There is a good article in this month's Motorcyclist magazine on the original Honda 6 cylinders that Mike Hailwood rode to victory in his 10/10 season.  I love the discussion of Honda shipping the bike to Europe for its first race at Monza with only 4 exhaust pipes in place to hide what it really was and this quote, "
No one paid attention to the new bike until Jim Redman fired it up for the first practice. As soon as everyone heard the ear-splitting six-cylinder shriek, they knew it was something special!"
