RC181(1967)です。
ホンダ初のGP500クラスのマシンです。
デビューは1966年でメーカータイトルを得ましたが
翌年はライダー、メイクス共に2位でした。
マシン調子は良好です。ホンダお得意の超マルチエンジンとは

First time I and my mates saw this bike was at The Dutch TT in 1966 with Hailwood and Redman riding it. After we had been to Le Mans to see the Ford GT40s. What a summer that was.

[@franktechmaniac7488]

... and noboby would ever have believed that 4 cylinder 4 stroke 600 engines with even more power would be street legal today and good for 100 tkm of daily driving.

[@thatoceanvibe2058]

I am already watching this for an hour now, I am OBSESSED with this sound

[@lemueledselcruz]

That sounds glorious, what a growl.

[@miracell1992]

Holy shit, an eargasm :)))) i wich i was born earlier to witness those GP races of the 60's

[@donr2176]

Go to" 1967 TT revisited" on you tube to hear the Honda 6 and this 4 at speed.. I was there at the Isle of Man TT .. Fantastic sounds!!

[@tonyguest9744]

This sound is good but check out the Honda 250cc 6 cylinder. It will make your hair stand up.

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

SOMEONE ONCE POSTED THAT THEY WANTED THIS PLAYED AT THEIR FUNERAL 🤣

[@tombombadil2793]

One of the best sounds ever.

[@MiniOne82]

one of my fave Bikes of all time.

[@thatoceanvibe2058]

What a magnificent sound my goodness

[@Spectrolite1]

Aircooled, Carbureted 4-Cyl 😍

[@VwBora06]

Beautiful downshifts

[@robertsykes6309]

That is a beautiful sounding motorcycle.

[@masgatz]

Amazing sound

[@timwright8785]

Like music to your ears sounds glorious

[@czechtakumi]

beautiful

[@davidboardman8590]

Who is the lucky bastard that got to ride that??

[@sebsprint]

Nice sound!!

[@joepkortekaas8813]

This was NOT the first Honda 500 cc, the first RC 181 appeared in 1966 and had reverse cones on the megaphones.This is the RC 181N. Read my book "Honda's Four Stroke Race History 1954 ~ 1981".

[@iDayno]

Amazing!

[@echoschannel5048]

Waaw that's Cool sound Man 😮😁😁😁

[@joannemarc9121]

Absolutely amazing 👌💪

[@Deckay_F]

Yes !👍

[@theshameofthesun]

Mike Hailwood won the TT on a 500cc Honda... he beat Giacomo Agostini...I think he had trouble...You must believe Mike rode the the wheels off the bike

[@misterjones7929]

Could those white clad Honda technicians achieve anything less than mechanical perfection? Sounds perfect as well! (I speak as a witness to Hailwood dicing with Ago at Brands Hatch in 1967)

[@fredericom.semedo1626]

Amazing

[@mei123ko]

Schade das so was klangschönes nicht mehr hergestellt wird...

[@krisztianhorvath8302]

Perfect

[@Ezz800]

At lower RPM, it sounds similar to a 180° firing twin cylinder.

[@markgolding8946]

When it comes on cam it almost sounds like a two stroke 😁

[@ianmangham4570]

Definitely, sounds like a big suzi kettle with pipes on

[@alanbartlett9523]

Saw Hailwood and Agostini at Mallory Park in the sixties, something you never forget.

[@geo7652]

Yeah, going round Gerrards at Mallory, what great memories.

[@alanbartlett9523]

@@geo7652 Have just completed the Tamiya model of the six. Cant stop looking at it, beutifull machine.

[@wildmanrobsonsprinter4503]

WOW!!!! I'm in love

[@pratamawisnumahendrakusuma1266]

nice

[@remonviana]

con una honda como esta ( 500 ccm3 y 4 cilindros y 4 tiempos ) conquisto MIKE HAILVOOD el campeonato del mundo de velocidad en la maxima categoria ( entonces ) 1967 año en que honda se retiro. hasta reaparecer nuevamente en 1979.

[@kicaukalimantan4860]

Gurih banget suaranya

[@caesarillion]

I wonder how much power you can get out of the new CBR500 if you get inside?

[@angelalcarazmerono2869]

Da terror escucharla

[@trgyou7529]

ซุ้มเสียงร้าวใจจริงๆ

[@mikeyerke3920]

Nothing like the sound of handmade exhaust systems!

[@joepkortekaas8813]

These exhaust were definitely NOT hand made!

[@razor1uk610]

indeed, hands, elbow grease (biceps), + blow-torch heat, + mandrels, and a lot of skilled brazing & careful usages of files, along with mathematical equations for the many specific dimensions, lengths & angles = Beautiful Petrolated Revving Sounds

[@ogri214]

The RC181 was a great bike but it needed a Genius rider like Hailwood to get the best from it

[@joepkortekaas8813]

You forget that Jim Redman won the first two races on the RC181, and had trained faster than both Hailwood and Ago on Francorchamps.

[@VituloMotoVlog]

Helloo Mr. Deckay_F. May I insert your video (from 03:35 until 05:00) about RC 181 in my video for my youtube channel? because I want to make a video about RC 181 for my youtube channel. I will add the credit/link source from your channel in the video and in the description video. Thank you before.

[@leinad6665]

Real sound the godzilla!!

[@alfredopuentes4645]

La montura que trae las alas del viento honda

[@user-cw4wy7xh1j]

私が見たいのは、映像中のライダーMH氏ではなく、実際 のRC181のグランプリライダーであるMH氏が、 約２年後のデイトナ200mph での予選から決勝までの映像を見たいのですが・・・。どこで見られますかね

[@yessure5291]

The track needs to be 4 times bigger

[@mr.x6409]

Honda engineer don't need a long track to test their engine.. Just listen to the exhaust to ensure that the bike is fast enough or not.. 😂

[@kianbrowne358]

kian 😚

[@motorcyclelife_kr]

혼다 이런 디자인으로 판매해준다면 정말 한대 구입하고 싶네요.

[@irwanferiwirawan7383]

Mewah

[@danielmmx]

Será que tinha freio para parar essa potência toda?🤔🤔🤔

[@friedemannschulz9329]

Guter Klang und ne Menge PS......aber lebensmüde Trommelbremsen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

[@franktechmaniac7488]

Vorn ist das eine Doppelduplex Bremse, und hinten auch eine Duplex. Weisst Du Milchbubi überhaupt, was das bedeutet?

[@joepkortekaas8813]

Mike Hailwood hatte doppelte Scheibenbremsen versucht, aber preferierte diese "lebensmüde" Trommelbremse!

[@sandyrawk13]

Kawaii

[@mickkennedy1344]

Sounds better at 'Speed 2'. :))

Oliko Ilmajoelta? Itellä meinas tulla kakka housuun, kun olin vaimon vaarin kyydissä siellä. Pappa 80+ ikää päästeli melkein satasta neljänkympin rajoituksella...

How much is this beautiful bike worth today.lots and lots of say

[@nolascopereira5519]
