Guys,
Thanks for the replys, as it turns out he sold the last L model and all the new bikes are now LE's (Electric Start). I called every dealer in a 2 hour radius and none of them had a non-electric start model.
I started thinking... at the vintage event we went to last weekend he finally was fully confident with his GT80 (1973) even though it was having some problems and was a bear to start. At the end of the day, after riding for a good 4-5 hours, instead of dinner, he went out on the motocross track! I just wonder, is there an 80cc MX bike with good low end and no big hit that he could control? That way he could ease into it and keep getting confident, but still do trails. Any thoughts?
