Kawasaki Z250B1 Specification

Kawasaki Z250B.

Launched in 1980, a year after the Z250A, the ‘B’ model shaved a significant amount off the price of its more expensive brother to compete head on in a competitive market for 250’s.

Spoked wheels, drum brakes, 2 into 1 exhaust, no pinstriping, but, 25lb lighter and £70 cheaper.

30+ years on I have to say I prefer the look of the ‘B’ with its wire wheels, but sales figures look pretty low from my research so I guess 1980’s man in the street was happy to pay the extra for the Scorpion.

Kawasaki Z250B and its big rival the Honda Superdream captured in a ‘Bike’ Magazine 4 way shootout also featuring the Suzuki GSX250 and Yamaha XS250 in June 1980.

Just how my bike would have looked if it was complete!
