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. Thanks for looking
Should have seen Kev's face when I said it will be okay to run it for next years hottrax modern classics and I'd already ordered the race fairings.
I've been in there most of today and was there on Wednesday when they brought it over from Preston. Lovely bike.
Just a little video I took once we had wheeled her outside for my first proper look. Apologies. kev got a bit carried away and fired it before I got running so you miss that first... Thump?
