Excellent Information, thanks for Sharing!
I have 3/4 of a matching numbers DT1SA plus an engine by itself and i am quite interested to see the "station" decal and read about the bike details.
In Australia, the biggest farms are called "stations" either a cattle station or a sheep station for example. The largest is some 5,850,000 acres (9100 square miles) with many others in the millions of acres as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_stations_in_Australia
Perhaps the bike, it's wide ratio gearing and name was aimed at that market??
