Wow- she's beautiful. I would love have that in my stable. The Sabre has especially nice lines without the fairing and bags - although I would want them if I owned one.

I notice the politically corrected statue in the background.

I've always felt its a good thing to occasionally check in with your roots with whatever it is you consider a hobby, passion or pastime. Be it Golf, Winetasting, Hiking, Painting, or for those of us here, Motorcycling.

Its interesting to see how your perspective, experience and feelings change, sometimes back and forth as we move forward.

When first introduced, this months winner was considered not only groundbreaking, but a light years leap forward in motorcycling.

TRAC anti dive, 4 valves per cylinder, ECU ignition, Mono shock suspension, shaft drive, Tokyo by Night clocks, and last but by no means least................a V4 for the masses..............

Wow.

By todays standards its considered a dinosaur.

A nice dinosaur, but a dinosaur.

Looking through pics for this months BOTM, I came across this one and realized, I still like the looks of these, and would happily ride one again.

So there you have it. Congratulations sctdixon, your 82 VF750S Sabre is August 2024's BOTM.

That's a clean copy indeed.

I like the backreast and the bags. I need bags for going to hardware store or storing a diet Coke for a day trip.

Bike manufacturers seem to be falling all over each other these days trying to one up each other in the middleweight 600-750 cc and even the 250-400 cc markets. Its as if they collectively all woke up from a two decade Bender to realize not everyone wants, needs, or can even ride a 1000-1400 cc Rocket, 900 lb Barcolounger with reverse gear or a Portly 34" seat height "Adventure" bike (de rigueur over priced and engineered riding gear sold separately).
From The early 80's to the late 90's I think all 4 Japanese manf's, not just Honda, offered good looking and performing bikes in the small to mid size market. As someone who recently sold 2 bikes and has looked at pretty much every new middleweight offering out there, I can honestly say I am beginning to appreciate even the bikes I passed on from that earlier era even more for what they are vs todays.

So, congratulations Fred1845, your clean looking 86VF700C is July 2024's BOTM.

This may not be I bike I have to have, but I can certainly appreciate it looks the part of what it is. If someone approached me and said you have to ride this from Maine to San Diego, I'd say "Hell Yeah" and probably have a blast.........

Yea, I guess it had to happen eventually. Kerry really loved this bike. I hope he's still cruising along with it. Good choice Michael.

Wait a minute, is that picture in the mountains? I bet he was a real canyon carver on that machine! :-)
