An image of power
The VTR1000 SP-2 delivers an exhilarating racing-class image with looks to drool over. Its aggressive racing-class response translates equally well to top performance both on the track and on the road.

Mind blowing torque
The SP-2's power plant, a 999cm3 DOHC 8-valve V-twin engine delivers a sizeable 4PS increase in maximum power output and a stronger, more breathtaking surge of acceleration. Newly designed exhaust ports feature a Works-derived shape for faster exhaust velocity and combustion chamber evacuation.

Superbike handling
Precise control is assured via the SP-2's diamond-configuration twin-spar aluminium frame, which houses a 'combined Pivot' for the swingarm, which itself attaches to the engine for race-ride handling you expect.

New style swingarm
If there's anything that really sets the SP-2 apart from its predecessor, it is without a doubt its all-new press-forged aluminium swingarm which delivers aggressively responsive racing-class performance.

Real stopping power
Wide-diameter, 320mm dual floating front discs stopped by responsive 4-piston callipers provide the necessary bite.

The VTR1000 SP-2's front calliper mounts incorporate removable stays that accept a wide range of replacement callipers. Similarly, HRC's familiar, five-spoke, U-section cast alloy wheels accept a wide choice of racing slicks and road-legal rubber.
