The state of the art Honda VTR1000 SP1 (European name) racing superbike is known as the RC51 at the factory and also as the RVT1000R (in the United States) and produced by Honda from 2000 to 2006. The RC51 was designed as the motorcycle to be used by Honda's racing teams in the Superbike World Championship. The 2000–2001 models are designated SP1, while the 2002–2006 models are designated SP2 (the latter having updated fuel injection and suspension systems). The engine is a 999cc dual overhead cam vee-twin unit with two fuel injectors and four valves per cylinder. Power is delivered to the rear wheel by a close-ratio, six-speed transmission. The chassis is constructed from aluminium alloy, being a twin-spar design.
From the ownership of motorcycle racer Lloyd Dickinson and with c.10,000 miles indicated and 4 previous keepers, this SP1 has resided in present ownership since 2015. Having been part of a private collection and little used, it has been moved around regularly and run. The machine has benefitted from a recent service from a specialist. We believe this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a relatively low mileage un-molested SP1.
