The 1985 Honda V65 Sabre stood out from the crowd not only because of its record-shattering quarter mile performance ( around 11 seconds) but also because it was powered by a V-4 engine in a crowd of inline 4 cylinders competitors

It was a high performance machine that brake the mold:

Not a cruiser, standard or a sport bike, it has a style on its own and boasted the kind of stump pulling engine performance that the inline four of the day couldn't match

The power plant feature liquid-cooling twin cam heads, six speed gearbox and a low maintenance shaft final drive

Pumping a walloping 121 HP , the mighty Sabre can launch from a standstill to 50 miles per hour in just 2.31 seconds   

In addition , the 90-degreeV-4 package is physically narrower than the transverse four cylinder engines and the Sabre's forward bank of cylinders help ensure sufficient front-end weight bias for excellent steering 

The chassis components are equally impressive, cast six spokes wheels front and back, single shock rear suspension and a beefy 41 mm leading fork with TRAC anti dive system

On top of that the Sabre was smooth , versatile and comfortable enough for touring
