Who needs that when you have a kick starter?  Man up.

I was thinking primarily of cars & trucks. And BTW I don't have a kickstart on my 750! :P

A CB750 won't kick start if the battery is dead. It takes a small current to "tickle" the stator to produce a charge.
Kind of a flaw if you ask me, but you don't want to find out the hard way.

I have one of those (different brand) and it is awesome. I jump started several cars with it. It is amazing how powerful and small they are. I am getting another one to keep in the trunk of my other car.

What brand do you guys have?

I have a little 9000mAh pack for my personal electronics but 20000mAh on that Chinese eBay one is some serious power!

400 amps coming out of a box the size of a pack of cigarettes is a little scary!

I assume these are some lithium type, and if so do not charge it un-attended, and if it starts smelling like oranges, drop it and run like he11!

google you tube lithium battery fires for hours of entertainment!

My CX500 doesn't have a kick start. This would be a great addition for road trips. Seems like it would fit in the saddlebags without taking up much room.

I just noticed my buddy's BMW K75 doesn't have a kickstart either. I may spring for something like this before our road trip in May.
