    Wicked sound of a Classic Honda Racer!

    You have to hear this !!!!
    What a noise !!!!
    It's from an Honda RC162 replica.

    For those who don't know, the RC162 was a 250cc four cylinder racer from the 1960's.
    There's some replicas being built these days using CBR250 engines.
    Quite inspirational and thought provoking......

    What a noise is right. Even on minimal volume, it was just a wall of sound.

    I was expecting higher revs.

    The roadside furniture and the big fucking object in the left lane at 2:34 was even more impressive.

    Well this RC162 replica certainly has no shortage of revs..
    Unsure if it's the same one as the first one.

    It sounds impressive, but its mainly distortion than is adding the evilness. Listen to the bike at the beginning, and its already horrendously distorted before he even sets off. Nonetheless, the 250RR is a fully out-of-it sounding engine at full tap. I remember seeing a pair of karts some years ago with what looked like ZXR250 engines in them - the sound of those brought tears to my eyes - like little F1 cars. They weren't competitive on the tight track, but the woo-ooooop wooooo-ooop of them was outstanding.
