Straight out of the US, with title, this just sold for 5000 bucks. Restored ones, ready for the road, are fetching 8000 bucks over here :shock:

I've got a 4,000 mile old first year with electric start Twin Jet 100 sitting in my dining room, at the window, on a coffee table, and its later counterpart, the one that looks like that one. I also have two of the RD200's sitting in the restore area, haven't even come close to getting to them.

I only ride the Twin Jet about half a mile when I got done with the cosmetics, but it was as I remembered they were, just plain fun fast for a 100.

Yerington, Nevada, 80 miles south east of Reno, a nice, easy 20 minute ride by FAST motorcycle.

Yup, 240 mph requires a fast motorcycle!

I love the looks of that little 100 . I've just purchased a Rd400. Looking forward to riding it someday.

Yup, it IS a nice ride, no matter the speed and time. At 60 to 70 mph, Reno is about 90 minutes, Cartoon City, about 65 minutes either way, through Minden one direction, Dayton the other. Two lane mostly, but, wide open all the way.
