1984 Honda RC162 Replica Racing Motorcycle Registration no. to be advised Frame no. JC065009333 Engine no. J701-111289 Genuine examples of Honda's fabulous Grand Prix-winning multi-cylinder racers of the 1960s have always been out of the financial reach of all but the most wealthy collectors and museums. Generally considered far too precious to parade, let alone race, they are seldom seen in action. The result of this situation has been the growth in recent years of a 'cottage industry' of replica builders, many of whom use modern four-cylinder engines sourced from Japanese sports bikes. This machine's engine is that of a 1983 Suzuki GS250FW, which was no doubt chosen for its four cylinders and twin-overhead-camshaft architecture, plus the convenience of an electric starter. The frame is that of a 1984 Honda CB125. Built for parading, the machine is offered with old/current V5/V5C documents. Fußnoten As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
