of the frame like everyone does with their Elkas. PEP is different though....

I want to join in Chirstmas at your house!

When you see them in Virginia will be different that when you see them in LA. Kickers are not due until next year, Feb.

I can't believe that they are releasing the kick start so late... all the racers need them now to start workin on set ups! Everyone is just buying the electric start.

We've gotten a few 06 kickers here in my area, noticed the headlight on one yesterday upstairs at work. They should have been shipped to dealers.

How did ya guys get a kicker???? Our Honda rep told us that it'd be Feb because Honda doesnt think they'll sell as many kickers as the e-start!

If you guys are already getting kickers, i'm gonna be POed! Cuz I wanted a kicker REALLY bad!

I'm waving the BS flag :D

Lost power? The e-start is like 6-8lbs.

Are you saying there is a power difference between an e-start and kicker?

Don't complain. Our dealership can't even get the electric start.
