    What a romantic eara of motorcycling, the new age had just began. If my memory serves me it was Tadaguchi who rode the RC160, please correct me if i am wrong!!

    This No 163 was rode from Sadao Shimazaki. This information was from Honda Motegi museum, but probably you are right, because Honda brought 5 of this RC 160 racers to competition, at first 1959 to the All-Japan Motorcycle Endurance race at Mt Asama.

    See the attached pics and kind regards
