After Sammy Miller had been poached by Bultaco to help develop the Sherpa, Montesa recruited Don Smith (who had won the 1964, ’67 and ’69 European Trials Championships) as advisor while it was developing the Cota. In 1972, Smith received an enticing offer from Japan to work with Kawasaki, and the result was the excellent KT250, the marque’s first purpose-built trials machine, which arrived in 1975. It was a highly creditable effort. Cycle World wrote: “The Japanese have shown a strong interest in bogwheeling, although they have not yet been successful in producing machinery equal to that of Spain. But Kawasaki’s new KT250 comes closer than anything else.”

This fantastic 1975 KT250 is most desirable on account of its really exceptional state of preservation and originality, complete with its lights and speedometer. It must have led an active competitive life for a time, but more recent years have been very kind to it as it has been thoughtfully preserved in enthusiast ownership and it fully deserves to pass into another sympathetic pair of hands. We are advised that it was running recently, and though there is no V5C it is supplied with a dating certificate from the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club.
