Wrong tank stickers on the DT, yes?

They're the CT1 style stickers, which I've not seen on a DT before.

Not much. I had one nearly as good and all original. Got $400 for it.

My thoughts exactly. Why would beige bikes like the above trio of girly bikes be in a museum? Was the museum called: The Queensland Museum of the Bland and Boring? The pride of the museum would surely be the Toyota Camry and Mitsubisi Sigma display, not to mention the "History of the Trimatic Transmission" display in the engineering section. :P

I heard that a town in Queensland has opened a museum dedicated to 'All Things Billy Goat' so I suppose anything is possible ::).

Exciting, or historically interesting?

Maybe the KE is a bit obscure, but the DT is a good representative example of a 1970s trailbike.
Whether they give you a chubby or not, such bikes are an important part of motorcycling history - while something like an Ossa Phantom is immeasurably sexier, it also has much less historical signifcance.
