2001 Honda VTR 1000 F

Highlights

Only 17,000 miles from new
In current ownership for 17 years
Recent shim service by Black Dragon Motorcycles
Original metallic blue colour

The Appeal

If you're looking for reliable two-wheeled performance, Honda is, and has long been, the manufacturer to turn to.

The VTR1000F, also known as the Super Hawk, rightly revered for its powerful ninety-degree V-twin engine and sporty handling courtesy of its innovative semi-pivotless frame in which the engine is a stressed member.

This 2001 example stands out due to its low mileage and long-term ownership, making it a rare find in such well-preserved original condition.

This bike has been meticulously maintained, with a recent shim service performed by Black Dragon Motorcycles. It comes with a host of practical accessories, including a Double Bubble Screen, Baglux tank cover (with bag), and a Corbin seat. The bike's originality is preserved with its standard exhausts and original bodywork, making it a worthy consideration for collectors as well as those simply wanting a very fine motorcycle.
