Honda VTR 1000 SP1 Race Bike Track Bike RC51 Golden Era

Description

Honda VTR1000 SP1My personal race bike. only being sold because I'm changing classes for next year. Bike is very competitive in the Golden Era or Modern Classics classes. had multiple podiums this year and it is currently in the top 3 in the championship. Bike has been stripped and rebuilt twice in the last 2 years just for piece of mind. it has never let me down since I prepared the bike. I wasn't planning on selling the bike but my sponsors want me to race in a different class next year. so it is ready to race or to be used as a very quick and well prepared track bike. Holds its own in the fast group very easily at any trackday. Already appreciating classic. Spec:

2000 SP1 frame and engine. genuine blank frame that hasn't been tampered with (was thoroughly checked to ensure it is genuine and passed to race with Thundersport). all engine numbers intact and not messed with

Standard headers with Beowulf link pipes and cans with baffles

PAIR system removed

Sigma slipper clutch - essential for track use on one of these

Red Samco hose kit

Durbahn airbox and spare filter - rare and expensive part and makes a good power increase

Robby moto quick action throttle with 4 cams and 1 race meet old cables (quickest cam currently fitted)

Nitron race shock with rebound. high and low speed compression. preload and ride height adjustment - it's got a black Nitron spring because I don't like the look of the turquoise ones. it cost me £25 extra but makes the bike look right - done 6 race meetings from new

Sprung for someone 12st. but I put on weight and it was still good when I was 14st without leathers

Complete sub 1000 mile SP2 gearbox in excellent condition

Multiple 16. 5 slicks - part worn from BSB. been stored in a cupboard at a constant temperature

Various other bits and bobs

Some of the spares aren't pictured because they are kept safe at home

The spare engine has a suspected gearbox issue. the engine itself is still all good with good compression and power. I was still using it but you had to use the clutch for up changes to avoid the odd false neutral. I just put another engine in to do the rest of the year and got the gearbox and crank to build a tuned engine over winter.
