The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The V-twin VTR1000, introduced in 1997, was built by Honda to compete with Ducati in the showroom and on the race track going on to win two World Superbike Championships for Colin Edwards in 2000 and 2002.
This VTR is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. The bike appears to have been an ongoing project and it has been refinished in a good quality Rothmans Racing replica paint scheme and fitted with a full Delkevic stainless steel 2-into-2 exhaust system that looks like it never been used. The headlamp is not fitted but comes supplied with the bike together with a spare wiring harness, a new carbon look rear light unit and a couple of spare dash boards. An interesting project to finish off and recommission it comes together with keys and a current V5C.
