I'm afraid I would have to bet the house on the Yamaha
RD's...having had many of them myself. I can't think
of any two bikes more different from each other than a
RD400 and an Ambo with drum brakes...it seems silly to
put them on the same starting line...I think the real
question would be how many times would the RD lap the
Ambo? ;>....

Machines must use the standard production OEM frame, swingarm, forks and handlebar mounts. Engines must be original OEM bore and stroke regardless of displacement (plus allowable overbore, as described in rule 9.7). Classes are Lightweight (four-strokes up to 500cc, 250cc two-strokes and certain 350cc two-strokes) and Heavyweight (four-strokes up to 750cc and 350-500cc two-strokes). 10.6.1 RIDER ELIGIBILITY: This class is intended for novice and non-professional veterans. 10.6.3 Among the eligible Historic Production Heavyweight motorcycles are: BMWR75/5 BSA, all 650 and 750 two- or three-cylinder Ducati 750 round-case Sport or GT(NO DESMOS) Honda 750 four-cylinder Honda 500T two-cylinder Kawasaki 500 two-stroke Laverda SF750 (SFCmust compete in Formula 750) Moto Guzzi 750 (V7 Sport must compete in Formula 750 or Sportsman 750) Norton, all 650/750 (except short stroke) Suzuki 500 two-stroke Triumph, all 650/750 two-valve head, two- or three-cylinder Yamaha RD series 350/400 two-stroke Any other classes available?
