That Honda interview I did back in August is finally up on Vtec.net Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://vtec.net/articles/view-article?article_id=422867">http://vtec.net/articles/view-article?article_id=422867</a><!-- m -->

As a bonus, here's a video of a RC166 getting started up and revved a little bit at the Laguna Seca Moto GP race. The RC166 is a DOHC 250cc 4-stroke inline-6, that was campaigned by Honda in the GP 250 class in the early 60's. It revved to about 16000 rpm and made somewhere around 100 hp.

I was there for a few of the startups and this thing was LOUD. Luckily we got free Honda earplugs Smile

Sorry guys, I inadvertently caused the interview to disappear from public view because I made an edit.

Should be back up soon.

In the meantime, I'll post up a scan of an article in Performance Bikes (UK) about the HRC CBR1000RR's campaigned in British Superbike.

I enjoyed the preview you posted awhile back, and reading the rest was a treat! Thanks for asking *real* questions, not just the fluff crap we see in so many of the glossy mags...
