Classic 1978 Kawasaki 250 B3.

The KAWASAKI KH400, released in 1976.

Running from 1976 to 1979, this was probably the ‘nicest’ of Kawasaki triples. It’s engine upped in capacity reduced in power, but now with a much more user friendly power band than the 350S2,
which was renowned for ‘high-siding’ the unwary rider, especially in damp conditions!

Power was down to 38bhp, which was still as much or more than any of its competitors, two stroke or four. Now blessed with nice power characteristics with plentiful mid range pull and a better (slightly!) economy the KH400 became almost civilised, but still retained those fabulous classic looks and a wonderful three-cylinder drone from three separate exhausts.
