Built by an Aussie guy by the name of Lucky Keizer. The V twin engine came from two cylinders sliced off one of the Merlins on a crashed Mosquito. First time I've seen it with that cowling though, which looks pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 OMG! Honda RC174, a 300 cc 6 cylinder bike with about 64 HP back around 1966/67. Mike Hailwood won with it. This guy did some genuine repros. Honda bought one. £200,000. You have to read the details to get an idea of just how outrageous this bike was. There were only 2 originals made. Insane sound ... as you can imagine from a 6-pack of 50cc bikes. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/cars/article/mike-hailwoods-honda-rc174-replica-reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we made square section out of round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested by holding up to the light. Ask me how I know? Actually my piece was 1" square by about 1 1/2 long. But may have been metric.
