Honda 250 6 Cylinder Motorcycle RC166

I read a magazine article about that engine, there was a guy who made copies of famous bikes. The RC bikes had extraordinarily complex engines. There were something like 35 pieces to the crankshaft, and each con-rod big end was a different size (on each side) That coupled with alloys and manufacturing methods that people today don't know how it was done.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.

couldn't be too hard to figure out how it's done....Honda has the info.

The 125cc 5 cylinder and 250cc Six Cylinder full race, DOHC motors are really something!  Both Championship engines.

A post from another forum.

I think this fits in the inspiration to work on your own bike category.  Btw, the bike is a V4.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
