About this model
About the Kawasaki A1 Samurai
The Kawasaki A1 Samurai is a lightweight 250cc two-stroke twin from Kawasaki's early international breakthrough. Sold from 1967 through 1971, the Samurai combines an air-cooled parallel twin with rotary inlet valves, kickstarting and a five-speed gearbox. For a motorcycle of this era it is technically specific: originality of the engine, oiling system, carburettors and exhaust parts has a major effect on both reliability and value. The larger A7 Avenger shares part of the basic architecture but is a separate 338cc model; do not identify them by appearance alone.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the frame and engine numbers against the model year; period Kawasaki numbers do not always run in exact sequence.
- Have the oiling system, carburettors and ignition operation and adjustment checked before extended riding.
- Inspect cylinders, pistons, crankshaft bearings and exhausts for wear or signs of incorrect two-stroke oil adjustment.
- Check the condition and availability of original drum brakes, wheels, switches, instruments and exhaust parts; replacements can affect value.
- Look for corrosion in the tank, frame, spoked wheels and mountings, and document any restoration with photographs and invoices.
