Before carbon fiber. Before electronics. There was the Honda RCB. 🏁
The Honda RCB is more than just a race bike—it's an endurance racing icon. In the hands of French rider Jean-Claude Chemarin, it became one of the most dominant machines of the late 1970s, conquering Europe's greatest endurance races.
Powered by an air-cooled 941cc inline-four producing around 115 horsepower, the RCB combined raw performance, exceptional reliability, and a soundtrack that became legendary. At a time when simply finishing a 24-hour race was an achievement, Honda was redefining what was possible.
With his smooth riding style and remarkable consistency, Jean-Claude Chemarin played a key role in writing one of the greatest chapters in endurance racing history, helping Honda secure prestigious victories and a FIM World Endurance Championship title.
An iconic machine. A legendary rider. An era when endurance racing was the ultimate test of speed, reliability, and determination.
