Geoff I had a white tank 1980 one, think it had a black and a blue stripe on tank.   Here I have found a piccy in "Bike Pics" of a similar animal.

Looks rough but is a runner.

Don't trust that guy, he says it out dragged a TT600
He’s obviously lying :D :D


Is the white DT a 400 Tim ?
The 250's were different colours.

I guess I stand corrected but I only remember the red and yellow ones.

Thanks floberts, I saw that one but as usual its too far away.

I need something within a couple of hours of Mewcastle or a seller that will help with transport.

Yes Geoff the later ones came as 250's and 400's in white different coloured stripes.   The 400 I had was another fully registered bike I stupidly on sold.
