You got that right! I bought my KLR250 last December: kickstart only. Even with boots on, I've bruised the bottom of my foot and badly sprained my big toe. And that's on a 250cc with compression release, ferchrissake! And it starts relatively easily!

If you get a kickstart bike, wear serious motocross boots with a really stiff sole (Aerostich Combats work ok, but buy them used because of the price...).
