To this day, if you can find one in good condition, the Sabre is a great ride, even after 30 years, but finding one in good condition is the trick. 1984 HondaV65 Sabre After 30 years, the Honda VF1100S is no longer near the top of the horsepower heap, but it does what it does well enough to remain an imposing machine for day trips or touring or just knocking around Wisconsin's beautiful back roads. Back in the early half of the 1980s, the 1100 cc powerhouse used in the V65 Sabre models was the top of the Honda V-Four line. With four valves per cylinder, double overhead cams, liquid-cooling, four carbs and six speeds with shaft final drive, the V65 powerplant and powertrain was one of the most impressive performance packages Honda had ever put on the market. With the engine producing a claimed 121 horsepower, the calculated top speed at the 10,000 rpm redline in sixth gear is enough to make even experienced riders weak in the knees: 177 mph! Heck, the Sabre can break the 55 mph speed limit in first gear! The claimed numbers appear to be backed up by actual period road test data: Cycle magazine's staff achieved 0-60 mph in 3.04 seconds, a standing start quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds with a terminal speed of 121.69 mph. Despite those imposing performance numbers, the Sabre is predictable, well-mannered and easy to ride.
