"Sprotor" is the technical term.
You would be correct, sir. As @Westy pointed out, it's a chopper thing and choppers are generally stupid.Just seems kind of silly to marry two items, one of which requires lubrication and the other not so much. At least the brakes won't squeak.

kelsey's a weirdo but it's a good point: might be a while before you can get an aftermarket dome (like from a sane machinist like Apex
)
Granted I have only had a few bikes, but my '06 YZ450 was a bitch to start cold, sometimes a bitch when hot. My '12 FI YZ450 will start right now with 2 kicks in skate shoes having not ran in 2 months. It just starts, damn near every kick. No choke, no screw adjustment, just starts.
doing it wrong
I guess. I had to kick the living shit out of it. I found a routine that worked pretty well, but it was never a 1 kick deal. The fuelie starts with a half assed kick.
Mine, albeit a newer bike but with the same motor starts up 1-3 kicks with the choke on every time in the cold. Hard to say since you don't have it anymore.
I remember when the Cannondale came out without a kickstarter, I thought it was crazy. Please believe I loved my '06 WR450 magic button, but it didn't always work.
Honestly other than dumb EPA rules which will probably spread nationwide now that california is enforcing them there's no reason to do fuel injection on two strokes. The simplicity is the point. The KTM zombies will swear up and down about superior advancements blah blah blah but I've had to bump start too many of the damn things in the middle of nowhere because they don't leave residual fuel in the tank and will often kill the battery before they start. I'm glad beta are sticking with carbs and kickers (or at least the option for a kicker). Sherco ditched the option for a kicker. Makes it easy to know which bikes to NOT buy.
told you that was one outlet for the 80hp version!
It looks like it has plenty of torque. It would be interesting to see what kind of runtime you can get.
I wouldn't really pay attention to anything they put out until it's in deep snow. In some conditions there's no such thing as 'too much'

better hurry before it's all closed
My R1 was an analog deathtrap. I would think a lot of the nannies are a welcome change. The idea of an anti-wheelie just seems crazy to me. One thing that kemp my right hand in check was the idea that in any gear I could float the front tire with half throttle.
that's pretty much the same power/wt ratio as a 4t 450f motocross bike with no modifications
Cool, but 50 pounds heavier than it should be.
Granted I have only sat on it so far but the ergonomics seemed pretty good, actually. I'm 6'4" and it didn't feel tiny or awkward like the Light Bee does. I just hope it has enough umph on the trail.
