Hello and thanks for watching,
This weeks video focusses on the letter B, related to Bikes. It describes the history of Honda's 6-cylinder motorbikes, starting with the RC166 race bike and transferring that know how and heritage into the CBX1000 street bike.

Content of this video:
0:00 ABCD Videos introduction
0:18 Honda RC166 250cc 6 cylinder
1:10 CBX1000 prototype
1:55 Modified CBX1000's
2:30 Special framed CBX1000's
3:33 Spondon & Moto Martin CBX1000
4:53 Purchase of my Moto Martin CBX1000

I have always been fascinated by the sound and the technical complexity of these early multi-cylinder race bikes and together with Yamaha, MV Agusta and Moto Guzzi with their 500cc V8, this was the pinnacle of engineering for me, before racing rules and electronics limited the engineering freedom. There will be several follow up videos, explaining the 6-cilinder special framed bikes, the history of my personal Moto Martin CBX1000, the full restauration of the bike and of course some video's of taking it out for a ride. Please enjoy and let me know in the comments what you think about the video or what was you favorite multi-cylinder race bike.
