THIS THING BLEW MINDS WORSE THAN BAD ACID BACK IN THE SIXTIES, AND IT STILL DOES, THE LITTLE WING THAT COULD. SIX POTS, SIX TINY SLUGS HANGING OFF SIX TWIGGY LITTLE RODS, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS ENGINEERING DESIGN IN MICRO SCALE . . . . ALL THE MORE INSANE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT IT DID IT'S JOB SO CONVINCINGLY THAT HONDA WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH IT . . . . GO AND READ SOME MORE ABOUT THIS MARVEL OF INFERNALLY COMBUSTING DOOHICKIES AND SEE WHAT THE ONGOING FUSS IS ABOUT . . . . RIGHT AFTER YOU'VE CHECKED OUT THE VIDEO AND LISTENED TO THIS RADICAL RICE ROCKET SCREAMING ITS TINY LUNGS OUT !!!!
REAL COOL SHIT - REAL BIKES, REAL CARS, REAL TUNES . . . . AND A LI'L BIT OF REAL VITRIOLIC RANTING . . . . AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER COOL STUFF THAT GIVES ME THE HORN . . . . unless otherwise stated, all words, blurbs and drivel herein are entirely mine. I hope you dig it.

Woooop!!! Wooooop!!!! Whooooooop!!! About a dozen years ago a guy here in the states built a 'RC 166 replica', using a CBX 1000. Six open racing megas. I'll have to see if I can find a vid of that one .It was at a show up in Squaw Valley, and he fired it up and zipped it across the parking lot....insanely loud!
