Absolutely it’s a symphony of sound, music to your ears 👍 What an incredible company Honda are. Designed and built in the 1960’s. Revving to 18000 rpm, wouldn’t really run below 10000 rpm. No flywheel, so if you shut off on the throttle it would stop running. You must have been an instrument maker to build it. Formula 1 companies of today are in awe at the engineering of 60 years ago.
I got to push Jim Redmond out to the start line one yr at Laguna .. super guy , and a super sounding ride .. . think the best sound though was the sound of my old TZ 750 Yamaha at the end of the straight at Ontario at about 185+ .. love that sound.....
I got to watch and hear six Honda 250cc 6 cylinders (four cycle), and four Yamaha 250cc 4 cylinders (two cycle) at the 1967 Monza GP. Talk about mechanical music. All the 4 cycle engines used megaphones back then, and there is no tin can muffler that they stick on the 4 cycles of today that even comes close to the megaphone music.
hiya from the uk i was 11 years of age in 67 the last time the fourstrokes won for years i was on bray hill on the I O M mike the bike hailwood and ago flat out down bray hill hell i was deaf for two days lolol cya
@hux648 Kenny Roberts 3 World 500 cc Championships hardly constitutes a "one hit blunder". Anyone who could ride a TZ 750 Yamaha on a flat track has the greatest skills and talent. Roberts is one of only four riders in AMA racing history to win the AMA Grand Slam, representing national wins at a mile, half-mile, short track, TT and road race.He was also a very good team manager for 20 years & won 4 titles with Rainey, Lawson & Kocinski.
I love this video it reminds me of when Honda was making new and groundbreaking machines instead of the same boring crap they are putting out now. Seriously why are they castrating their motorcycle line.
@hux648 The video was made in 1995, well before TH-cam. Kenny Roberts was very, very talented. Mike Hailwood expressed the highest respect for him. Pity you didn't show some maturity in your post. BTW, it's whinging not windging
@hux648 Should I list the world championships that Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda 2 strokes won. If I list the international and national races 2 strokes have won it would fill a book. Some of the great championship winning riders who rode 2 strokes to World titles include Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Hugh Anderson, Jarno Saarinen, Phil Read, Bill Ivy, Joey Dunlop, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola, Barry Sheen, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Valentino Rossi. Dominated for 40 years.
That's not a noise, that's not a sound, that's a music, the speed's music.

God what an amazing sound...I do remember seeing a guy riding around the paddock of Road Atlanta last year during AMA with a Honda 6cyl.
To me this was the sound on the 60's, specifically Hailwood going down through the gears at the approach to the Lake Esses!
Beautiful sound
Thanks for sharing! It's a shame there isn't any good doccumentaries out there on this bike and its history
Nice work mr honda without you sounds like this would not exist and to jammy jim remember redhouse in s a
