speedway bicycle are different than track bicycle, with it's zero rake fork and the slack seat tube, Kerley is quite right that the speedway bicycle may be diffcuilt to ride on everyday.
the clue is in the fork - zero rake.
Track bike are (generally) fine on the road, the difference is that they're stiffer/more aggressive/higher bb than a road bike.
even 70's track geo are similar to modern road bike (mostly because road are much better nowadays than in the 70's).
