It stems from their early days in building amazing four-stroke GP road racers under the HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) banner. These bikes carried the RC designation (Racing Corporation). One of the more famous examples was the 1966 RC166 250-cc inline-six cylinder making 65 horsepower at nearly 20,000 rpm.

Here's one last link link to a video of Honda engineers disassembling an RC166 engine. It's fascinating.
