Here we have for sale our unique Honda VTR1000 SP-Y "Castrol". This Honda VTR1000 SP1 is a Model Year 2000, one off specially commissioned bike and is unique by virtue of the fact that it remains unregistered and is showing just 5 miles. The bike was originally commissioned by Honda to be painted in the SP2 Castrol Race team colours and was shown around the Honda UK dealer network to announce the release of the soon to be SP2 and in recognition of Colin Edwards being named the new team rider for Honda in the following race season.
This model was Hondas answer to Ducati's V-twin domination of the World Superbike Championship, simple: build a V-twin to beat a V-twin. Hondas 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 VTR1000 oozes quality. Its small, compact and perfectly formed with the usual Honda build quality. The SP-Y 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.
This bike would be the ultimate VTR1000 to add to any collection and would also be a fantastic bike to take out and enjoy on the open road. Please do not hesitate to book your viewing and the chance to own this unique bike. We offer full finance options and can arrange delivery worldwide
