Hi all, glad to be here. Bought my first KH in 76 age 17 and paid £539 brand new in May of that year, from Knott Mill Kawasaki Manchester.

Registration NBU 669P and was a B1 in a brownie orangey colour not the bright red that was common at that time, didnt see any other 250's in that colour, only others i saw in this colour were 400`s, maybe someone can let me know if they had had or seen this colour on other 250`s.

My new! KH is now some 30 years older and cost me twice the price of the first, but i think worth every penny that i paid for it. Just bringing back the old memories is worth it. Again this time its a 76 but a B2 in red registration RJF 528R. Looking to restore it to somewhere near its former glory after a summer of riding a KH again.

I do have a great start in the restoration after summer as it is in good condition and hopefully the pics will show this. If anyone has any comments or tips feel free to let me know.

Can be confusing cos`lists say B2 1977 onwards and clearly its not as straight forward as that
