As far as I'm aware, the only race-rep 250 with an electric start is an RGV250 VJ23. It seems I have the only NSR250 in existence that's an absolute pain in the ass trying to start... which is probably trying to tell me something! (That I know already!!)
Many here will tell you they can start their NSRs by hand if they want. Unless you have an issue with a kickstart (maybe reduced leg movement from an accident, or something?), I wouldn't be concerned about it.
The NSR150SP is a great little bike, but the NSR250 is in a whole different league. In terms of build quality, chassis components, and performance, there is nothing that isn't better on the 250. (Some would argue the fuel gauge on the 150! )
