The kick-start-only XT600 of the late 1980s was the plain, lighter trail sibling of the Ténéré, using the same 595 cc four-valve air/oil-cooled single but with a small 13-litre tank and no big touring fairing. It had long-travel forks and a rear monoshock with front and rear disc brakes, and was aimed at general trail and enduro-style riding. Wikipedia lists this family as the 2KF-type XT600.
