One of the first bikes I rode - 1979 aged 13 and bunking off school - my mates dad had a blue KH250 we used to sneak out to ride it while he was at work - bloody fast when you only weigh 7 stone - scared myself witless but hooked for life
They still look good today!

Nice find!
It's a B-5, the last model made. I bought one new in 1980 before they were launched; I pre-ordered it without seeing one, even the dealer didn't know what it was going to look like. Have still got it but it hasn't run for years, and probably never will now!

well it looks better in the pic, chrome is ok, but all needs replating, dont think she's run for a few years, last owner obtained it in 85 with 2 previous owners to that, 20k on the clocks, 1st reg was in1982. a late one! must have sat in the showroom for a while, at least she's complete with original rims, centre stand and spare spark plug holder under the seat with its cover, also have the rear mudguard, original seat and genuine key that fits all locks, i quite like the 2-4 seat fitted, she has good compression, but carbs are gummed up, but i keep saying to myself leave it alone till the kr's finished. may just get running and sell as ride or restore, carnt see that happening till next year tho, offers invited but be realistic i dont want to dont want to disapoint by saying no, you never know i may be tempted, as i am only caretaking her for the next owner lol
have more pic's
