2018 WINTER SALE.......LOOK BID BUY!!!
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PIC's & DESCRIPTION.
This very rare and much sought after tax exempt 1968 Kawasaki A1 250 Samurai has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 8669 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks.
We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it.
The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!.
PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........As you can see this bike has a few parts missing – R/h mirror & badges being the most obvious. It has obviously stood a while so the battery is flat, tyres are perished. Sadly the fuel tap is broken & much of the bright chrome is slightly pitted.
BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS.........This is the actual bike you are bidding on – Not library pictures from 50 years ago & it is every bit as nice as it looks here.....A true time warp machine!. The wheels are straight with nice clean chrome rims, good hubs & brake plates. Forks & yokes look straight. Mudguards are both solid & are tidy. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look great. Carburetors are free sliding off the twist grip. Paintwork is slightly faded but solid, fuel tank is squeaky clean inside. Exhausts are original & solid. Seat base is in very good condition throughout. Chain guard is tidy. The engine is cosmetically very clean, it turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression BUT BEST OF ALL when we hooked it up to a good battery & fed it fresh fuel/oil from a dummy tank it fires, starts & runs.
This is only a very brief description….If you require any further information please give us a call or better still visit our showroom and have a good look over this bike & all the others we have on eBay for yourself – after all who are you going to believe me or your own eyes?
