The 1966 Honda RC166, one of Mike Hailwood's race bikes. The comentary is unfortunately in Japanese but the only thing worth hearing is the sound of this engine anyway. The reaction of the audience is pretty hilarious too.

thats awesome, I wonder how much horse power it has. very impressive for 1966

 

60ps is pferdestarke...german unit for horsepower...1ps = like .986hp so roughly 60hp

nice link

 

Ok, that is a four stroke right?

 

Is that what my friends dad calls a Cafe Racer? He calls my bike one all the time

 

gotta be a four stroke looks like it has overhead cams

 

sounds like a 2 stroke to me

 

I think you're both right that is why I asked. I also saw some other vids on youtube and it appeared to be smoking a bit, so I thought two stroke but on the other hand two strokes usually don't turn that high of RPMs. And the pipes didn't look like expansion chambers.

 

I think it's a four stroke according to this link:

Here's a picture of how tiny the pistons are on this thing.
