Nice Weld!
I have a true love for the old dual sports (before they were called that), regardless of brand. Probably great memories from my youth.... This one will be more of a collector/restoration than an actual rider. I've had (all quite used) an AT1 (125), CTI (175) and a DT1 (250) before getting this one. My middle brother had a '71 Suzuki 185 Sierra I used to sneak away with when he was in college and my oldest brother brought back an RT1 (360) from Japan on the ship before they were being sold in the US, back when he was doing his Viet Nam tour of duty. Fortunately, he left it at our house between leaves....with the keys!
I felt like I was the coolest kid at the swimmin' pond when I was riding that. :-)
