Honda VTR1000 SP-2 (2002 - 2008)

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
The VTR1000 SP-2 was both a blessing and nightmare for Honda. It was designed to win back the WSB title from those pesky Italians (Ducati) but failed to set the world on fire, despite two WSB titles. The original SP-1 was dogged by terrible fuel-injection and although Honda sorted it, ...  Continue reading

There are bikes that are manufactured and there are bikes that are engineered . No need to guess which one the Sp2 is . That's what makes them so special . Go look at a Mondial Piego 1000 .They fetch $30,000 5>8 yrs on and they use a RC51 motor. HRC do not stamp their name on the engine sidecases for nothing . Go check out their machines and you'll understand , the RC range is truly spectacular. Will your blade be remembered in 20yrs from now ? As a specialist machine, this is one of the finest V twin machines to come out of Japan .
