Some japanese imports had electric starting options, but no kickstart
Personally I would have kickstart because it's more reliable & when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere at least it will start eventually
Best is electric & kick, but not available on XR's
Imported japan market XR's - They can be differentiated because they have a metal tank, indicators & lower suspension
UK XR's have plastic tanks, are lighter & are better suspended, with no indicators but street legal lighting
