The year is 1966. Eleanor Rigby is playing on the radio, the Space Race is in full swing, and a young, talented Giacomo Agostini was keen to show the world he had what it takes to be unequivocally known as the best. But there was a problem for Agostini, and it came in the form of the last great playboy-rockstar motorcycle racer, Mike Hailwood.
Back in '66, Hailwood, the five-time and reigning World Champion, with eight Isle of Man TT victories to his name, just jumped ship from MV Agusta to Honda. The Japanese manufacturer built a bike especially for Hailwood so that he could compete in the 350cc World Championship alongside his 250cc and 500cc campaigns; that bike was the Honda RC173 350cc 4, and now it can be yours.
