Did any Huskys have e-start?

Seems as though I've been thinking this or may have asked this before. But if I were to convert a dirt Husky to street, I'd like to have one that has the e-start. Something tells me that none of them had an e-start unless it was the S model. What's the deal here?

Or how about...?

These are the parameters that I need:

1. Under $5000 or around there.
2. 450cc or over.
3. E-start.
4. Enduro headlight and tail (doesn't have to be street legal kit necessarily.)
5. Prefer something that has SM wheel/brake setup, though if I can find a readily available used set-up that will work.

Questions:
Is there a preferable tranny for occasional dual-sport riding?
Cush drive necessary?

My Thoughts:
I really like the Husky 570s but can't see buying an eduro for $3500 and spending $1500 for wheels and brakes. I might as well buy an SMR right?

Should I buy a 2004 SMR570 then? But they don't have e-start or do they? That is my only concern with them.

All the Huskys have E-start. Husky offers a European lighting kit for their SMs for street kit so save your money and buy a SM and not a dirtbike.

whats up with the anti kick start latly

lucky since most bikes have automatic compresion releases it makes things very easy to do. i know my crf is a breeze to start, and usualy does it on the first kick.

I would go for SM570R in a flash. The kick only wouldnt bother me but I have heard some say having trouble with theirs.
The 610SMS is E start but its also an under powered tank.
I am not sure about the new models

The new 610 isn't said to be underpowered.

When I ask about e-start for all models I am including the Enduro and dirt models as well? That is basically what I was wondering.

But you are saying that the 570SMR is kick only?
And the only other one besides the 2005 610SMR to have e-starts it he old 610S right?

as far as supermoto models go yes in my understanding that is the way it is.
in enduro models the TE610 has an E start but the 570 does not.
the old 610(actually 570cc) motors in enduro or sm form are underpowered
Husqvarna went about their marketing in a none to clever way when they named their bikes and it has caused confusion over what bikes are what and come with whatfeatures
Like how the 00 SM610R became the SM570R in 01-04. It just got a plastic restyling but kept the good 570cc engine wwhich has chain on right hand side and is kick only.
The 00-04 610SMS and TE610 are 570cc but a different motor which has E start and has the chain on the left hand side
all engines are actualy 570cc but similarity ends there.
what has happened after 04 models I am unsure as they have revamped the range but I know there are onyl two I would go for
a SM570R and the new 510
