You gotta take your hat off to Honda, so many pieces of brilliant engineering
How i lusted after those little works Hondas in the sixties iexpect it was age at the time but nothing ever moved me as those years with the 50s to the six cylinder all were so small in build so unlike the later creations .
What these fellows learned and knew, was the reason that my 1973 Z50 NEVER failed. We bought it new, and I don't think I ever shut it off for two years! Little bike was awesome!
I still have my first-year Z50, the one with no rear suspension. It still looks great and runs just as well as when I got it brand new. I rode the wee out of that little bike! Of course one of the requirements for me was to maintain it properly or else I wouldn't get to ride it anymore. Rain, shine, snow, I was out on our property tearing around on that thing. A few of my friends had those Sears and Montgomery Ward mini-bikes and we'd have so much fun! My dad made us a track on the back 2 acres. But those guys always wanted to ride my Mini Trail...
@@johnstockman2026 Awesome! Me too on the all weather. I have a cousin who rides, and grew up next door to me. Seven years older, like a big brother, and he would help me make a track out back when it snowed too deep for me to do it by myself. He'd go around on his DT 125 Yamaha, and make a groove for me! Good times, lots of stories, best small bike in the world for little guys at the time! My first was a brand new Sears and Roebuck minibike. I was 5 in '71. My father insisted I get a "more serious" bike, hence the Z50 at seven! Been a steady stream of bikes since. Peace!
Honda should make the Honda Cub with this engine =)))))
Yes ! then I'll purchase it !!
You’d need a full machine shop to keep it running, though.
So technically this is road legal in all Australian states and you don't need a license or registration since it is under 50cc 😮
Bore: about the size of a cereal spoon. Stroke: right at 1 inch. There are four stroke model airplane engines about this size, have operated and worked on them some. Tiniest tools needed, tweezers a must.
I would like one of these engines for my bicycle also.
Ce qui est amusant c'est que le frein avant était à patins sur la jante comme sur un vélo !! ... A 175 km/h fallait être optimiste :-)
good
OMG this moment 2:00
I am curious about the rear brake, the large disks attached to the drum brake must be for heat dissipation, but I don't remember Honda using that on other racers of that era.
It's interesting and that's definitely a possibility. The front was basically a cantilever bicycle brake, so the bike probably relied heavily on the rear aswell as engine braking. Although the RC113 and RC115 used the discs on the front too, despite having the same cantilever setup. So perhaps it was more to do with aerodynamics on these little machines.
I Want this guy, small guy but fast
Usable revband : 18.000-21500😀
The only way to entering an open fight with 2 stroke, understandable strategy 😄
how many gears!?
Boite de vitesse à 9 rapports
I guess that front brake was reasonably effective?
Yes
Besides, this RC116 weight roughly only under 50kg
Realy no different than a disk brake in function. Won races didn't it.
On a faster/heavier bike it would cause too much heat. Melt the rim and cause tire failure.
2 stroke killer at IOM tt
50kg
