[[file: Honda_SP2_06.jpg | 550px 600px | center | Honda VTR1000 SP-2]] The '' Honda VTR1000F '' sports bike model was introduced in 1997 for the markets of Japan, Australia and Europe. The model also had the prefix "'''Firestorm"''', but in the North American market it was called differently - "'''Superhawk"'''.

The VTR1000 was driven by Honda's desire to create a full-fledged sports bike that matches European motorcycle concepts and ideas - in particular, the flagship models of Ducati and Moto Guzzi. The engine from [[Honda_Shadow_1100 | VT1100]] was used as a prototype engine in the early stages of development (1986), but the project was subsequently frozen. They returned to it only in 1994, seriously revising the configuration of everything - from design, chassis to engine.
2006 was the last year of production of the model, after which it finally left the conveyor and did not receive further development. In recent years (since 2004), the VTR1000F was not sold in Japan, but was only available in export versions.
