Well, in my case you would have lost your house! In an unlimited
modification class I would have to agree with you but the class David is referring to,
the bikes have to remain in production form which means no porting or expansion
chambers for the RD. I raced my Ambo against a few RDs & they would take me
off the line but the Ambo handles as well & has a greater top speed. I was never
beaten by an RD. The one time I raced against an H1, I lapped him in 6 laps.
