Not just about being fast, it's about being fast within the limits of your machine over 200 miles. The old master Mann knew how to get it done. That bike of Mann's was just about to dump the last bits of oil out onto the track and roll or grind to a stop. He barely brought it home. Mann allowing Romero to gain time was a strategy of Mann and crew chief Bob Hansen to hold the bike together. The smart/dumb Honda brass at the track were infuriated at this and terrified Romero would take the lead away. Hansen rightly told them to eat his shorts, or words to that effect--and was fired for making the right choice. Stupid Japanese culture at the time, submission to authority favored over doing the right thing. Hansen and Mann got them the win, though.

They put massive amounts of money, R&D and the top experts in the world into developing those exotic Honda 750s, then have some tipsy mechanic slop on paint for the numbers and literally paint racing numbers on the leathers! As a former sign painter all I have to say is....whaaaaaa???

I attended and recall afterward that Cycle magazine featured Honda/Mann on its cover---90 HP screamed the headline. Innocent days were they.

this was my 2nd Daytona 200, my first In '69 when Dick Mann won on the BSA - I remember riding my Honda CL175 up from West Palm Beach and camping out on the west side campgrounds, watching the race from various parts of the infield-

The next year Dick Man won the race on a BSA. He was one of those old school American racers that could win on dirt tracks or road courses.

日本からです。リトルホンダP25とＴ360が現行車種として映像に映し出されていることとN360（N600）が出てきていないことから1966年秋から1967年初頭の間に制作された記録映像と推測されます。

As I recollect, the Hondas in that event had problems with the cam chain stretching. Man was smart to take it easy on his bike.

@ccrider8483 Жыл бұрын

I have been told the smoke produced by the Honda in the latter part of the race was due to oil getting by the valve seals. I think it took someone of Mann's experience to bring that bike home as it was not really developed for a race of this distance.

This was the First ever Formula 750 race. A popular series when the main interest in GP racing was to see who finished runner up to Agostini in the big classes or the interesting 250 and smaller classes

I have watched this 3x now. I own 3 complete Suzuki T20 Super Sixes which I bought really cheap in California 30 years ago. and a Suzuki Invader T200 which I often ride. I loved the 1960s styling and the simplicity if these little fun bikes. Modern 'plastic rockets' look so ugly, uncomfortable and boring.

The vast numbers(people, equipment, and production) from the quality of the finished product to the MASS production, REMEMBER, we're talking about the '60s, in my opinion Honda was FAR ahead of it's time and WAY ahead of the American two wheeled products!!! And I don't even like them!

@ryanthompson2893 2 жыл бұрын

Harley was thinking of building cars in the 60s. They were three wheeled I think. They also were seriously considering making an all new inline 4 air cooled motorcycle around 1964-1965. (Would have taken the world by storm assuming they didn’t fuck it up) Unfortunately, they canceled their 4 cylinder project and as a result we’re eaten alive by Honda. Too bad since they had a few prototypes, but unfortunately they were all destroyed and almost nobody knows about these bikes that were way ahead of their time.

In 1970, all Honda did was prove they could spy on Kawasaki and, using their manufacturing prowess, be able to beat the Z1 to market. The CB750 still looked like every other Japanese motorcycle, an oversized scooter. The Z1 looked like a motorcycle should, it kicked everyone's asses and changed the motorcycling world forever.

It was all a Japanese conspiracy to conquer the motorcycle world. They were all friends who divided the market amongst themselves.

The engineers who did so much innovation in the 1960s were transferred to the car division. Also, Soichiro retired in the 70s and the bike end lost direction. Failed ideas like the cbx6 and V4.

Early Hondas were not perfect...re; 4 speed transmission on the cb72 cb 77 wasn't the best, neither the auto advance unit. nor the early chain driven primary with out the tensioner. The cylinder liners were known to weep oil being prone to movement. You cant lift the top cover off the motor unless you take it out of the frame, but other than that, they're a well built little machine, the brakes are awesome better than that crap front disc on the cb750 and the rear chain (one of five chains on the cb72/77) is the same size and links of that on an FLH Harley, and all with an electric start
