yes it was scary fast..i raced in the 80 exp class and was quite successful winning and ran novice open class and was able to blow past the big bikesMan there was a 'gang' of us that road around the neighborhood. 4 of us had Yamaha Enduro 100's (covering 3 different model years). One kid had a YZ80 and the one 'fat kid' had an RM80. You'd "think" that would have been a disadvantage as he probably was pushing double the weight of some of us. That RM would smoke all of us every single time!
