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

Honda CB900F Bol D'or

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Slick videos shot on HD GoPros (complete with dubstep soundtracks) are now common place. But back in the late 80s, self shot videos were much thinner on the ground, due to expensive camcorders that were about the same size as a petrol tank and probably just as heavy too.In a blast from the past, 'Old love' features a Honda CB900F Bol D'or and was posted online a few days ago by the self-proclaimed 'one of the quickest 'drivers' in Langenhagen, Germany': Jan Rosanka. The Blue Order remix is a great choice to accompany the short but my favourite scene is the friendly 'hi' to camera followed by the middle finger.

When it’s minus nine outside, riding motorbikes should be the last thing on any sane person’s mind. Riding them off-road, nearly two thousand feet above sea level seems even more stoopid. But that’s where I was a week last Saturday.
