Believe it or not a mate of mine had one of those in Brisbane and we used to go riding up at Mt glorious/Mt Mee on it.
About 1973.

As cool as they sound and look, the RT450 is a bit of a dog. The BSA B50 is so much a better bike there's almost no comparison. Ducati actually went backwards when they went from the sixties 'narrow case' 250/350 to the 'wide case' 250/450.
Having said that, I'd like a motor if anyone's got one. ;)
