Bike ID: #9459 Here we have for sale our stunning example of the iconic Honda VTR1000 SP1, having covered just 11,198 miles our UK, 2002 example is in fantastic condition and is fitted with custom hand made stainless steel exhausts and tail tidy. The bike shows two previous owners and is supplied with 3 keys, the original hand book and numerous old MOT's charting the bikes mileage history. The SP1 was Honda's answer to Ducati's V-twin domination of the World SuperBike Championship, simple: build a V-twin to beat a V-twin. Honda's racing arm HRC did exactly that and the resulting bike was the RC51, more commonly known in Europe as SP1. There's no getting away from it, the SP1 oozes quality. It's small, compact and perfectly formed with the usual Honda build quality. The SP1 is more than capable of delivering a thrilling ride, pegs are high and set back and the seat is shaped for instant knee-down cornering. While the power output is marginal compared to some big in-line four-cylinder bikes, there's plenty of torque and horsepower to be applied usefully thanks the waif-like chassis dimensions.
