I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

The first Red devil single down tube has a fast engine but is not a very nice bike to ride, it has a husky copy frame without the strength or rigidity!.
The 1980 twin down tube bike is a much better deal to ride once you get it moving around, and it will steer better than your Husky!

Exactly !

but the 80 RA had a fairly mellow motor without work.

depending on the track the more torquey motor of the RA works very well .Smithton 1981 I beat Kelleher on his new 420KX to take C grade and beat everyone on their newer prolinks etc except for Grant Cramer and 3 others in the last feature race.
