Feb. 2025 Bike of the Month

[FromMaine]

Well, we went from -3F here to a balmy 23F finally, I actually overheard someone in the hardware store comment on how nice it was today. Right.

Time to throw another log on the fire and talk motorcycles.

This months winner is a nice example of one of my favorite bikes, the V65 Sabre. Big, powerful, and a tad heavy. Its weight was an asset on bumpy highways, its 18" front wheel tracking nicely, its 1100cc V4 made passing at will, even two up, a breeze. Not everyone is onboard with the styling, but I am. The paint scheme in grey still one of the best liveries out there. In my mind, still an incredible bargain for what you get for your money.

So congratulations, lovemysabre, your 1985? V65 Sabre is Feb. 2025's BOTM.

A link, check out the fairing, and yes there is a non oem muffler on the right side, He gets a pass on that one.

Actually our friend explains in his post #5 that he re-installed the stock muffler on the right side because he preferred the stock look:



I'd add that bike to my stable in a heartbeat.

I like the like the Sabre styling.

Congratulations,lovemysabre!!
Awesome choice, Michael!
My first V4 was a V65 Sabre. Although they handle great in the twisties, they excel as a mile eating cross country freeway burner!

Nice Sabre! Congrats lovemysabre!

On this side of the pond these Big Sabres (not if the were already) are getting rare. You can find some parts but a complete bike is not for sale anymore in my country.
