The Honda VTR1000F is a motorcycle manufactured by Honda.
History
In 1997 Honda began producing a street-oriented GT motorcycle using a
historically important name: Superhawk. The previous (60's) Superhawk
was a parallel twin motorcycle that Robert M. Pirsig rode in "Zen
and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". The original Superhawk was
a commercial success, hence the name being recycled. The new Superhawk
was introduced after the Ducati 916 made V-twin sportbikes popular again.
The new Superhawk uses an all new 90 degree V-twin. The bike introduced
several new design concepts such as the "pivotless frame", side
radiators, single casting engine case, connecting rods with cap screws
instead of nuts, and the largest carburetors Honda ever put on a motorcycle.
"Pivotless frame" meant that engine was a stressed member with
the swingarm bolted directly to the enigne. The bike was released in 1997
as an early release 1998 model year. One motorcycle magazine suggested
(circa 2000) that this bike was the fastest 0-60 mph production bike at
the time. A racing version of the bike was expected from Honda. Honda
produced in 2000 the RVT1000R (RC51) known outside the United States as
the VTR1000SP, though the bike had only four engine parts in common with
the modern Superhawk. The RC51 was an entirely new V-twin racing platform
that won the World Superbike championship its first year racing with Colin
Edwards and the Castrol team.
