remember seeing Mike Hailwood on the 250-6 at Oulton Park in the mid-60s. He was coming out of Deer Leap sat up behind Peter Inchley(flat on the tank) on a single cylinder Villiers. After a few laps Hailwood put the hammer down and passed Inchley but the fell off at the hairpin and Inchley swept by. Mike remounted and then gave us all a real treat as he wound the Honda flat out; you could hear it wailing round the track from wherever you stood. Didn't take him long to recover and extend the lead. I'm 67 next month and can still remember the day...fabulous!!
Oliver Barrera And that was in the mid 60's , the bike rocked up at its first race with only 4 pipes , the other 2 were fitted just before the bike was started .
I was one of the lucky blokes who have seen & heard good old Mike Hailwood do a demorun on his old Honda RC166 during the pause of the 1980 Dutch T.T. I'll never forget that beautiful sound.... :-).
i had several honda 350s...including a four...right little screamer...great bike...i worked in a bike shop...got to ride lots of great bikes..ducati 750..triumph trident yamaha 650..xs1...i eventually brought a Yamaha TX 500 brand new...my dream bike in 1974
Honda should still be making bikes just like this! At the very least, the STYLE of 'em. Guy Martin's CBR from the IOM TT - same livery and for ONCE, the CBR actually looked pretty damn sexy! I love the bubble fairings and the wire spokes - doing the same stuff with my "CB900K0 Bol Bomber" - homage to the '65 CB450K0 Black Bomber, base on an '82 CB900F Bol D'OR - get it? Of course YOU get it heh-heh. But yeah, wire spoke wide alloy rims with sport-touring radials, bubble fairing, "ducktail" style seat from the sand-cast, a bubble fairing from the Duck 900SS, the CB1100R's alloy gas tank with the sides polished up all "toaster tank" style, for the Black Bomber reference of course - SOHC era hubs for triple discs with 296mm rotors up front, - at some point I plan to upgrade to a thicker TRAC fork, either GL1500 41mm or two 43mm TRAC legs from the right side of a pair of ST1100-ABS's - a bit of fudging to make that work, but it IS the biggest thickest TRAC fork Honda ever made, so it's almost worth the hassle! This bike will have everything retro-fried in the aesthetic sense, but with the appropriate period-correct specs on all the running gear for best-of-the-era performance upgrades. Yet at the same time, avoiding too many crotch-rocket parts 'cause that stuff RUINS a good classic superbike IMHO....
As loud and ear piercing as the RC166 250cc Six is when your close to it. Honda's little RC149 125cc 5 cylinder seems even harder on your ear drums. Because these Bikes turn these 18,000+rpm; They almost sound like they could be 2 strokes. With FIM Sound Decibel Rules on todays Moto GP Bikes. Anything back in the days of the RC166,149,181 or any other Brand that used open Megaphone Exhaust; you wouldn't even get past tech because you would probably be pegging the Decibel Meter. That's when real GP Racing was; Thundering Sound Engines that just awed you !
+steve matz And on that note try on you tube HONDA 125 5 CYLINDER AT GOODWOOD FOS 2002 and on 4 wheels try HONDA F1 RA272 1965 1,5 V12 NA SOUND and a mid 1960s gem of a road car 9k plus redline and a roller bearing crank pity all to much/soon the car "fans" who get all maxed out over modern honda vtecs and mr toyota,s sorry lexus lfa with mr yamaha ,s late 1990s engine tech try HONDA S800 1968 WEB MR BIKE but for the bike still not up to the 2 strokes !!
somehow the CBX just looked right . when I first saw the Goldwing , I thought I was back on drugs , my first was a 77 bagger . It did spin the tires a full 1/4 mile , empty it did 130 , full load and 2 people 125 . I had 2 wings .
2:40 you do know that is not a Honda engine... He's an motoGP mechanic from Tech3 build that bike by himself, he has loads of sick bikes! But not a Honda RC166
I wonder if Honda ever considered a road version. I could use a bike like that-sounds like you're going 150 when you're maybe going 50. It would probably save me some tickets.
Hola. No se si estoy errado, pero creo que debería ser 6 pistones, con 175cc cada uno, y si sumas 6 serían 1050 cc en total... De todas maneras me sigo quedando con las motos honda de 4 cilindros... Saludos desde viña del mar Chile...
Emilio Rojas Hi Emilio, this bike is the Honda RC166 with 249cc. The bike with 1050cc is the Honda CBX 1050, see in this video: czcams.com/video/icmNravUbrQ/video.html. Thanks for the comment! I hope you enjoy the video! Best regards!
It's a very small engine. Moto3 uses 250cc 4-strokes engines but those are single-cylinder ones! A modern-day RC166 with a modern chassis and all would hit speeds close to the ones of Moto2 on a closed circuit
It's Guy Coulons 300cc inline 6 prototype machine. Here's an article about it, enjoy! thekneeslider.com/300cc-inline-6-cylinder-by-guy-coulon-a-22000-rpm-race-engine-personal-project/
remins me of the Porche 911 turbo guy who coulnt entertain the idea , that a Formula three car with just 180 bhp was faster around a typical race circuit than his thing,,.., just gave him a copy of autosport and said , "read if you can"
maybee the fact that a 2 stroke motor has twice the firing intervals of a 4 stoke , completly fried the brains of the "pub gobshite" below !!!!! the cpgb one i put an expansion chamber on my fizzie and it went 65 sort of thing lol so funny,,
Haha, that's actually Guy Coulon crew chief for Bradley Smith at Tech3 motogp team testing his own creation. A 300cc Inline 6 prototype, no way is he a squid.
60 hp, 18,000 rpm, 150 mph. 2 x 250 cc World Championships and 2 x 350 cc World Championships with a 250 bored to 297 cc. Interestingly the 250 produced 240 hp/litre about the same as current MotoGP bikes. Slow as fuck? Your brain is slow as fuck. It is still regarded as the greatest racing motorcycle of all time. Honda, and many Japanese enthusiasts regard this machine like it's a God of their engineering creativity. What have you done that is noteworthy?

RC166 ....6 cylinders 24 valves....YES, 6 CYLINDERS for a 250cc 4stroke engine....What a master of engineers..

Straight into my heart through my ears.
It always cracks me up that they found the biggest Japanese guy in the entire country to ride that day.

Best sounding motorrcycle i have ever heard
La mejor moto de competencia que ha existido
Sounds better than actual F1. LOL

The 1965 model had a 39mm bore and the 66' and 67' had a 41mm bore(w shorter stroke).
A common shot glass is 47mm !
They used to put the cylinder head together with tweezers- no joke!!

Laurens Olijve
Up to 2.37 is the Honda RC166 , then the French chap until close to the end when the modified CBX1000 finishes off
I believe the reason they wanted a 6-cyinder is because of the near perfect balance of a inline-6 engine. It would had been easier to build a V4.
i want to take that engine and put it inside my CBR 125.
esse som e lindo kkkk imagina so o cano fd
I wonder if Honda ever considered a road version. I could use a bike like that-sounds like you're going 150 when you're maybe going 50. It would probably save me some tickets.
Kid, sound limitations are there for a reason. Also, the Honda CBX1100 sounds a bit like this since the engine is a 6-cylinder too
Holy sh*t
Shame the CBX 6 road bike didn't sound like that, or go that well !

@,@
pingiiin
The driver is a shame they should have take a wild one
It is one of the rarest most unique bikes in the World, it should be treated with care. It's not like anybody is going to build another one!

Why aren't they using this engine in the 2017 McLaren's, it'd be faster and more reliable...

PLEASE... never compare bikes to boremula one..... the most un-interesting "sport" known to man.
smpre sti giapponesi che no ie boni de tirar le moto
6 cylinders and still slow as fuck....
that thing is a 250, you know? :D I think for a 1966 250 this thing hauls ass! 65hp at about 20.000rpm if i recall correctly
approx. 42cc size pistons in each cyl why ?
mike carr the lighter the pistons and the other engine parts the more rpm that engine can take. More rpm means more peak power.
60 hp, 18,000 rpm, 150 mph. 2 x 250 cc World Championships and 2 x 350 cc World Championships with a 250 bored to 297 cc. Interestingly the 250 produced 240 hp/litre about the same as current MotoGP bikes. Slow as fuck? Your brain is slow as fuck.
