Incredible multi cylinder race bikes of the 50-60's (Google the RC166), groundbreaking CB750, NR750 (oval piston) , 6 cylinder CBX, V-tech valve system ....I believe they are currently working on a self balancing system https://www.cycleworld.com/honda-sel...ist-technology
I've often wondered what stayed under lock and key in their R&D department....you know there was more. |
Honda won the last two Indy 500s. It's hard to believe they could compete with the venerable Offenhauser and Ford 4 cam V-8s. They are still goofy.
