I don't remember them being considered very desirable back in the day. Suzuki GT250's then, then Yamaha's RD's became the bikes to have.
I think its at the stage now were every two stroke is getting desirable and expensive, the kh250 is a slow bike around 70-75 mph and there weight is very heavy compared to an rd350lc which has most components made of plastic.
749S model in yellow folks. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274879464065?hash=item400017c281:g:FeEAAOSwyc5g41qA
Now this is exactly the type of thing I’m after, and it’s only an hour. Sadly too rich for me https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-9...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
A cracking example as all original when leaving the factory, just needs some fastners re-dipped, perhaps beg,borrow or steal the money.
A shiny Monster, perhaps for The Cures frontman when checking his makeup when out & about town. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19336579...rentrq:def3392017a0a7b0833b4634fff70678|iid:1
You may be right about all 2T bikes being desirable these days, you're certainly right about the KH speed & weight. Plastic LC's? Not too sure about that. The great bikes of the mid 70's / early 80's era are head and shoulders better & have been expensive for some while. These are GT250, X7, RGV's & Ts185, DT175, RD250 & 400, LC250 & 350 plus RG500, GT750, 750 H2 and Z1B900 (4T). Personally I think the other models are just being swept along in the nostalgia. I may have missed out a *bike or two but the above are the ones to have. *Honda Elsinore & XT500, ballistic PE400.
you've brought back memories of all the, mainly newspaper type reports citing the 750 version as an un-tamable bucking bronco when it was released. There will be many more on here with memories, I never rode one.
The H2... Total hoodlum delinquent bike. I knew a guy who wheelied his almost vertical everytime I saw him leave the Fox & Hounds -mad as a fish. No idea how he survived really.
He has a story to tell...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274879961852?hash=item40001f5afc:g:FRYAAOSwP4xg~aZW
perfect bike for that low-budget, inbetweeners-style, Easy Rider film re-make. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393458490824?hash=item5b9bf41dc8:g:wc0AAOSwOuVg-aAj
Well its takes a few words to explain "monumental motorcycle that the Desmosedici is, it is not the all-rounder that the 999R is and many cogniscenti consider the 999R to be a far better bike.. I certainly did not know that!
IIRC, At the time, Bike magazine research concluded the typical KH250 owner only had six brian cells. Still waiting for this to come up in a pub quiz, along with ‘who had the worlds stickiest bogey’ (ans - Toxteth O’Grady)
I spent 3 years rebuilding a kh250 b5 model which is ok as MrsRoadtrip keeps telling me I only have 2 brain cells
Now for something different perhaps this Heron tribute RG500 motorcycle. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1366613
The perfect background for a 1098. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284384864027?hash=item4236a8a71b:g:Eb0AAOSwyxBg~bQm
