Even Beethoven would need hearing protection when an RC166 is fired up.

The video where they fire one up in a TV studio is unreal.... those that had never heard one almost jumped out their skin !

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.

fantastic, brought back memories. Nothing to prove they already done that its nice to just see them running and enjoying the sounds & smells

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 a symphony in my ears.

Always remember Mike the bike accelerating out of Ballacraine ,goose bumbs, the six was amazing.
