you imagine hearing that in 66, must of been like hearing the future.....
👍
I remember my dad telling me about seeing mike Hailwood at brands on it. Everyone else was just getting off the line on brabham straight when he was already entering paddock hill bend.
Он всех рвет до сих пор 😂😮 ахренеть
That’s my neighbor getting ready to go to work. Every day. 4:10 am on the dot. 6 days a week. He’s like a robot. I appreciate his ethics. I’m glad he’s working through COVID and all but, man alive, I wish he’d pick another route once in a while.
I won’t be able to hear my wife for the rest of the weekend. Thanks Honda!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahaha x.x
Everyone: they don’t build ‘em like this anymore
Allen Millyard: hold my beer 🍺
👍 He has certainly made some incredible bikes!
When TT week was on in 1967 the screaming six could be heard in Blackpool during the early morning practice sessions.
One of the best sounds in all motorsports
It certainly is!
@@CaptainSparkle You have a lot of bike videos.
I will take a look at some later
@@dr.jillalicecooper2587 Thankyou, i hope you find them interesting.
Even Beethoven would need hearing protection when an RC166 is fired up.
That's a symphony in my ears.
The video where they fire one up in a TV studio is unreal.... those that had never heard one almost jumped out their skin !
fantastic, brought back memories. Nothing to prove they already done that its nice to just see them running and enjoying the sounds & smells
Always remember Mike the bike accelerating out of Ballacraine ,goose bumbs, the six was amazing.
That sound of engine screaming like a demon escape from hell
👍
Japan's angriest motorcycle.
I had the good fortune to see this and a couple other bikes being wheeled out for Honda top brass at their headquarters at the IOM (50th anniversary?). I had snapped the clutch lever on my RC30 and someone suggested I go along and see if the Honda works team would lend me one.
They didn't have one (were a bit sniffy about it actually) but I got to see the RC 166 being fired up.
Nothing can prepare you for how loud this bike is.
Indeed, I should have had earplugs in! 👍
I've watched this so many times 😋 x.x
haha! same here! happy memories!
@@CaptainSparkle Happy days! I'm looking forward to this weekend! The Velocette National! I shall try and film as much as I can but we will have a stall too so 🤷♀️ xox
@@wild_childofthe80s Good luck!
@@CaptainSparkle Thank you 🥰 xox
This bike is not a 250cc 6 cylinders but the replica (by George Beale who is present on the video) of a RC174, 297cc 6 cylinders who run in category 350, see the blue disk ! The 250 cc have green disk
That's probably the baddest sounding motorcycle I've ever heard..... Bad in a good way
Agreed 100% 👍
the angriest sounding motorcycle ever !! Pure bliss!
Can you believe we went from this to 250 2 stroke hair dryers
The legendary honda ‼️🌟🌟‼️
It is indeed!
Damn that sound I can feel it how sick Honda at that time
De quoi atomisé, les MV 🤩✔️👊
Superb sound!!!👍
Thanks for listening
The glory days!,
OW! The Castrol is burning my EYES!😭
Yeah, but the smell of Castrol R, racing heaven.
@@satanssurfer5965 I can still smell it!😁
I remember on the island in 1966 seeing and hearing the Honda 6 and the Yamaha 4. You could hear them from 5 miles away. The Honda sounded like a dog barking and the Yamaha sounded like a bumble bee in a jar....
Fantastic Peter, thanks for that memory, wish I could have heard them used "in anger"!
But Standing next to Mike Hailwood on his 500 Honda 4 after finishing the 1968 Senior race.. I’ve got the pics. Thats a memory that gets engraved in your memory.
@@peterroberts3453 👍You lucky man! That'll take some beating!
And the hotel where we were staying just next to it they housed Ago’s MV ‘s .My mate went outside and gave the mechanic a push to get the bike going. That was the days before pit garages and the bikes were all tested on the public roads before the races.
If Honda made bikes like that in the sixties why on earth did they inflict us with the NOGO 250 supper dream in 1978????
Just sounds completely insane would love to see this bike run close up
It does sound bonkers, you really want him to red line it! but I think that would be rather expensive if it went wrong! 😜
The best 4stroke 250cc
Just music ❤❤❤
A symphony!🎶😁
Keith Williams, I know you gotta love this.
Love how fucken calm he was about having to redo that, hahaha fucken old timers . Bad ass.
Trop trop cool je adore cette vidéo☺
Come and see Mister..👍❤️
Beautiful moto
Thankyou (you have awesome playlists too!)
It si not a 250 CC RC166 but a RC174, 297cc 6 cyl. Blue Disc on the fairing signaling this, 250 CC have Green Discs!
Oooohhhh get her!!!!!!
What did I like about the video ...?
The John Player Norton
The Legend
Sound like demon escape from hell
👍
That thing sounds awesome! Oh wait, that's just the engine on the portable starter. I wonder what the bike sounds like?
OMG!!!!!
Good question!
Awesome 😎
Thankyou. Terima kasih.
Soo cool
It must have pistons the size of thimbles.
Imagine what the Honda 125cc, 5 cylinder pistons looked like!!
Screw the pistons- what about all TWENTY-FOUR VALVES!! They put the heads together with tweezers!
Since the number plates are blue, this must be the 297 cc, RC174, and not the RC166 250 cc
most of the weight on this bike is from the rider
Now thats the sound of mean.
It sounds like a combination between a Formula 1 car and a toy car.
Mantap
Terima kasih
Ever notice the Honda GP 6 cylinder bikes sound almost identical to a 3 cylinder 2 stroke 🤔?
Awesome can I have a go sounds brutal
Never thought of that! I should have asked him if I could have had a shot! 😂
That's the 297cc version with black numbers on a blue background.
Honda starting a Honda
Wow
And then, he takes this high reving beast out on the track and is almost lugging it around! What the hell is up with THAT!
cause they are worth $1M+
@@H3avyHaul3r
Hahahahaha.. That right too.
Cool
All the pit guys saying, "Just get on and ride the MFer."
250cc on 6 zyl - wy that crazy engineering ?
@John LEON HONDA resigned from the GP because the organizers limited the number of cylinders in each class.
Check out the even more crazy RC 149. A 125 cc R5 engine with DOHC 4 valve heads.
When Honda ruled racing motorcycle development, 4 cylinder 125's and 6 cylinder 250's, until the governing said that Honda could'nt do that anymore.
Same thing with the Suzuki 50cc twin cylinder rev up to 21K rpm.
Anyway DKW also create turbo two stroke...
Tom Chrisfield, the 125 was a FIVE cylinder!!!
@@milojanis4901 I didn't realize that. Honda engineers weren't afraid to try things outside the box. I remember reading about their 500 road race bike with oval pistons and 22000 rpm's redline engine so peaky it stalled between down shifts.
Sounds like a chain saw on steroids!
👍
Howlin Honda.
Stunning you can see why the British bike industry went under
Ferrari flat 12 vibes
What style motorcycle is in the background at 1:43? Super low, leaning way forward? I know I've seen that style before in an old video or something.
A racing sidecar, I think it's Colin Seeley on a BMW.
@@CaptainSparkle thanks bud👌 I was interested to see if they built bikes like that without the side car but I just looked it up and I don't see any, pretty cool though
Reminds me of that skiff racing sport watching the side car guy leaning all over the place shifting weight, can't decide which looks more intense.
@@benachee1200 Yea, I think it's the same principle, don't lean far enough over & the whole lot flips over!
Every time they get these out it always seems they are choked and not running well.
👍👍👍
Hailwood
MV 1961 und 1962 Fahrer Gary Hocking
Thats why it blew up then.
Wow no flywheel at all
You close the throttle and it stops dead, must have been a hard bike to master ..... unless you're mike the bike
Gila
music from 1966
Hard rock!!
So fast
Eita porra
Amazing sound. Just…music.
Indeed, I could listen to it all day! 😅
Sounds like a bunch of angry growling animals. That's great.
ha ha!😂 thanks, that's a new one, never thought of that! 👍
@@CaptainSparkle yes sir. 6 cylinder 250. Lots going on In that motor. I saw a young fellow with a full Akaprovik exhaust on a Honda Grom. I said it was like mad baby Grizzlies. He said it sounds more like angry bees. Anyways - I'm glad you like motorcycle humor. Angry bees - classic
Is that a Mike Hailwood bike
No, I don't think so , maybe someone could enlighten us?
2506 cylinder the pistons must of been tiny
Indeed, but not as small as the pistons for the 125cc 5 cylinder!
Not much stirs me like that ripping 6
👍Certainly is one hell of a sound!
Wow must have small pistons,short stroke high revving v6😁
Very small! It's an in-line 6, too!
inline 6
62bhp at 18,000 rpm, 31mm stroke, 41mm bore, top speed 149mph.
I think this is actually the 289cc version built to take on the 350cc world championship. If it was a 250cc bike, the side numberplate background should be green, not blue, which indicates it's not a 250.
+mikedicko1 It is an exact recreation/replica of the Honda RC174 297cc, originally built to win the 350cc world championship.
The only difference is Mike Hailwood knew how to operate and ride the bleeding thing!
God of engines japanese
I think there is something coming down the leg of his leathers
And can u blame the man 4 getting a hard-on?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thankyou, Спасибо.
@@CaptainSparkle 👋🙏
Gears on the right ???
Right or left. If you see one, the shafts are there for gearshift leaver and brake pedal. Pure genius. The fellow that made this machine.
He was either 23 or 26 when he designed it.
From drawing board to race track in six months.
Just has to be the most iconic motorcycle ever in my opinion.
Old Bernie Sanders to the right there just thought it was just way to fricken loud at about 1:12
Bwahahahahaha! You said "Bernie Sanders"! That made me spit coffee!👍👍👍
Je mancano le mutande de latta😂😂
I think the is a wet spot at the back of his leathers
カワサキに対抗して6気筒250cc販売しよう
誰が勝ちますか？
BikerForce..Though About The Evil.Sound Ot The '60s !?!,..AH Ha a a ))))
Daytona maybe
Sounds like a sheet of paper being rapidly torn.
ha ha! That's one I hadn't thought of!!........................now you come to mention it!
Top speed??
Approx 150MPH (240KPH) I think.
Fastest speed I recall the 250 cc RC166 doing was 156 mph at the 1967 Belgian GP, the 250cc RD05A Yamaha V4 ridden by Phil Read went through the timing lights at 172mph during that race which Read won.
297 cc so 350 RC 174
Little teeny piston
Little teeny valves to match.
Pistonnya sekecil apa yah? wkwkw
mungil?
my first bike was CBX1000 at 14y old(^o^ﾒ)ψ
押しがけマシンだぁ
👍 14？うわー！ cbx1000は大きな排気でいい音がします！(google translate!)
それがRX-3とRX-7のフルチューン爆音で育ったので、静かなCBX1000エンジン音に爆音演歌で父親は走ってて。
中高生だった僕は演歌かけずに乗りましたけども🤣
R100にしても普通の音でしたよ。
うわー！ RX3とRX7は素晴らしいサウンドだったに違いありません！ 多分これらのように？ ua-cam.com/video/7IwRJA5WI_k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=THEcaptainsparkle
RX-3はマレーシアの頃だったので爆音でしたが。。。
まだ叔父が他界した30バンクあったFISCOのレースですが、これと同じぐらい車内で会話ムリな爆音でした。
ua-cam.com/video/-FxRKMD071o/v-deo.html
南青山表参道でそんな爆音RX-7は当時ムリでした。
とは言え僕のハーレーはそれなりに響きますが🤪
ua-cam.com/video/WrgdoTwpE1Y/v-deo.html
Rh gears.
I was going to say it too, stop pissing around and ride the bike
SOGNI D ORO ....
Is not Hailwood who wants ......
Ab 1963 Agostini
