    Been a few of them made. Cheap way to have something special that is a lot easier to ride and maintain.

    I think the 4 cylinder version was the RC161

    39USD + shipping for a model of an RC166...what a rip off. I bought mine for 48AUD!

    I remember when I was of the age of having your room covered in posters , I had one of Mike the Bike riding that thing (RC166) .... that would be a nice collectors item in itself.

    This is great when its 'idling' with it being filmed from behind ....Id just like that team of Japanese mechanics at my call ....!

    Must be over a million bucks for one of these. Something about a 4-stroke, 250cc six cylinder bike that makes you really respect those Honda engineers. I read somewhere that Honda used all of that know how when they built the CBX1000. I heard one with a 6-into-1 pipe and it sounded like an F1 engine screaming its tits off. Unreal!

    Can you imagine trying to tune six carbs?

    What a work of art that is. The original twin shock Z. Sympathetic resto too. $15-20K right there. The Prolink C was the pick of this lot, but everyone wants the original Z. Skinny forks and big front wheel...scary.
