RD800 (Daytona x2) & Elsie 0W31

#1 Post by LC Cnd » Mon Jun 20, 2016 4:37 pm

Was reading thru a french form and came across these custom builds. The RD, or DOJ as referred to in the thread, was built in France in 1983. It's a 750 TZ ex Estrosi equipped with cylinders off a couple Elsies. Apprently licenced for the road - imagine. Weight 155kgs . The air cooled - not sure if its real or still exists. Other form members maybe familiar with it. Found a couple RD750 magazine articles and added them to the literature thread for your amusement - au revoir.
