Japan's angriest motorcycle. I had the good fortune to see this and a couple other bikes being wheeled out for Honda top brass at their headquarters at the IOM (50th anniversary?). I had snapped the clutch lever on my RC30 and someone suggested I go along and see if the Honda works team would lend me one. They didn't have one (were a bit sniffy about it actually) but I got to see the RC 166 being fired up. Nothing can prepare you for how loud this bike is.
