Love a mid 80’s V65 Sabre. Put a windscreen on it and you have a motorcycle for the rest of your life.

**UPDATE** The auction for this lovely V65 Sabre has ended, and it fetched a damn respectable $2,600! I myself entered a few bids on it – suffice it to say, there were others willing to pay a bit more for it than I was, and I congratulate the seller and auction winner.  My loss.

Any more Honda V65 Sabres for sale anywhere else? If there are, they’re right below:

“For sale is a 1986 Yamaha Fazer with the Genesis 700cc engine. This bike is also known as the “baby V-Max” as they look very similar. This bike is in very good to excellent condition. You will not find one in this good of shape with original, shiny paint probably anywhere in the country. It has no scratches and has not been down (to my knowledge). This is a very hard to find and collectible bike. I have added foam grips, bar end mirrors, and a windshield. Fresh oil and plugs about 400 miles ago. Tires and chain in great shape. Jump on it before it’s gone. $2300 firm.”

In the Spring of 2001 I paid $2500 for my second Yamaha Fazer, a 1986 model. It wasn’t quite as nice as this particular specimen for sale. The owner/seller doesn’t state how many miles the bike has on it, but their engines hold up quite well, so I wouldn’t worry much if it was under 40k. The mounted windscreen is a third party manufactured unit; Yamaha made a color coded quarter fairing/windscreen specifically for the Fazer and Radians in 1986 that looked a little sportier than this one. I nit pick.

Although this particular 1986 Yamaha Fazer standard motorcycle is no longer for sale, there may be more:

Other Fazers may be available for sale here.
