A serialized column marking the 60th anniversary of Honda's 1966 sweep of all five World GP classes covers the RC170 through RC174 350cc racers, which debuted in 1962. The bikes secured both manufacturer and rider championships six years running from 1962 to 1967, with the final RC174 reaching 66 horsepower at 17,000 rpm.

That RC174 figure — 66hp at 17,000rpm — from what I've seen trackside, that's a genuinely stunning number. Just imagining how a high-revving racer from that era behaved from corner entry to exit gives me chills. Six straight titles weren't earned by luck.

Sweeping all five classes still sounds insane even today.

Six straight titles alone tells you how dominant this was.

Didn't know the model numbers went from RC170 to RC174 in such detail.

66hp at 17,000rpm was absurd for that era.

At that rpm, I'm honestly a little worried about the durability back then.
