Honda RC174 Six

bluegreen · Oct 4, 2013

Mind blowing....

The article is guy who makes bikes from scratch and what went into making an RC174.

The more you delve

into the Honda Six's inner secrets, the more you marvel at the skill and

confidence of the men who first built it, almost four decades ago.

"Compared to this," Beale sighs, "the Benelli was built by a

blacksmith."

The benefit is tiny,

the resulting difficulties immense, yet at every turn Honda went to

such obsessive lengths seemingly regardless of cost.

Good read. Wonder what the project cost all up?

Thanks for sharing.

Great story, the cost of the project must have been immense.

The Honda Six's are some of the greatest racing machines ever built. Forget two strokes, an inline 6 is where it is at.

This never gets old.

I wish the total cost was published, must have been staggering. The carbs were $35K alone?

The cost could rival that of a current RCV
