Honda Sabre description

1985 V65 Honda Sabre in excellent condition with 26K miles. Clear title and garage kept it's entire life. This bike has always been professionally well maintained and is fully functional minus the battery. The engine is an 1100cc liquid cooled V4 coupled with a 6 speed transmission (w/over-drive) and shaft drive that pulls like a freight train (it's really powerful). It also starts effortlessly and doesn't leak anything. Excellent tires and rubber. The bike was covered when I had my first kid 7 years ago in perfect working order and ran like the day it was manufactured. I have recently washed it and got it running, but it has a hesitation in the acceleration now. I have posted a detailed video of it running here.

 Everything functions down to the digital clock (shown in the video). I put a battery in it 3 years ago with the intention to sell and couldn't bring myself to do it, so it needs a battery again. The plastics are in good shape other than a chip in the tail piece. The gas tank is in excellent condition with only one slightly dented area out of sight against the steering neck. All pieces have the factory paint in good condition except the front fender which has a triangular piece of paint missing that did not adhere well to the plastic I suppose. It was there when I bought it. It also has a bit of spider cracking in the plastic gauge lens that is common among Honda's of this era. Just a cover so it can be very easily replaced. They sell them all day on Ebay. The glue let go of the mirror in the right side view mirror and it fell. Local glass shop quoted $20 to cut a new one. All issues and assets are clearly visible in the video. The bike also includes the original hand grips in perfect condition and a factory service manual in great condition. This bike should be trailered home until you have a safer place to ride it to smooth out the carbs and I'm retaining the license plate.

I love and adore this bike but I have small children now, so it's time for the motorcycle collection to go. I'm asking less than blue book because of the hesitation.

Results From Day 1 Of Second Sepang MotoGP Test

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

With the absence of Marc Marquez from the second Sepang MotoGP test, due to a broken leg suffered in a training accident, another Honda rider took his place at the top of the time sheets, though it’s not who you might think. Alvaro Bautista on the Gresini Honda set the fastest time at the end of the first day with a 2:00.848. The time is 1.3 second slower than the fastest time Marquez set at the last Sepang test.

2012 Honda NC700X and NC700S Debut in Canada – MSRP Expected to be “Under $9000″ [Video]

Sat, 10 Dec 2011

There are no plans yet to bring either model to the U.S., but Honda is bringing its new NC700S and NC700X models to Canada for the summer of 2012. American Honda will however, likely be keeping a close eye on how the new models do with its northern neighbor (or perhaps “neighbour”) before deciding whether to import the NC700 models stateside. Making their North American debuts at the 2011 Toronto Motorcycle Show, the naked standard NC700S and the more adventure-touring styled NC700X represent a new product family for Honda, sharing the same frame and 670cc parallel Twin engine with each other and the Honda Integra scooter-motorcycle crossover (speaking of which, there are no plans for the Integra to come to either the U.S.

Thu, 09 May 2013

American Honda released a video teasing a new 2014 off-road model which will be revealed in May 14. The 2:21 video was shot with an action camera mounted along the top of the swingarm as the mystery model races around a motocross track. The most obvious conclusion is the teaser is for the 2014 Honda CRF450R or CRF250R.
