    Japan's angriest motorcycle.
    I had the good fortune to see this and a couple other bikes being wheeled out for Honda top brass at their headquarters at the IOM (50th anniversary?). I had snapped the clutch lever on my RC30 and someone suggested I go along and see if the Honda works team would lend me one.
    They didn't have one (were a bit sniffy about it actually) but I got to see the RC 166 being fired up.

      うわー! RX3とRX7は素晴らしいサウンドだったに違いありません! 多分これらのように? ruclips.net/video/7IwRJA5WI_k/видео.html&ab_channel=THEcaptainsparkle

      RX-3はマレーシアの頃だったので爆音でしたが。。。
      まだ叔父が他界した30バンクあったFISCOのレースですが、これと同じぐらい車内で会話ムリな爆音でした。

      南青山表参道でそんな爆音RX-7は当時ムリでした。
      とは言え僕のハーレーはそれなりに響きますが🤪
