90 V-twin sport bike produced by Honda from 1997 to 2005. Known
worldwide as the Firestorm, in the USA it was marketed as the
SuperHawk. The VTR1000F was introduced in 1997 using an all new
90-degree V-twin engine and a HMAS (Honda Multi-Action System) fork
and shock. The bike also ushered in several new design concepts for
Honda such as the semi-pivotless frame, where the engine is a
stressed member with the swingarm bolted directly to it. Other
innovations were side radiators, single-casting engine case,
connecting rods with cap screws instead of nuts, and 38 mm intake
valves, the largest Honda has ever used on a production motor at
that time.[4] It had the largest carburetors ever put on a
production motorcycle (48 mm).[4] In order to overcome response
irregularities typical for larger V-twin engines, Honda figured out
different camshaft profiles and intake manifold dimensions for the
two cylinders, and the power control of the engine was praised in
motorbike surveys.[5] Cycle World list a quarter-mile time and
speed of 11.03-second/124.26-mph.
