The RT100 is a quite famous little machine...given that it led directly to the ubiquitous RT 125; it was DKW-Auto Union's attempt to cash in on the sub-100cc market opened up in Germany by Fitchel&Sachs and NSU's little 97/98cc engines, often sold to small third-party manufacturers or larger concerns wanting to badge their "own" smallest model in a range...

I'm no bike expert (obviously) so I'm trying to ID this NSU with this particular pipe configuration. 351? Note the civilan plate and white tunic. What is he?

Hi Max,
I can fill in some uniform detail, but not all. He is wearing a M16 helmet, updated with Third Reich decal, is carrying a Mauser G98 of WW1/Weimar vintage, and has a RAD hewer hanging from his waist. He also has a cross-strap from his waist belt. It looks almost like he has put on everything he could find to make himself look military. The jacket looks like a drill or work tunic, so no insignia. Sorry that I cannot help further,
Kerry.

Thanks, Kerry. His getup looked so curious and the bike looked so clean that I was wondering if he may have been a nicely photoshopped reenactor.
Cheers,
Max

Hi Max,

You are right, the motorbike on Your pic is obviously, as far as I can say, the type 351 OSL.
