I’m sure this comment is facetious, but as many motorcyclists will attest, something absolutely was lost in the 80s with the transition to electric starter motors.

Kickstarting a motorcycle is a truly pleasurable experience (at least for smaller displacements). And the loss is not just aesthetic, but practical too; you needn’t worry about your battery going flat — on some bikes you don’t even need the battery installed at all to start it!
