Ever since Soichiro Honda visited the Isle of Man in 1954 there has been a special affinity between the Japanese marque and the TT races. In a new release from Duke Video, Honda's Golden Year TT Years DVD examines, year by year, the extraordinary success the company has enjoyed at the world-famous tournament. Soichiro Honda did much of the market research for his products, as far as travelling to races all over the world and examining the machines of his competitors.
His dedication took Honda motorcycles from a disappointing finish in their first international race in 1954 to a manufacturer's team prize in the 1959 Isle of Man TT. Quoted as saying, "only by winning at the Isle of Man TT can we open our way towards becoming a world enterprise and to selling our product internationally," these words would resonate through the years as Honda produced some of the most memorable machines and greatest champions the world would ever see on two wheels.
The DVD stars TT top guns such as Mike Hailwood, Jim Redman, Steve Hislop, Carl Fogarty, Phil McCallen and the late, great Joey Dunlop, the film features road racing of the highest calibre. The 1967 Diamond Jubilee Senior TT shows the great battle between Hailwood and Agostini in all its glory. Original commentary from a young Murray Walker adds a touch of class, while the DVD invites fans to turn up the volume and reminisce with a 'Sounds of Honda' featuring some fearsome howls of the classic machines that have resonated through the years.

These were the 125 twins. The game changed radically within a couple of years when Suzuki had a 125 square 4 2-stroke, Yamaha had a V4 125 2-stroke, and Honda a 5-cylinder 125 4-stroke. Some of the most radical machinery ever to line up for a GP start. Witnessing these exotics in person must have been unforgettable.
I was lucky enough to see Mike Hailwood ride his 6 cyl 250 Honda at Brands Hatch when he lapped everybody in the race. Must have been the 1960s but I cannot be more specific.
I was lucky enough, in the sixties, to see Redman, Hailwood, Agostini, Phil Read, Bill Ivy, Derek Minter, and loads of the vintage riders ... it is a shame how the British Motor cycle industry faded away, but the riding of these stars was impeccable
I saw, them all at Brandsa Hatch. Read and Agostini many times.
@@tooyoungtobeold8756 Yeah, I used to like The "Hutch" at brands when they rode reverse course
Same here. I saw my first race at the Ulster Grand Prix. Ago and Hailwood in the 500cc and Hailwood, Ivy and Read in the 250. Mike was on the 250 6 cylinder. Great days

In Bert Hopwoods book 'Whatever happened to the British Motorcycle Industry ', he mentions Geoff Duke testing a BSA 250 prototype (m1)? at Caldwell Park,and equalling the track record on it. So impressed with the bike,he asked BSA if he could race it at that years tt? They refused,and later cancelled the project! That sums up the mentality at the time,and the rest is history as they say😣
このような貴重な映像をご提供いただき、ありがとうございます。明日は３年ぶりの日本グランプリです。金、土と予選は台風での悪天候でしたが、明日の決勝は好天が予想されています。楽しみな一日となりそうです。
God bless you Mike...missed so much.
THE SOUND. This is Pure Gold.
When you have a company run by a person in loved with every aspect from the beginning, and is a determined competitor, Mr. Honda set a standard for all others to follow !
Cheers
Mr. Honda copied everyone's work (motorcycles) and didn't care about copyright
s and patents whatsoever. Nowadays every time someone makes something at least similar to what Honda does, there's a huge lawsuit.
@@philipcooper8297 copied?
@@stacyperalta555 Yes, the clever copiers, they used to call the Japanese manufacturers.
@@philipcooper8297 So Mr. Honda copied his Honda RC 166 from whom? from your grandmother?
Japanese started out copying.
Now everyone else (quietly) copies the Japanese.
90mph on basically a moped is insane!
and it's only the average speed.
Franchement explosif🧨💥un autre monde...
How can anyone thumbs down this?? Thank you for uploading.
Forgive them for they know nothing👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks to the Chanel.. Saw something worth
Amazing Taberi has change tires.Then I visited to Isle of man at 1986, I bought bike 250CC kawasaki scorpin run to TT couse average speed has 45 minuts, very denjaulas corse supprised so far.
Fantastic, thanks for posting this!
R.I.P Luigi Taveri
大変貴重な映像です。日本人が魂でもの造りしていた時代。今は悲しいかな崩壊してしまった。
Simply brilliant ,hair standing on end
this TT could have been the beginning of the end for the British bike industry.. HONDA HONDA HONDA ... 1. 2. 3.
Their 125cc Benly machines made their first appearance in the midwest at Dodge City, Ks on an old airport course, 1959 IIRC. They sounded very much the same as the factory racers and a local rider on one of them won the 125cc class there. Certainly got everyone's attention. I went to work for the Wichita Honda dealer a couple years later and quickly learned how well they were built and with good materials.
Incredible archive !
thank you very much !! another masterpiece
Why do i love this generation of racing more than todays racing ??????
Probably because its more raw and heavily relied on the drivers actual skills to control/steer the vehicles of the time. Theres a charm to these types of races
@luisj908 true ! The retro styling and helmets are ace ! The engineering! All great ..wish I could go visit
Jim Redman has retired to Eastbourne and is a patient at the GP surgery my wife works at.they all say he is a real gentleman
Gentleman Jim ! Known him for years
To Me, A Kid, Then..Still Feels-Seems-Only Yesterday! IOM TT's! Mike "The Bike" Hailwood, Like Redman, Taberi (RIP) = MAGIC!
it's Taveri NOT Taberi
素晴らしい。美しい映像。ありがとう
Present for this Race.
That sound, WOW
Honda changed the whole bike world and then came the Honda 750.
All the Japanese bike companies did. Honda has always been a fantastic race competitor. Honda did the impossible in winning the Indianapolis 500 on their second time there. Maybe 1985.
No one qualifies fast enough to make the field the first year there, and neither did Honda. The pace car that year didn't get below the white line quickly, as the driver was supposed to- I call corruption in USAC. So the leading driver, in a Honda, was forced to pass the corrupt pace car, otherwise the behind cars would gain the momentum and pass the Honda on the back straight. So the driver did what forced to do. And criminal USAC took the "official" win away from Honda- all planned I say, when Honda took the lead. But the Entire World saw USAC's dirt, and saw Honda win the Indianapolis 500 on their first time qualifying!
And now you know another reason so many teams dropped USAC and formed CART, tho everyone knew there wasn't fan base for two sanctioning bodies, and USAC had the Ace of Indi.
Surprised not to see a BSA C15 up there on the leader board ;o)
敗戦後１５年たち、あたたかく受け入れてくれたジョンブル魂に感謝します。
I am grateful to you Japanese for being such good competitors
It's weird to hear only 4t sounds during a classical TT video.
Pretty cool post thanks... just thinking of the tires they performed on..scary
Hi Kevin. l was around at the time, although tires were very skinny by todays standards they matched the available power of the bikes very well, so much so that riders like Hailwood and Minter could lean over 50 degrees from vertical according to Dunlop. The main drawback was that there was only one treaded pattern available for all conditions. l saw Mike H racing the six at Mallory, along with Ago, Read and lvy on their works bikes. Amazing.
Less tire traction equals less corner speed. More equals more. Both are taken to the very limit. Less is safer. But in a race, a lot of safety is left behind.
Hailwood was the man
Team Honda.
Mike The Bike!!!!!!!
Oh yes Mike haillwood went beyond her majesty the Queen
父親 自転車屋からモータリゼーションの夢の波に乗り、2輪からF1まで夢見た男、オヤジ 本田 宗一郎さん、ありがとう。
I thought the guy on the MZ was going to push his bike all the way round the course.
헐 good
Translation: Watch out for the two roundabouts here, and here.
But cos we also drive on the left in Japan, you lads should know what to do.
I don't think the side of the road you drive on has much importance when the roads are being used as a race course.
Hmm.. Good point....
スピード感は年代考えるとね。
自分81年式のCB750乗ってから10数年後ドカの998乗った時は
なんなんだこれ！と思ったもんね。
フレーム然りブレーキ然り。エンジンはもう(笑)
That should have been a very loud wake up call to the British Bike Industry.......but No they didn't listen.....look and learn!!!!.......Mike the Bike.....what a top bloke......took away from us by a fecking IDIOT......he would have loved how the TT and the bikes have come on now
Makes me wonder. Where they that much faster as others or where the so loud no one dared getting close enough to pass. 😋😉
Honda was light years ahead... Japanese bikes almost killed everything on the market.
@@MrLeoBLtotal myth. They copied and improved, but light years! That's just propaganda.
Oui
国さん若ぇ〜。
It is a country that made zero fights
RIP Tom Phillis who perished at Laurel Bank in the Junior race in 1962. Honda gave him a rubbish bike to race and he wore the consequences.
As the first Japanese guy spoke he sounded like a down shifting race bike of old.
a two stroke one at that.,,,lol
綺麗な映像だな(･ิω･ิ)
しっかし、今のバイクに比べたら凄く遅いなって感じたけど、今のレースが頭おかしい位に早いからな。
ライディングテクニックの進化もあるが、タイヤ性能のアップが凄いんじゃないかな? 知らんけど。
いや、実際そうですよね。
見てる分には過去の映像でも十分に楽しめるから、今のが速くなりすぎって思う。
事故すると一発で死ぬし
Les croqueuse de MV et surtout Benelli ou Guzzy, aprilia, toute manger crue, elles sont arrivées comme des frelons asiatique, cb. R, une machine pensé à l'origine par agustini et YAMAHA,regarder bien quand Roberts roule le moteur n'est pas nipon 🤩🤩💕💕😉🇫🇷
On freaking bicycle tire
QUESTA È UNA VERA GARA DI MOTOCICLISMO IL TURIST TROPI SULL' ISOLA DI MAN NON QUEI GIRI SU CIRCUITI DOZZINALI DOVE SEMBRANO TUTTI POLLI IN BATTERIA
great videos.. the internet actually had a purpose after all. 99.9% of the internet is garbage.. this isnt !
Arguably the truth...
Shortest 4 minutes ever!!!
:35 má ơi vậy cũng được bó tay luôn
And now honda repeat it in ARRC 250cc with honda cbr250rr
It's our own fault . The British and the US motorcycle companies didn't want to make their bikes better and thank GOD Japan stepped up to the plate and filled the gap . Only if the USA and the same for the Brits . Even it was the same with the auto industry . We just didn't want to do better . As time gone by we still have not learned one dam thing . If you dont believe me just name one motorcycle company that makes bikes from the brain to final product . NOT ONE . We are lazy turds with a corrupted government and business men ( CEO ) . Its a dam shame .
Jeff Mullinix The Japanese were great engineers, thanks to them we are able to drive good cars as well, the British cars were crap!
Norton.........Triumph..........although some of Triumph's production is under licence in India
@@bobbythompson3544 not really , Japanese Cars are hardly great
@@lordbelvoir2543 Many manufacturers have set-up plants in India, including BMW and KTM, even Harley-Davidson had one for a while.
Im not very knowlegable so go easy. But is the race commentator who i think it is?
always japanese engineer behind it
Em chào thầy
Fast bikes with shit tires. Amazing racing all around.
In Mike Duff's book (he was one of the top privateers at the time and eventually a Yamaha factory rider), the Avon tires were fantastic and the Dunlops were good once you got used to them. The bigger problem was the mechanical drum brakes which needed continual adjustment throughout the race, but still sometimes faded completely from overheating, especially on the 2-stroke bikes without engine braking, this is an area where Honda had an advantage with their 4-stroke engines.
日本人は見てないのかねえ
in confronto alle moto di ora accompagnano il morto
HEUREUSE EPOQUE OU IL NE FAISAIT PAS CHIER AVEC LES DECIBELS
Il y a une vingtaine d'année, j'ai eu une conversation avec Michelle Duff qui a l'époque ou elle était encore Michael Duff était un des meilleurs pilotes privés avant de devenir pilote d'usine pour Yamaha au milieu des années 60. Elle m'a expliqué qu'elle avait encore un acouphène dont elle avait hérité en poursuivant de proche les Honda 250 6 cylindres et 125 5 cylindres de Paul Redman et Mike Hailwood.
