Honda RC181 race replica - cold start on rollers

Here's our friend Dave Mitchell starting up his Honda RC181 race replica on race rollers.
Dave's starting point for this project was a seized Honda CB550 that was left to rot, but he had a dream to turn it into a Honda RC181 Race Replica and do a lap of the Isle of Man. In 2012 Dave completed the bike you see here and a lap of the Isle of Man.
We produced a full length video on this project and it's over on our main channel here • Classic Racing Motorbi...

Fabulous motorcycle and just the right amount of volume :)

Dead loss or total loss? Didn`t sound like a dead loss to me, sounded great. Another great video, thank you

Fantastic Motorcycle even though a replica. 👌

[@joepkortekaas8813]

No, it's NOT a replica! It's just a (not very good) look-alike!

[@joepkortekaas8813]

Nice looking bike, but as usual, it's not even close to a replica! It's just a look-alike (i.e., if you don't come too close!)
