Honda is the most genius company in history. The genius of Soichiro Honda and his racing spirit are unparalleled and it reflects in everything they ever made. They made the most advanced motorcycles of all time, dominate MotoGP with the record number of titles, Isle of Man TT, first car they ever made revved to 9500 rpm and beat cars with twice the amount of power. They went on dominating every single motorsports to dominating Ferrari in Formula 1 as well as at their own supercar game with the NSX. I don't care what gtr fanboys and Ferrari fanboys say. They always got owned by Honda anyway. Lol. SMART people know that Honda is the most legendary name in history of automobile and motorsports. No other brand even comes close to their genius and the art they create. (Maybe alfa romeo and ferrari had the passion but they never had the engineering genius and technical knowledge of Honda)
I would agree up until 85'. Exception being honda hating 2 strokes and couldn't win in the 90s so they helped with the ban of them from competition. If honda can't profit or gain, no one can. This is why they pushed for 4 strokes in GP and supercross, why they tried to cheat displacement rules with oval pistons, why they held patents on even dated technology as to keep the competition from growing and their lack of R&D in 2 strokes caught up to them in the mid 90s. When they couldn't win anymore, they changed the rules.
@@Astrothunderkat you know the NSR500, right ? The Honda NSR500 is a road racing motorcycle created by HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) and debuted in 1984 for the Grand Prix motorcycle racing's 500 cc class. Honda won ten 500cc World Championships with the NSR500 from 1984 to 2002, with six in a row from 1994 to 1999. With more than 100 wins to its credit, the NSR500 is the most dominant force in modern Grand Prix motorcycle racing. The 1989 NSR500 that won Honda's third 500 World Championship with Eddie Lawson exemplifies the overwhelming power, acceleration and raw speed that has always been synonymous with Honda's 500 cc two-stroke V4. Riders World Championships won with the NSR500: 1985: Freddie Spencer 1987: Wayne Gardner 1989: Eddie Lawson 1994: Mick Doohan 1995: Mick Doohan 1996: Mick Doohan 1997: Mick Doohan 1998: Mick Doohan 1999: Àlex Crivillé 2001: Valentino Rossi
reminds me of when i was a kid before i was old enough to own a bike, i used to hear the big bikes racing on the road across the fields from where i lived, i used to lay in bed and listen to them late at night, i could hear them for quite a distance,
I remember during a WSB round at Brands Hatch there was a couple of demo laps by a Honda 250cc 6 cylinder bike. I will never for get that sound. We were at Clearways and you could hear that thing all the way round the circuit. Absolutely amazing.
@@johnny300166 No it doesn’t. A friend has solar panels and battery storage and charges his EV with that. Even charging off the grid is better than gas pollution wise. Many Tesla recharging stations use solar. Ev’s are also cheaper to maintain, less maintenance and parts. It is the future like it or not. There is only so much oil in the ground. Cheers!
I’ve never had a four stroke Pokémon in my life they’ve always been two-stroke bites but this this is just beggars belief the sound I don’t think I’ve there’s nothing. Maybe a Formula One car from the old days but no definitely not. It’s so unbelievably pure
It's a screamer for shure , only to be compared to a canadian V4 250 2 stroke, not shur of make, yami maybe, anyway, on the dyno this thing did 47hp@ 16000 and emptied the building with the pipes sound
Mojo that is true. Sure it is for the Italians but Phil Read on his V4 250cc was able to beat Mike on the Honda 6 in 1967. Although they ended the 67 season with 50 points each - Mike had more wins so was awarded the championship. Those were amazing days and I remember at the Ulster in 1967 hearing the Honda 2 miles out before it arrived. I have to say all RC Hondas (and the CRs) of that time seemed to share the same sound characteristics.
Fantastisch!!!! WONDERFUL and absolutely incredible engine. The research from University of Tokyo is incredible reading. They understood harmonic gas flow which is why it sounds incredible.
Better yet, the extreme power and volatility of the 2 stroke engine came from a WW2 teenager scientist, Walter Kaaden. Read the book 'Stealing speed' by Mat Oxley.
I like that view from what used to be a post office and shop on the bottom left side of Bray hill and at one point allowed us onto the flat roof to enjoy superb viewing!
If I had no other knowledge about the bike or the situation, and had to judge on sound alone, I'd say he's running about seven hundred miles an hour here.
@@ericscaillet6087 Thanks! I've been fortunate enough to have owned and thoroughly used, some fine machines in my days, but there are just so, so many awesome things in the world to drive and ride, and life is too damn short! Damn my mortality!
