Skids

Ebay, Italian I think. Sorry, no link

Love it 

A beautiful sunny Sunday so the Crossrunner gets a bath.

One can rent those down under?! I can only imagine the brilliance!

Yup! It was an article I read in Bike magazine over a decade ago that gave me the desire to do it. Christchurch Honda rent out the bikes. It HAS to be on every VFR owners Bucket List!

Great shot Skids. Remember driving the road up to the other end of the lake, spectacular. My partner said if she had a dollar for every time I mentioned "wish I had the VFR here" she'd be a millionaire!

A truly memorable holiday, beautiful country, great people and a great bike to see it all on!

North Island is next on the list.

Love that color combination on a 5th gen - the luggage is a perfect match for the bike - looks great. 

T'was a rental. Brilliant holiday.

Beautiful red on those 6th Gens. 

Oooh, that's an old one. 

2 clean bikes (and 2 dirty cars!)

Beautiful photo.

Such as fine sight indeed - reminded me of the The Eagles track. On my way home this evening, an RSV4 came up behind me so I let her past. And yes, that's the view from the cockpit of a VFR800X Crossrunner (for all you dudes across the pond!). 😝

Agree with Grum, lovely bike, great photo!

Indeed, a fabulous picture.

Brecon Beacons, Wales

Salcey Forest cafe for lunch.

Great country, great folk, great roads. What more do you want?

The F4 Phantom.....living proof that if you strap big enough engines on it, even a brick wall can fly!

You may want to put your question in the Forum part of the site rather than as a comment to a photo which not everyone will view easily.

Yes, we did a winery tour in Blenheim.

Indeed!

There is actually not much in common between a VTR and an SP1 . 

SP1 has shorter stroke, fuel injection, gear driven cams, UD forks, different swing arm and rear suspension, different frame, much better brakes, and the list goes on. 

That's what I was after, thank you. I know nothing about either really so such big differences, apart from the obvious visual ones, make decision making easier.

Cheers.

What's the difference between the VTR1000 and the SP1/2? I'm still toying with purchasing an SP2. Cheers.
