Hi all. My name's Dave.I'm a lifetime bike nut and have just recently got my paws on a 1977 KH250B. My only other 2 stroke bike was back in the '70's when I had a BSA Bantam! Saw the KH on a New Zealand auction site about 2 months ago and bought it. The guy selling it bought it in Holland in 1988,stored it away until 2002 when he emigrated to NZ.It has done less than 20km in the last 20 years.Never been on the road here....yet! Speedo reads 14646km gen k's.Very original bike as far as I can tell.Just like it came except for the rather cool handlebars which someone has fitted at some time.What's missing is the toolkit,toolkit strap and the owner's handbook from under the seat....oh,and no mirrors.
Found this group via the net.Good to see that there is a group interested enough in these triples.I may be asking some questions,as my knowledge of Kawasaki triples is near zero.........for now!
It's a keeper for sure.I just love the lines of the bike,and even though it's only a 250,I can forsee a lot of fun being had with this little timewarp gem.
I haven't attempted to kick her over yet.I haven't been able to dislodge the baffles,they appear to be well carboned up,so I guess it's off with the exhausts and clean out is sort of first on the list.
Look forward to more chat with you guys out there.
Here's a couple of pix..

Thank you. Don't mind getting the piss taken.... :) This link MAY get to some pix I posted on Webshots.Just to get you Brits drooling. Price was $NZ 2500,which is almost exactly a grand in English pound notes.
Hope this works,if not,next trick!!

| Thanks.I thought it was a steal.Same guy had a 1974 S3 with 18000Kms which sold for the same price.That bike is now back on the auction site for sale by the 'new' owner.Says he's since bought a KH500 !! Thinking about a bid,as it's on sale at $NZ 2500. This could get addictive. |
