The design of the single-seater model of Kawasaki Estrella is very similar to the Kawasaki model SG 250 1964.[4] This motorcycle was based on a 250-cc engine of the motorcycle manufacturer Meguro, which was taken over by Kawasaki and built including copies of British BSA engines. The design of the two-seater model Gold Star Clubman DBD34 recalls the BSA motorcycle from the 1960s.[5]
