    A chance meeting with a good all round mate this week 'and incidentally works at the local Honda dealerships' has lead me to upping the Honda garage by one today.
    Seriously i just can't begin to tell you how chuffed i feel right now.
    With all the new bikes coming out & me having a couple of pence burning a hole in my pocket i just did not know what to do? Well fate made that decision for me.

    So, in true Garyb form i went backwards.

    I remember when these first came out it was just a thing of my dreams, well now they have been realized.

    Meet Honda VTR SP1 that's going to be keeping the Blade company for a while.

    Spec.
    17,300 miles
    Power commander 3 with custom Map.
    Leo Vince Cans "plus originals'
    Oz racing lightweight wheels. 'Spare pair on way'
    Harris performance front & rear carbon fiber fenders. 'plus originals on way'
    Full Honda & Cosworth History.
    The engine has had some modding done to it too, but until i see the receipts & i can recite the words, well in the words of a good mate, it was just Blah Blah Blah

    Just had valve clearance service done,

    Anyway, give me a dry day, and i'll let you know if it's as good as i remember it, that first day way back when i rode one trembling like a shitting dog.

    A few pics.
