The Honda V65 Sabre was built around the 1100cc engine that also powered its cruiser-brother, the Magna. The engine stole the show, as it produced 121 horsepower – capable of pushing the bike up to a “design speed” of 173 miles per hour. However arbitrary that might sound, it was good for an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for 3 years…
Let’s continue to ignore the theoretical top speed and just enjoy what actually happened – Cycle Magazine was able to knock out the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds with the Sabre, and could break the national speed limit of 55 just in first gear. But it wasn’t just powerful – thanks to the adjustable suspension and an optional fairing, it was a great touring bike, as well. For more on the Sabre, check out this recent look back from Motorcycle-USA.
This specific V65 Sabre has the optional fairing, and it looks to be in great shape. Included in the sale is the original owner’s manual with case, tire pressure gauge, and tool kit. Find this Honda V65 Sabre for sale in Cove City, North Carolina with a BIN of $3,900
