Agreed with that. The RD07 Frame ist definitely not as strong as the RD04
frame.
Just ask Bruno from the Swiss Africa Twin Club. Two rather heavy jumps with
his
RD07 and the frame was bent. An the fork tubes too.
Ok, Bruno is not quite the lightweight guy, but it helped me choose the
right bike...
I have two RD04s down in the Garage now :-)
Found a '91 ("all colour") RD04, 26Mm, with center stand and top case, in
right-out-of-the-box condition.
Paid sFr 6k5.-
Steering head bearing needs to be changed however, and of course WP Springs
an Givi windshield are mandatory.
