The Honda RC116 was a race motorcycle built by Honda Japan for the 50 cc class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing in the 1966 season, a development of the previous RC115. It won three of the six races that season, with Ralph Bryans finishing second in the world championship, Luigi Taveri third and Honda taking the constructors' title. For its ultra-lightweight 50 cc Grand Prix bikes in the 1964, 1965 and 1966 seasons Honda revived the 1920s format of cable-actuated caliper rim brakes, with shoes acting directly on the aluminium rim sides, which made the wheel rims almost a consumable item but dispensed with heavy conventional brake parts and allowed lightweight airflow-smoothing discs to cover the hubs.
