I just got my motorcycle license here in Japan, and am a small person, not an experienced rider. I fell in love with the Estrella while 'window shopping' for a good first bike. I've had my (very old) Estrella for about three weeks, and I love every second on that bike. I've already had to replace one throttle cable, but what a great bike. It's probably a 1993, but has less than 8,000 km on it.

Hi Tracy,

this is a 1992 Estrella! A BJ250B1 in
Candy Sungold Orange / Pearl Alpine White (RR)

The 1993 Estrellas already have the round blue logo in Japan,
while the 1992 Estrellas have the same logos as German 1994/95.

For an old Japanese Estrella, it is in very good condition!
And it seems to be a "non-cusomized" 1992 (which is very seldom!!!).

Have a lot of fun with your Estrella!
Andreas

Hi Tracy Lee!

What a beauty - I feel envy creeping through my venes ! Go on enjoying the time with this beautiful bike!

best regards,

Flöckchen

There is ONE of these orange 1992 Estrellas in Germany!
A "pre sell" modell, brought here by Kawasaki Germany.

My very best.

Thanks everyone for your replies - sorry for not checking in more!

Motorino - sorry for not replying sooner. The Japanese Yahoo auction (which is as popular as E-Bay in America) is a great place to shop and trade, BUT - it is Japanese only. And many Japanese are not confident enough in their English to try to speak, so - you will get no answer in English. Let me know if I can help in Nihongo (Japanese!).


I LOVE LOVE LOVE This bike. I've been riding it for nearly a year now, and have taken it all over the country (well, not all over, but to a lot of places).

Problems I've found - due to it being an older model and not fuel injected, this bike does not do well at higher altitudes. I've bought a jet set, and will have to practice re-jetting as I travel. This is a bit tedious and disconcerting, because Japan is quite the mountainous country...

However, everything else is great!
