Honda’s VTR1000 Firestorm was the top selling big road bike in New Zealand for the year 2000. Its 90 registrations easily eclipsed the 57 achieved by the second-placed Suzuki GSX1200 Bandit.
Blue Wing Honda General Manager Clive Cooper-Smith said: ‘This result is a reflection of the commitment that Honda has to building motorcycles which are both technically advanced and have great character and rider appeal. Whilst the Suzuki sits in the marketplace at a lower price than the Honda does, serious motorcyclists can clearly justify paying a little more for the quality, rideability and resale value of the Honda.’
Since introduction of the VTR1000 in 1997 it has been a consistent top seller, and with a new model about to be launched Blue Wing Honda are looking forward to the continuing success of this legendary motorcycle in the marketplace.
