The SP3 would be a goodie....

[MattRSK]

SP3 looks better value. The number plate would suit too. Nice bikes!

[Sidewinder]

yea sp2 upwards is a better bike. supose the white one is the go, just hate the gay megaphone cans the put on! needs the matching ackro cans to go with the headers.

heres a couple of reviews from superbike uk mag

SP1

"nasty fuel injection glitch detracts from race proven motor and chassis. neither comfortable nor practical, the SP1 was always best suited to track days and / or short distance scratching."

SP2

"rough throttle response and lack of ground clearance are major gripes."

personally i think the SP2 is a fucking awesome bike.

not a big fan of those cans on the SP3 in that listing though eh.

[Pussy]

The fork mods, PC etc on the SP 3 would go a long way towards sorting any problems with the bike.
Put some Akrapovic cans to go with the headers, an Ohlins on the back, custom PC map by Gary Pendleton, and it will be a weapon!

I've always had a boner for the sp's, get the sp3 man, fuckin A.

I think from memory the sp2 ? has 62mm throttle bodies ! Just about big enough to suck in a 4cyl piston and shoot it out the back

yea they are just horney and there a bike that id get no matter how good or shit they were just because they make me weak at the knees

Well I'm not trying to piss on your lollies, but... I got a SP1 in 2000 and I can say its probably the worst bike I've ever owned....
Paid 29 grand for it, lost a heap when I traded it.

Terrible thing round town,had a real bad snatch from a closed throttle.
Bad "snatch"in the 2500 to 3500 rpm range, which meant at 50kph you had to leave it in 2nd and run it at 4 grand {cool sound}, or in 4th and run it at 2 grand so it sounded like a Harley {not quite that bad}.
Pegs were too high, bars too low, seat too hard...Heavy bike and underpowered compared to in line 4's....and was way overgeared...hardly ever saw 6th gear.

But with all those shaft driven cams, it had a unique whistling sound to it.

Fuck all were imported here and I believe that in 10 or 20 years they will become very collectable, like the CBX.

bro you make me want one even more that you have said that. i like high pegs, low bars and hard seat! and way more power than a vtr, just needs a new front end so it has real brakes on it an throw on some brembo mono blocks

Bad "snatch"in the 2500 to 3500 rpm range,

the last thing you want is a bad snatch.
do you think it could be smoothed out with a power commander?

[CHOPPA]

The SP1 would be my pick, its the best looking bike! Thats all that matters....

Also there is only SP1s and SP2s an sp4 is just a 2004 sp2...

Yea, snatch was the only word I could think of to describe it, and yes Powercommander did fix it..
