    Always loved the look and sound of the Honda SP2. Good value now and a piece of history that still hammers!

    Quoting Jay-Dee on 20 Jul 2019 12:15 PM

    They're slow by today's sports bike standards but still bloody fast and fairly hard to come by now. Nobody wanted the white ones when I bought mine, it's 2002 plated and was still in the shop brand new in 2004, the dealer had two of them.

    I still like the SP-1 as well, seeing one of them go past made me ditch my Firestorm for the SP-2. It's a shame you had to let your SP-1 go speedzter.

    Funny to think of them as slow, but yes compared to new standard of 200 hp bikes.
    Love the sound of the SP's gear driven Cam's.
    The SP had great handling on our shit roads.
    Not track perfect, but ever once gave the slightest twitch on the road.
    I also went from a Firestorm to the SP ! 

    As you say, cant beet a good V Twin !!
    Now I'm off to look through Bikesales ...........

    Been away for a bit ridin this........so, it’s a great bike for having fun on. Goes like all hell, handles like a dream, stops on a dime and is reasonably capable off-road. Still, wouldn’t be without my King......which is under the cover lol......
