Default 2 sweet old bikes. Old Triumph and Honda RC174

When I went to England over the summer I saw two old sweet bikes.. I just got around to posting pics up

One is a Triumph Daytona 500 in amazing condition, and the other is a 1967 Honda RC174 Race Bike.

Enjoy





*edit another one

I added another pic of the honda.
The board says; "1967 Honda RC174 Replica: Winner of 7 out of 8 races in the 1967 World Championship Series the RV174, equipped witha 297cc, air cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 6 cylinder engine, took the Manufacturers and Riders Championships in the 350cc class with team riders...." cant read the rest

sounds like a bad *** bike

there's an article from a magazine somewhere about that rc174. The engine blows my mind. Someone spent a very long time reverse engineering one in order to make a copy. Even after getting it all assembled they couldn't get it tuned the same.
An inline 6 that can rev to nearly 20 grand and has no flywheel effect...crazy.
The article also said that you could deform the crank with your hand, but that it's strong enough to spin almost 20k rpms.
