I chose that KLR250 for the kick starting. I decided I wanted to be able to get way out in the boonies. Since most Japanese bikes, by that time, were electric only. The KLR was so unbelieveable easy to kick start (unlike a 1975 XL350, and a 1982 SP500, both dual sport thumpers I owned over the years). I could let that KLR sit for 6 weeks in the dead of winter, and it always started up cold with one kick. Push starting even a 250 by myself in a mud bog, or rock strewn rutted trail, would not be possible. Hence, the KLR250.

I really like the KLX250 also.
