I didn't think you could get key start 2 bangas.

huh?? key start?? its only an ignition... Dt being a road trail was sold towards farmers and city commuters alike as ecconomical on fuel, low seat for comfort and was well priced for the time. its not designed to be a speed machine or expected to take a 20ft gap in leaps and bounds.. but it will plonk along calmly around the farm, or down the street, has that ring ting two stroke buzz, but feels more 4 stroke to ride..sigh.. I recall the first DT i rode.. a 74 candy apple red 250... would kick your shoe off your foot if you got the compression stroke wrong!

yer the key is just so its harder too steal.. but ktm did bring out the first electric start 2 stroke last year in the form of the exc model

Actually you can get key start 2 strokes, KTM 300exc-e and the dt230 yamaha released a few years ago.

Yamaha serrow was also a kick start key start off memory, possibly the TTR range aswell... but great review mate, keep us updated on the riding pics and some action shots

its not a key start you need the key in and turned to kick it over. or else it will not do anything
