Honda V65 Sabre

Completely stock unmolested 1984 Honda V65 Sabre. This is the first of the sport touring motorcycle genre. It comes with a color matched Hondaline fairing specifically made for the Sabre. It appears that the fairing is complete with mount. mirrors. windshield. lowers and installation instruction booklet. It is not currently mounted but is in good condition. This motorcycle runs and shifts as it should. It is not without a flaw or two but is in very good condition for a 30 year old motorcycle. It is a very fun vintage motorcycle that hauls a**. 1/4 mile times in the high 10's by an experienced rider. Americans love performance. so Honda gained lots of fans with the V65 Sabre™. The bike stood out from the crowd not only because of its record-shattering quarter-mile performance. The 65? That referred to the motor's displacement in cubic inches; metrically. it packed a whopping 1098cc. The Sabre was a high-tech performance machine that broke the mold. Not a cruiser. a standard. or a sportbike. the Sabre had a style all its own. and boasted the kind of stump-pulling engine performance that the inline fours of the day couldn't match. The powerplant featured liquid-cooling. twin-cam heads. a six-speed gearbox and a low-maintenance shaft final drive. The chassis components were equally impressive; cast six-spoke wheels front and back. single-shock rear suspension and a beefy 41mm leading axle fork with Honda's TRAC® anti-dive system. On top of that. the Sabre is smooth. versatile and comfortable enough for touring.
