I've got to disagree with you there. To each his own, but for my money the kick start is part of what makes an Enfield a classic bike, and keeps it from being just another "tribute bike." That, the metal fenders, and the classic proportions differentiate the Bullet from what I figure is its closest competition, the Triumph Bonneville 900 series.
Of course, it's pointless for me to argue since, in spite of totalmotorcycle.com calling the G-5 a UK model, it appears those (apparently kick started) models will be available in the U.S.
