No bike with a kick start is a chick bike, IMO. These older ones aren't super reliable, leak oil, and the rear jug runs hot. But, it's all about the antique experience. I drive 60-110 year old cars for the same reason. It helps if you are mechanical and can fix everything that breaks. If you are not savvy that way, you're looking at a lot of frustration. These are a lot easier to start than my 1915 Ford on a hot day.
