1985 Honda V65 Sabre, VF1100S, Very Low Mileage, Very Rare, NO RESERVE

Description

I am a 100% disabled Veteran with two of these bikes and can only justify one so this one is for sale.   I need the money to finish my wheel chair van for another family member.   I am keeping the 1984 version of the same bike.   It was hard to part with either one but this one lost the toss of a coin.   I keep the bike insured for $3600. 00 and ride it occasionally to keep it in good shape.   I have used synthetic oil every since I bought it to keep internal wear down.   New battery this last spring.   Tires have good tread and in good shape except for a slow leak on the rear tire.   Like any 30 year old bike it is in need of new paint but I chose to leave that to the new owner.   Starts and runs good.   Shifts up and down without any problems.   Solid bike!  No laydowns or drops.   All six gears are smooth as silk!

I reserve the right to cancil this auction as I am listing it locally as well.   If distance is the problem I will do what I can to help with delivery of the bike for an additional fee after payment has cleared.   Most of the bike's issues are cosmetic and I present pics as current condition of the bike.   If you have questions. please ask.
