Thought this might be of interest
18,000 rpm redline isn't so bad for 1966
I think Honda dropped out of racing not to long after this, before Mr. Honda could bankrupt the company making these...

Holy mother of god, thats an evil, evil bike And the way it seems to just float through the corners makes me jump in my chair out of excitement, just beautiful!


Thanks for posting this, just made my otherwise shitty day seem a bit brighter.

Ahhh... The RC166. You know they actually had a bunch of different small cc racers back then? And still power many today, though without corporate sponsorship.

The RC149 really stands out with the 20k+ redline!
Nice RC174 vid. Hilarious watching the blond girls hair blow from the exhaust
