I had a 95' SC. Great fun. Loved the bike, but mine was a little tough to start when hot. The guy I sold it to did some jetting changes and that seemed to get it fixed.
I'm 5'7" and you've got to know the drill on one of these to get them started. Being tall and weighing 200lbs sure would help but is not required. If you are not well in excess of 6' you can forget ever starting this bike while sitting on it (I had to stand next to it as per the KTM manual).
BTW if mine was an electric start I would have never sold it either.
The memories of the bike makes me want this one too!
