That sound takes me back to the late 1960's at Brands Hatch seeing Mike 'the bike' Hailwood on the 297-6 blowing away Agostini on his larger MV Agusta 500-3. Halcyon days....!
Sir could u , give me any information , about engine materials honda rc 166 or 174 , whst materials that used to make , piston , liner , con rod , valve , housing , gear , crankshaft , camshaft , piston ring , etc , ur informatin will great knowledfe for me , n si i say thanks alot👍👍👍
Honda 6 replica by George Beale cost £295000 at the time.Honda museum bought 2 so they must have been good. Apparently George Beale added 1 extra ring on each piston..
Yes they don't smoke like the original apparently, but I like smoke personally. George Beale is not only a great supporter of racing throughout history but I think he is a genius for taking this project on.
You are absolutely right. They do have an oil control ring added, so they don’t smoke, but still make 66BHP on dyno, which was the figure claimed by Honda.
Neil Tuxworth lent them Mike Hailwoods original bike for the replicas; he has both the original and the replica side by side and you'd need to be in the know to spot which one is which.
@@2wheels2strokes4ever Is it possible that without the oil ring it produced slightly more power through less piston drag and also by burning oil in the combustion chamber may have produced extra power ? As Merc allegedly did in F1.

Great replica and all, but Beale made 1 fatal mistake on this bike that will get a lot of riders in trouble. If you look closely, the shifter is on the right side, and the brake pedal is on the left *(unlike the original 1966 RC166).* Not only that, the shifter is reversed on the shaft, also reversing the shift pattern to 1 up and the rest down, to go *UP* through the gears.🙄
Beale got it right! Original bikes were right hand shift with 1 up- rest down pattern, as were all race bikes in that era. Mike Hailwood never rode a left-hand shift bike until after his racing car accident left his right foot too damaged to shift.
@@alzinn8231 Interesting... I don't know if you've seen the exhibition videos at Twin Ring Motegi where they take the old racers out and run them once every year or so, but the RC-166 they're running there definitely has the shifter on the left side. You can see the brake pedal on the right when the photographer catches him coming out of the last turn into the straight... and he's shifting with his left foot down the straightaway. th-cam.com/video/o57JwibqCb8/w-d-xo.html
@@danw1955 The bikes could be easliy configured for either side. The Japanese riders were used to left hand shift and that is the way the bikes was originally set up. Hailwood and other British riders were all right handers, since that is the way British bikes always were - i.e. primary drive on left, gear shift on right. When Hailwood was famously retained by Honda to ride the RC166/174 he demanded two adjustments: 1. replace the awful rear shocks (legend has it that he asked the Japanese ones to be removed for examination, whereupon he promptly tossed them into the pond!) and 2. move the gear shift over to the right side. George Beale was asked to build a replica of the RC174 that Hailwood rode. Therefore, he put the gearshift on the right - like Mike.
"fatal mistake"... 🤣🤣what a huge and ill informed over-statement! The Beale replicas are exact re-creations of the original. Just like the originals the gear change and brake can be configured left or right to suit rider preference. The comment about the Honda museum bikes having their gear change on the left is correct, they have opted for this because their main display rider (Miyagi san) prefers that, but I have mine set on the right side. It was not only Honda who arranged gear change and brake for either side... early Yamaha TZ's and Suzuki like RG500 also had this option.
Allens is Yamaha based this one build from scratch to replicate the original. Allens is a great feat of engineering 2 considering the tools he works with.

As glorious as ANY racing engine, including the Mazda 787B four rotor, or the Ferrari F1 V12s from 89-95.

@@MrStr8den that is not correct. A Japanese collector lent an RC174B to George Beale. Slightly different model to the ones raced by Mike Hailwood.
This annual meeting is just wonderful for the sounds of yesteryear
I have limited money so I brought a honda mc 17 and mc22.both rev to 20,000 and sound glorious
Bike porn , if i won the lottery id buy one of those replicas just to hear it fired up ...
I like it this motorcyle. Legeand. All the best

Is this an original or one of the replicas that were built about 15 years ago?
It is one of the replicas built by George Beale.
The original were built in Japan 1965. Replicas made in France, no British Engineering company could make them, 45 years later.

I thought this was a collection of Alan Millyard bikes
:-)
Would love to see rossi ride one
If it's the 250 why has it got blue plates on
It's 297cc I believe, which in it's day would race in the 350cc class - but there was a 250cc version also.
I thought George Beale only built 6 250 sixes
@@grahamsymons1513 He has built 10 297cc bikes as shown in the video, plus several other types (Benelli, Matchless and Brough Superior).
Isle of man TT.
Honda sport racing.
is this 2 stroke engine?
This is a 4 stroke engine but is 297cc 6 cylinder so very very tiny and revs around 20,000 RPM so screams like a 2 stroke
Pistons the size of thimbles
50 pence coin actually, lol
It's one of the highest revving 4 strokes that's why it sounds like a 2 stroke
@@2wheels2strokes4ever Peak power 66 BHP at 17,000.
