as for me, SP is overpriced. Furthemore, not sure the sp is efficient as the storm on little toad (not very flat as on a track road) And! compare price and perf of sp and rsv aprilia... the choice is quickly done... A new 125bhp VTR! i would like ta have one but it will cost too much for me. if only...

I know there are only two type of vtr.....VTR1000 Firestorm and VTR1000 Superhawk...think the same bike! you're are right too. but in france, the name of VTR is firestom too but we always call it VTR1000 seldom firestorm. But VTr sp1 are called SP1. must be a culture question. and as far as i'm con...

i think 600 F4i is in Europe 600CBR. and if it's about the latest 600 sportbike from honda, i think it the 600 CBR RR which is concerned. trojan said : It makes sense the latest 600s are as powerful as the engine in a VTR, which is 10 years old now. I agree. The VTR is 7-8 years conception old. stil...

i don't know wath is a F4I (may be an other name in france?) But if it's a 600 CC, the difference could be in gears changing and gears power. With a 600, you're always changing gear to have a good power because of the torqueqhich is present only in high revolutions. With a VTR, torque is disposal, i...
