A mate had a KH like this one, same colour etc, when I had a 250LC, my memory of the KH was that it was slow and poor handling.

The model listed is a B4 which was pretty much the Last Triple before they were dropped by KHI, and other than paint was the same face lifted S1 from 76. The LC was a brand new model and 5 years newer which in Bike development terms is a lifetime so the KH could never hope to compete with it.

I had one on an R plate for about 18 months and learned to ride on it while saving for something with more performance.
I enjoyed riding it but my lasting memory is I always wanted it to go faster!

It is physically large for a 'measly' 250 but that makes it a comfortable bike to ride and in my opinion it is the best looking 250 ever.
The engine noise is very distinctive - you can hear them approaching from miles away
Mine was very reliable (No issues at all) and I used Bel Ray Si7 oil which burns more or less smoke free.
Use the revs to get to what power there is but not really a motorway animal.
Brakes were not brilliant but ok for a 70's bike.

You should get a really good one for a fraction of the asking price here.
