Honda inline 6 race bike

[TitanRev]

My Vancouver customer was a bike enthusiast so he showed me the Honda 1967 RC bikes which was used in racing. I was really shock because I've never heard of bike with 6 cylinder before. The sound was really music to the ears...It really show Honda's advanced technology at that time(1967). The last Honda bike to feature a L6 engine was the CBX100 in 1978.

The inline 6 bike was so hard to start that it need to start by push starting it and the rider need to keep revving the throttle to keep the engine running.

It's like the Ferrari in the bike world.

It's a really awesome bike. Luckily Hans (Canadian customer) was glad to copy me the sound&vid of the bike to me. Imagine 1967....Honda was able to do this already....
Hans, told me that the bike cost so much and it's really limited to own. If I'm not wrong there were only a few of these monster bike in the world and only 1 or 2 owned by private collector while the others were owned by Honda.

I really love the starting part. It's like an F1 car start up style..
