The 1978-79 KH 250, the same 249 cc three-cylinder two-stroke layout as the 1976-77 bike with 28 hp and kick start. The main difference in its spec table is a drum brake on the front wheel where the earlier table shows a disc. The page's text places this version within a run of B-variants that started in 1976.
