No i'm saying it had a big displacement and big displacement bikes need decompressors. but bikes with ECU's need to have the decompression computer controlled and therefore it is near impossible to kick start them without kickbacks and mismatched ignition. ECU controlled bikes are not the same as carb controlled ones.

But I do get your point on the charm front.
