So apart from the visual differences, what are the main differences between the three, are the base bikes similar or not?

US developed VR980 prototype (based on GT650 Hawk) that was the concept for the VTR1000F Firestorm / Superhawk

SP1 and SP2 (RC51/RVT1000R) different kettle's of fish entirely apart from being Honda V-Twins

The Storm and the SP are about 90% different bikes.

Hi All,
Thanks for this, thought they must be, but you never know...

Cheers

Just checking, so even the engine castings are different?

Nearest you get is that three out of four bolts line up fitting an SP1 sprocket cover on a storm.

Although one day I'll check to see if the clutch cover from an SP1 fits
looks like it might.
