I raced against Mike Hailwood in the late 60's. Well, I didn't, but my motorcycle did. At 14, I was too young to have a license, so a good friend volunteered to race my Yamaha 90 against Hailwood and his 6 cylinder motorcycle at the newly opened drag strip in Gulfport, Ms. Hailwood's bike still had it's road race gearing, which left him slipping the clutch halfway down the track just to get it up to 2nd gear. Even w/ a 5 second spot he easily won the race. I'll never forget the sound of Hailwood's engine, it was a screamer.

Yes ... beautiful machinery. Cheers Watanabe!

[@johnnycomelately6341]

What a work of art, encore! 👏

[@VdInsel9]

I always remember seeing Mike coming out of a bend and give it full throttle, the awesome power pulled the swinging arm up so that it was a solid rear end and the back of the bike jumped sideways but he still kept it on full throttle. There will never be another Mike Hailwood!!! I always wondered if his Japanese bikes had the gear change on the left, great to see his had it on the right, the British side :-))

[@goran2003]

Beautiful memories.

What a superb motorcycle. Beautiful and sounds fantastic! 👍👍👍

[@goran2003]

Many thanks! Cheers Rob!

[@mikef.1000]

I remember reading a lengthy motorcycle mag article years ago (forget what mag it was) about the process George Beale went through to replicate this machine. It remains the most incredible build I've ever heard of.

[@goran2003]

Seeing and hearing this motorcycle live is truly a worthwhile experience. Cheers Mike. Have a good time!

[@olivertoeknuckleiii2093]

Imagine how Mr Honda felt, he had to create the thing! The engineering involved was way ahead of its time.

[@johnhearn5680]

Being an old fart, saw all these bikes race at Brands Hatch, Honda, Yamaha, MV, all sorts. The noise was beautiful !!!!!

[@goran2003]

Cheers John!

[@900BEN]

Lets not forget Jim Redmans input on these machines

[@paulharvey8334]

i saw the real Honda 6 when i was a teenager at Brands Hatch with Mike Hailwood riding it, what an awesome sound that i will never forget, i haven't heard any racing engine that sounds as good.

[@goran2003]

Sound is still quite impressive and unforgettable... Cheers Paul!

[@robwatkins1547]

I used to love going to the post TT races at Mallory Park, we used to sit in the stand at Gerard's Bend and the sound of Hailwood's Honda and Agostini's MV resonating of the tin walls are unforgettable, not forgetting all of the rest greats that gave joy to all of us.

[@goran2003]

@@robwatkins1547 Sweet memories. Cheers Rob!

[@GrahamNewman-mq7gr]

I come from a era of watching these machines. Original ones had 3 sets of "Points on ignition system yes." No electronics in those days. They never broke down and reved to telephone numbers.

[@goran2003]

Cheers Graham!

[@900BEN]

Honda authorised George Beale to make one . He had an original to copy and draw ....I think if you've got deep pockets they cost about £250.000 / $320.000

Jeder Gasstoss eine Keule aufs Ohr ,brutal!!

[@nicolacalabrese9317]

Che gioellino bella

[@Hermann_58]

So, und nicht anders muss sich ein Rennmotor anhören. Kann gar nicht laut genug sein. Ich habe früher auf der alten Nordschleife oft am Ausgang der Südkehre gestanden, weil dort alle, egal ob Rennwagen oder Motorräder immer das Gas voll aufgerissen haben. Abends hatte man immer noch Klingeln in den Ohren. Das gab's nur einmal, das kommt nie wieder.......

[@goran2003]

Servus Hermann! I'm still a little deaf ... first the 6-cylinder Agusta 350 last month, and now this Japanese/British wonder ... it's not easy for me ... Enjoy!

[@georgecunningham7916]

OK great bit of engineering. But priming the carbs are a motor to get it started? Remember mike hailwood was presented with this bike halfway through the season no time to get used to it just get on and race it And a bump start.

Trop cool! Mais il y a mieux; En 1964 La Honda 166, de six cylindres 4 temps 249 cm3 de 60 CH à 18000 tours minute . 6 échappements qui hurles. Une bécane de malade avec un son de dingue, à reconvertir un écolo en buveur de fioul.

[@goran2003]

RC174 is the direct successor to the RC166. Roughly speaking, RC174 is RC166 with 297cc ... Cheers Gilles!

[@hanswache1240]

Verstehe nicht,warum der immer wie irre am Gasdrehgriff herumdreht.

The engine warm-up procedure for these old motorcycles is quite different. There is no idle, and the minimum revolutions are 6K ... six small pistons and six small cylinders of 50cc each ... Cheers Hans!

[@gtan431]

....really mate? what a boring statement to make....

[@peterg2yt]

@@gtan431You have to get the bike up to temperature before riding it, which is exactly what he was doing here. I do the same with mine.

So the sound a Honda Six makes to your ears is "Vrooom Vrooom "? Really !!? Better ask a real bloke to explain it to you.....
