My KT250A2 with "Wonderheat" badge

Post by Bigem »

In the early 90s when I was living in Newcastle, I saw a Kawasaki KT250 at Raymond Terrace with a "Wonderheat" badge attached to the left hand side-cover. I am now the proud owner of a KT250 with a "Wonderheat" badge attached to the left hand side cover.

Could this be the same bike, 15 years or so later, or was there some significance in the "Wonderheat" badge?

Anybody know anything about this bike?

David, it looks like a 70s car emblem and is attached by 2 small clips on the inside of the side-cover.
I am working on the theory that someone put it on the bike and I am indeed llooking at the same bike 800ks and 15 years later.
I was hoping somebody may know the bike and/or the origin of the badge.
Its a strange thing to fit to a trials bike!!
I will take a picture of it later and put it on here, somebody may recognise it?

google informs me Wonderheat is/was a manufacturer of heaters and a/c units. I reckon some card with amazing foresight put it on there to generate a discussion years down the track on the as yet unknown "interweb". Quite remarkable really... :o
