Below is the URL for my chronological moto photo history including the V65 Sabre, thanks to the internet for historical photos: http://tinyurl.com/bm857n Got the Sabre out for a short spin last week after finally buying a new battery, Had been charging it for every ride the last three years. Don't like to let it sit all winter so if there is a dry day. I have it wired for the electric clothing also. Brr a naked bike in WA state winter is no fun. This bike was bought by my late brother Mark. We went to Renton WA Honda summer of '87 as they had a large ad in the Valley News advertising sales of bikes that had been in warehouses for some time during the early/mid '80's recession. This bike sold for 'about' $4k new and it was $2715 on this sale. I was only part time employed so getting a new bike was not an option. Mark did not ride much and never in inclement weather so the bike was a low mileage garage queen when I became the owner. He only put on 10k mi in those 18 years. I tried to buy the bike several times later but wasn't til he was moving to NM in 2005 that he was ready to sell it. Cosmetic it nearly perfect but needed hrs of replacing fluids and carb overhaul. Getting those carbs out between the V4 cyl was difficult as the carb boots were age hardened. Had to replace those boots before carb install. A modern classic I call it. A hunert HP is still respectable these days. Thanks for listening. I miss my brother Mark as we had many experiences together. We go along for a ride together on his bike.
