@TechnicalDeepArt this is cost cutting strategies frm companies. Dont fall for them by Convincing others. Honda unicorn & almost honda bikes have kick but companies like RE & yamaha r not giving because automobile industry is in minimum profit so they r thinking to earn more from after sale service. If there is no kick, then within 3 years fuel pump vl get damage, fuel pump of heavy cost. And coming to battery problem, battery companies r in huge loss because if there is a kick then even my Yamaha fzs 2011 model vl start frm kick, i uave not put new battery since 3 years. So these all new bs6 are luring customers in the name of money. Even 4th standard kid vl understand this.
