Came across some really interesting photos of this famous old-school Honda bike. 250cc 6 cyl.

Here is a photo of the motor disassmebled (click to enlarge):



Here is the whole bike (click to enlarge):




Pretty sick machine, kicked some *** in the 60s I guess.

If you can believe it it made about 60hp and rev'd to 18,000 RPM, out of 250cc's which is pretty impressive.

 

i like it.

 

You guys realize that honda rereleased this bike... all NEW manufacture in 2004? You can still find some at the dealers, entry price is around $5000
