Title: Sept. 2023 bike of the Month
Post by: FromMaine on September 03, 2023, 10:50:07 AM
This months winner is a tidy example of what is probably a fairly rare bike now.

Hondaline fairing, and a KG adjustable backrest/six pack rack. Even today, I feel it would make a great one up tourer with the 750cc V4 engine coupled to shaft drive and a 6 speed tranny.

Congratulations pointybird, your 83 V45 Sabre is Sept. 2023's BOTM.

Nice bike but I think that's an actual honda backrest/rack.

Bill is correct. That is indeed a Honda line backrest/rack.

Once again I'll have to stay after school and clean the chalkboard and erasers.......🙂

Micheal,

The VF750S with the Sport fairing makes a pretty good 2 up tourer.  I added Krauser Star bags (with rack) and a home-made backrest for the pillion attached to the rack.  Tent, 2 sleeping bags, back packer stove.  Made it from Iowa through the Upper Peninsula, Onterio, Quebec City, to Acadia, then Niagra Falls, Ontario, Michigan, and Illinois.  The hairiest part was the road construction in Algonquin Provincial Park. 

Congratulations pointybird.

Neal

Congrats pointybird! Such an awesome bike. Fast and cornered very well. I had one back in the day and, being young and foolish removed and sold the fairing and back rest to get a "cleaner" look. One of the many poor choices I made in my youth.
