1984 Honda Sabre VF700S Custom

In Custom, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

The 698cc Sabre was one of Honda’s creations built to get around the tax imposed on imported motorcycles with engines of 700cc and up. By all accounts it was a solid touring bike, but because they were sold for just two years you rarely see custom builds based on this platform. Well, here’s one of the rare ones…but do you think it’s any good?

The VF700S produced 76 horsepower, good for a top speed of 121 miles per hour. For more on the stock bike, check out this article on Motorcycle Classics. This example (VIN: JH2RC2200EM003057) has obviously been heavily customized, though the seller can’t seem to be bothered to describe the work that’s been done. Highlights include the custom “root beer float” paint, extended swingarm, custom subframe, Acewell digital cluster, Sun rims, and shortened exhaust. Here’s how it started – is the new version an improvement?
