Bikers'Festival The mythical Honda RC174 – brought back to life, and on display at the Bikers’ FestivalA two-wheeled masterpiece is coming to Spa-Francorchamps

At the Bikers’ Festival in Spa-Francorchamps, we are bringing a true rarity to the track: the Honda RC174 – a replica of exceptional quality, built with unmatched precision.

The legend, reborn
The original RC174 from 1967 was Honda’s answer to European dominance in 350cc Grand Prix racing. Equipped with a 297cc six-cylinder engine with an unmistakable roar at 17,500 rpm, it allowed Mike Hailwood to clinch the world championship that very same year. Today, finding an authentic RC174 is nearly impossible (only 2 machines at the Motegi Museum in Japan)– but mechanical genius Guy Coulon, former MotoGP engineer and Yamaha Tech3 technical chief, has rebuilt this bike in extraordinary detail together with engine engineer Julien Charnolé. From the crankcases to the carburetors, from the sound to the sensation – everything is spot on.

A world-class reconstruction
Building this replica took years of painstaking work. Guy Coulon dug through archives, traveled to Japan to retrieve original drawings and specifications, and rebuilt each part by hand. Julien redesigned every part, established the production processes, and supervised each subcontractor. The result is pure pleonasm !Far more than a replica – it is a technical and historical tribute to Honda’s most legendary racing motorcycle.

Live demonstration
This one-of-a-kind replica – virtually indistinguishable from the original – will be seen and heard in action at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. A rare chance to experience the mythical roar of Honda’s inline-six engine, just like in the golden era of Grand Prix racing.
