Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted October 9, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted October 9, 2018 I was stationed in Germany the year after Honda quit Grand Prix racing so I didn't get to see them race. But a guy we drank with got to see them race and he said the sound of the RC166 would raise the hair on the back of your neck. He said it just screamed. 6 cylinders, 250 cc, and 20,000 rpm. Woof. OTOH I did get to see/hear the MV's, with Agostino, of the day, and they were way cool too. Not to mention the ear shattering 2 strokes of Yamaha and Suzuki. Phil Read on the Yamaha. Another woof.

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted October 9, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted October 9, 2018 I used to race in CCS Florida series (not a humble brag, I sucked!) and there were a few Honda bikes that looked and sounded very much like that. I assume they were the same RC161? No idea, but I really wanted to get involved in that if I were to find another series other than 600s at the time. There was also a couple CBXs running around. Talk about an amazing sound! Gutted race pipes on an inline 6 going 'round Homestead! WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
