As a marketing thing, the lack of an electric starter will probably kill it like it did the SRX-6.
After the Britbikes went away, so did kickstarters. The SR500 was probably the last of the marketable kickstart-only street bikes. The hoi polloi just won't buy them anymore. That goes for Enfields, too. Their sales are up because of electric starters, especially when they work! Some people still want kick starters on their bikes, but they don't necessarily want to rely on them! When was the last time you went out and handcranked your car?
