Difference between RD04 (90~92) and RD07 (93~) are:

The RD07 have:
- seat 1.5 cm lower
- foam seat 2 cm thicker
- removable seat (tool box beneath)
- gravity centre lower (don't know how much)
- new frame
- rear suspension course 1 cm longer
- 3 kg less
- 3 hp more
- tank 23 l instead of 24
- air filter inside the tank
- lost the two fuel level lamps :-(
- fuel tap with res pos
- different body parts (fairing ...)
- different carbs
Did I miss something ?

According to people having driven both, RD07 is a little lighter, but
feels
a lot lighter.

Pierre

PS: of course, the only 'true' AT is the RD04. RD07 is just a attempt to
civilize it.
