Hi,

I don't know about US imports, but some guys from the US here on the list
have got ATs. Hopefully, they'll see your message.

I've got an RD04 (1991 model), but if I got one today, it would be the
newer RD07 (1993 and later models) beacuse the improved balance and stiffer
frame. And I would repaint it without delay!!! :-) (they forgot the looks
when they improved the frame)

>Why not the other models?

Actually, all the ATs are very good bikes. Whichever you choose, you won't
go wrong. And on dirt roads, you'll be eating Super Ténérés for breakfast!

Keep sliding
