deutsche Version
1994 Luminous Windsor Green

Kawasaki started developing
the Estrella BJ250 in 1991.
As far as we know, the A-Version of the Estrella never appeared on the Japanese market. Was the A1 a pro- totype? Kawasaki started with the selling of the B-version in 1992.
Two years later - in 1994 - the first BJ250 As were sold in Europe, mainly in Germany, in to variants.

 
You can easily distinguish the German BJ250 A2 (1994) and BJ250 A3 (1995) from Japanese B-version Estrellas:

The German A-versions were fitted with round mirrors (E) and bigger indicators (C), probalby to fulfil the European standards.
A difference you can’t easily see is the equipping of the carburettor (F). The German carburettor has a different interior and also carburettor cover. A German Estrella only pro- duces 17 instead of 21 PS. The A2 had no carburettor heating.
 

German 1994 Estrella BJ250 A2

All German As were originally sold with saddle (like the Japanese B-version), but porter racks (A) on the back fender instead of pillions. So, the German version has no second pair of foot rests (G).

None of the German Estrellas ever had hazard lights (D). All German A-versions had the same Estrella logo (B). This logo was only used in 1992 for the BJ250 B1 in Japan. The BJ250 B2 from 1993 already had a different logo.
 

Estrella BJ250 A3
In 1995 the successor, the BJ250 A3 came onto the German market. The most important difference was, that from the 1995 models on all German Estrellas were fitted with carburettor heating. The position of the rectifier changed too.
 
While the Japanese B4-model from 1995 already had shock absorbers without reservoirs, the German 1995 A3-model still had shock absorbers with reservoirs. 1995 was the last year of the A version being officially sold.
