I spent 31 days on one of these a few years ago with my daughter on for 26 of those days and just shy of 10K miles going cross country after she graduated from High School.
They are capable, surprisingly sure footed with the right tires, fast enough to embarrass the occasional squid, and they are comfortable while doing all this.
A month or so after our trip my daughter strode into my garage, planted her feet and finger wagging declared I was never selling my 85 V65 Sabre. I have no idea where that came from as I was not contemplating it and never did before. In fact at this point I had only sold 1 bike in my life back in 1979. As she marched back out of the garage with the self righteous indignation that only a teenage girl can pull off, I stood there perplexed and mildly confused. To this day I still don't know what brought that about, but I was instantly sure that I suddenly had a third certainty in my life in addition to death and taxes, yep not selling the Sabre :^)
Congratulations Keeta's brother (we'll call you that for now until we know your real name) your V65 Sabre is December 2018's BOTM.
