skippyboyo1 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi guys,Ive just got rid of my GSXR1000 K4 and i was looking to get an R6 for the track and a bit of road work however,ive started looking at the Honda SP1. ive done my research and i cant seem to find any horror stories however i ride real hard so i need a bike that will take the abuse. I know the top end of these are no where near my old bike due to the V-Twin,the BHP is around the 133bhp however i just like anyones input on these models Any info would be fab Thanks in advance guys!

AlliRR Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Tbh I think its quite a heavy bike for trackdays, if I were you id get another gixxer, a 750k8 model. Similar power to the SP, but lighter, more flickable and higher top end. I had an SP for all of two months and didnt get on with it, well built though! I ended up with a TL1000s for fun.

dude Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My mate had an SP1 and spent over 10K on it, great bike and quick but he was a bit miffed when he rode my Mille R which had everything standard he had bought for the SP and I still had a slipper clutch which he did not have.

mikeyh Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 for track i would go for the 750 very nimble little bike easier to chuck around than a 1000 and still has a very good top end. test ride one im sure you wont be dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well thanks everyone however ive ended up with a 2004 r6! had most of the big stuff GSXR1000 K1,GSXR1000K2,GSX1300R,GSX1000K4 and after riding the r6 all the way from cardiff i think its a wicked little bike.topped it out at 169mph which felt weard (used to 186mph) but looking foward to some good trackdays now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
