Kawasaki+estrella+250+review Guide

Do not buy this bike if you want to win drag races. The Estrella produces approximately 19–21 horsepower. You will hit 60 mph (96 km/h) comfortably, but acceleration drops off significantly after 70 mph.

This is where the Estrella shines. It is light (approx. 150 kg / 330 lbs wet), narrow, and has a tight turning radius. Filtering through traffic is effortless. The clutch pull is light, and the gearbox is typical Kawasaki: clunky but bulletproof. kawasaki+estrella+250+review
