Story from 1968, I ran a bus trip up to Mallory Park for the Post TT race and as I jumped off the bus in the car park, practice was taking place. Now most of guys on the trip had never been to a motorcycle race before, but as some of them were getting off the bus, Mike Hailwood was accelerating out the hairpin on the Honda 6 and in unison about half a dozen guys collectively exclaimed a lengthy “FUUUU**IN’ ‘ELL”. It was a magic moment that still gives me a buzz today.🤗✌️

Zero flywheel weight+zero low-end torque+close-ratio gearbox= a damn hard bike to get a good start on, so props to Jim Redman and Mike Hailwood who push-started these machines and won on them. Not really much different than trying to get a 2-stroke going, fortunately...

Made much harder on that particular start by the fact that this particular bike had no first gear (it had broken at the Jurby test a day or so before and there had been frantic work by the mechanic to rebuld the enigne without it fitted, so Steve Plater was startiing off in second gear. If he had made it to Ramsey hairpin he would not have been able to slip the cluch enough to get it round...

On that occasion it was a ‘hell of a clutch slip’ because the bike had lost first gear… even if it hadn’t dropped a valve (probably because of the gross over revving - 19,000 when stone cold at Jurby a day or so previously), it was never going to make it past Ramsey hairpin.

remember Mike Hailwood on one of these at Oulton Park. He was coming out of Dear Leap sat up behind Peter Inchley(flat on the tank) on a Villiers. After a few laps Mike overtook him and promptly fell off. Was gutted but then Mike remounted and set off after Inchley again; it was a still day and you could hear that bike wail as Mike gave it some proper stick. It only took a few(glorious sounding) laps for him to catch Peter and this time he didn't fall off. Mike had actually done something similar at one of the small meetings they had in either Spain(Monjuich or Jerez maybe) or Italy just before the Oulton meeting. If only bikes were allowed to sound like this again...

Great story! Mike fell of on many of occasions able to kick the bars straight, tear off any loose parts and continue the race and even win. Heck, he removed a carburator slide entirely so one pot was flat out 100% of the time on his MV 4 in 65' at the senior TT after a high speed wet crash....and won.

Actually they have a surprisingly linear power/torque delivery, pulling cleanly and strongly from about 6,000 to 17,000 in the case of the RC174. This RC165 would pull from about 6000 to 18,000 where peak power is delivered (17,000 for the RC174 which is longer stroke).

I might be accused of splitting hairs, but the only time Mike Hailwood rode an RC165 was at Suzuka/Japan in 1965 (he won - 1 and a half minutes ahead of second place finisher Isamu Kasuya on another RC165). All the sixes Mike Hailwood rode after that time were RC166 or 174's.

@peterg2yt
@peterg2yt 2 жыл бұрын
Alan Millyards honda 'tribute' is an amazing piece of work made by grafting two liquid cooled road bike enignes together. An astonishing achievement, BUT it nowhere near as loud as the real thing... AND it has an idle on the engine and an electric starter. If you let the revs drop on the original Honda 6's (RC165, 166 or 174) below 4000 the engine stops dead as if the ignition has been cut.
