unlike their Japanese competitors on four stroke technology. The Honda four
stroke GP racers of the 1960s are seen as the most complex engineered racers of
the 20th century. The Honda
racing team dominated four stroke Grand Prix racing in the 1960s with
their 50cc 2-cilinder, 125cc
5-cilinder, 250cc and 350cc 6-cilinders and offcourse the
amazing fours that graced every class from 125cc to 500cc throughout the
sixties.
