Honda VTR1000

aka SuperHawk in the US,
FireStorm elsewhere (go figure...)

Not much on this page so far. I bought this bike from Honda of Milpitas. It's a way from San Francisco, but those guys are great.
The best for some information on the VTR is to go take a look as some sites dedicated to this amazing bike:

• Zik's VTR page

• The Honda VTR1000 Registry

• Joakim Magnus Taraldsen's VTR1000 page
