KH250 (350cc) 1978

1978 Kawasaki KH250 – 350cc Conversion

A lovely example of Kawasaki’s iconic two-stroke triple, this 1978 KH250 has been converted to 350cc and is presented in beautiful condition with just the right amount of age-related patina.

Showing 12,700 miles, although we have no evidence to verify whether the mileage is genuine, so the mileage is being sold as unwarranted.

The paintwork is beautiful and the bike has clearly been cherished. Rather than being an over-restored showpiece, it retains plenty of period character and looks exactly as a classic Kawasaki triple should.

The 350cc conversion makes this an especially interesting example, combining the KH250 chassis with a larger-capacity version of Kawasaki's famous air-cooled two-stroke triple.

It starts first kick and is a wonderfully evocative classic Kawasaki.
