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)\u2013 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 Charnol\u00e9. From the crankcases to the carburetors, from the sound to the sensation \u2013 everything is spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A world-class reconstruction<\/strong><br>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.&nbsp;The result is pure pleonasm&nbsp;!Far more than a replica \u2013 it is a technical and historical tribute to Honda\u2019s most legendary racing motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live demonstration<\/strong><br>This one-of-a-kind replica \u2013 virtually indistinguishable from the original \u2013 will be seen and heard in action at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. A rare chance to experience the mythical roar of Honda\u2019s inline-six engine, just like in the golden era of Grand Prix racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow the teaser<\/strong><br>Catch an exclusive preview on Instagram, where we share a sound snippet of this stunning machine. And stay tuned to our newsletter for the exact demo schedule and other festival highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don<\/strong><strong>\u2019<\/strong><strong>t miss this moment.<\/strong><br>The Honda RC174 rarely comes out of hiding. Spa will be one of those rare occasions \u2013 and you can be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Bikers\u2019&nbsp;Festival in Spa-Francorchamps, we are bringing a true rarity to the track: the Honda RC174&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;a replica of exceptional [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12650,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-edition-2025-en"],"acf":{"vhrs":false,"show_group":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
