Great bikes. A rarity to see two in the same spot.

This is a take your pick BOTM. Certainly like them both (a lot)! But when it gets down to brass tacks (where did that expression come from anyway?) I would favor the non windshield version.

Still one of my favorite all time bikes, and a wicked great touring machine.

Congratulations Katrina, your "pair" of 85 V65 Sabre's are July 2023's Bikes of the Month.

Nice bikes. They are not often seen on the road now, I believe.

Excellent pick Michael and very nice example Tomcat. I too am a member of the Jonesing group as well. I really liked my 1985. Scary fast under hard acceleration.

I'm in the Jonesing group, but I count that as lucky to have owned one.

I spanked a lot of younger riders on faster bikes with this.  Still rates as the most engaging motorbike I've ever owned. 

Great pick, Michael!

Congrats, Tomcat!

Magoo

Never been on one... but sure would like to... beautiful bike

Gorgeous looking bike!

Excellent pick, Michael! That is a gorgeous bike!!

These bikes are just iconic now, a snapshot to when Honda absolutely ruled the engineering and innovation side of motorcycling (IMO).

Plus, I meet a LOT of former owners who are Jonesing hard that they ever sold theirs, so I like to sprinkle them in to BOTM from time to time.

I like the picture also, no glory shot, just a clean white stucco wall with a door in the background. The bike stands out on its own. Simple, pleasing.

Congratulations tomcat2626, your 85 Vf1000R is June 2023's BOTM.

If you have gotten this far and read the discussion about a mythical VF1100R LE, and have any knowledge of such a thing (Attn: Raymond.......:+) please post something on the Main discussion thread.

 

Very nice, it looks great in yellow.
