'Honda’s built a winner (on the road at least)'. So we declared after testing Honda's new chips-down v-twin superbike for the first time. It may not have been HRC's proudest moment – for once following where Ducati led – but it looked set to be the closest alignment yet of fast road and race riders' desires.
'Reasons to choose a 996 or maybe even an R1 are running short. Foggy, however may yet have other ideas…' History may have showed little mercy for these hostages to fortune, but the 'bargain'* £9750 SP1 (as we weren't sure we would come to call it), was destined to command a cult following and win the WSB title at its first shot. We were right to be this excited, weren't we?
