VTR Question
So, What does VTR stand for? Why do bikes have so many different names?
eg; Honda 996 VTR1000f Superhawk Firestorm Har har, Rob |

Not sure but I thought it stands for V Twin Race or Racing. RVT is Racing V Twin...Don't quote me tho.
|
V Twin Road (as it's not a race bike and was never ment to be) but who really knows.....
|
Whatever the marketing dept thinks sounds cool at the moment. :)
Since we all know that it's not really a racer nor ever even marketed that way, it probably should have been labeled as a VT1000F. The F series has always been a sport bike but not necessarily a race replica (R series) but in 1986 Honda went from the VF series to the VFR moniker and everything sporty since has had the R in the first set of letters even if a bike like the VFR turned towards sport-touring. |
VTR = Very Tough & Reliable
Like come ON! :p |
See now I always thought the F in VFR stood for V Four R, or R Four V....
|
In Hondaspeak, VT prefix = V twin; R suffix = any road sports bike.
Model word names are a whole new artform. I particularly like the thinking behind the Isuzu Bighorn Plaisir. |
