It's prolly this one...
http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/2009-motorcycles/1967.jpg
Tis either 250cc RC-165 or the 297cc RC-174. CBX 6 cylinder jobbies.

[ducatilover]

I'm going with the '61/2 RC162 250/4, it's certainly not earlier as it has the twin beam frame not the spine.
It could also be an RC170/171, I think they're identical with he exception of bore size

I believe the RC172 had a black engine/head and different cam covers?

Edit: could be a 146, I'm off to go scrub up on my RC history again.

That's a 4cyl RC146 and I'd say you're on the money with that

Yeah, I chatted to an old Irish bloke once who had been to the Isle many times as a kid in the 1960s. He said that the sound of a 250cc inline-six RC going full throttle in top was a sound that was etched into his memory forever. Make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Whereabouts do you work to have such cool shit in the foyer?

YUP!...Im with you :yes:

Its a Honda 67 RC181 500cc GP bike-"Jim Redmans" to be exact (Just look at the tank and engine casings...MUCH bigger tham the rc146 etc, and it has the exposed clutch basket...146 is much! smaller- like in posted vid)

:bleh:

[avgas]

RC146
Llama
KuniKuni Cross Boar - one that needs to eat less sloppy stuff and more hard stuff.

[Paul in NZ]

Hmmm - a NOT GHEY Honda at all.....

(lust)

[Oblivion]

Maybe tomorrow they'll wheel in an RC166. :whistle:

Agree: I dont have any of my reference books here at work but definitely a bigger later 4 cyl.

That is a picture of Hailwood by the way

but easy to work out from the number I'd have thoght

Nicely done! Defiantly time to go study up on 'em again (been reading up on Ferrari for the last few evenings instead)

[pete376403]

Right up to a couple of Saturdays ago I was all set to buy one of George Beales 6 cyl replicas, then that bugger from Te Kauwhata spoiled EVERYTHING

[Grumph]

Probably is Redman's 500 - last i heard Hailwood's one was in the UK.
Only the 500 has that much chassis bracing...and it still wasn't enough.

Stephen - you aren't making parts for the Moto3 bike are you ? A price list for parts has been posted elsewhere here.....
There'd be a good opportunity if you can open a back door supply line.

[Laava]

In the UK at all the major factories, backdoor parts supplies were a regular way for staff to supplement their income....as long as they weren't caught...
Frits posted a link to the HRC parts list on the ESE tuning thread....makes ocean racing look cheap.

I thought wow, that's an RC-146 !!

...then I saw the disc front brake and water-cooled CBR250 engine.....
Still, it would be a hoot to ride.

CR125? whats with the crazy front end, looks pointless?

[Kickaha]

That front end is fucking awesome, what's the story behind it?

[ducatilover]

Can I please come work for you Steven?

[Brian d marge]

CR125? whats with the crazy front end, looks pointless?

Earles frnt end , nyce its to do with removing fork flex , rake trail changes ..but then they found upside downies

of top of head its an RC125 mx the forks were to try and get a rising ratew front end and remove as I said flex

I not sure why it wasnt successful , a pain to set up maybe

Still ....it made me morning
