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.

This specific Honda V65 Sabre (VIN: 1HFSC1704FA104088) has 10,200 miles and looks great. It could arguably use some new paint, but otherwise it’s just a original, low mileage bike.
