Click on image for the BaT link What: 1985 VF1100S V65 Sabre
Where: Hortonville, WI
Why: A clean example, no reserve
Price: Auction ends Friday
One of Bring-a-Trailer's regular flippers has another gem on offer, this lovely V65 complete with Hondaline CBX-style fairing and period correct padded sissy bar.
The bike appears to be a survivor but some of the bits look a little too perfect so that's difficult to verify. In any case the bike presents well in the photos. I don't see any corrosion to speak of and the factory mufflers are presentable, but not perfect. This example shows 21,000 miles and would make a stylish vintage sport tourer, assuming you're traveling light — there's no luggage options included. These were powerful but heavy tube-framed bikes with average brakes typical of the time, so, as one BaT commenter notes, "…that motor could write checks the brakes couldn't cash." What a great choice for a sunny Sunday morning ride on some gently curving backroads.
