Sabres from the Internet

'82 The original V45 Sabre.

My brother Dave sold a bunch of parts to the guy that rebuilt this bike. The easiest way to tell the difference between an '82 and '83 was the '82 had the stripe on the air cleaner (black box just below the tank and behind the radiator cover.)

Stock '83 V45 (750cc) 

Thanks to the Harley tariff of 1983, Honda and the other Japanese makers reduced their 750cc models down to 700cc models.

'84 700 with a '83 or '82 fairing

('84 and '85 fairings were color matched to the bike. Since not many color match fairings were sold,

many owners bought the left over '82 & '83 fairings)

Stock '85 700 Black, Silver and Red Stripe

'85 Canadian model

Since this was from a Salvage yard, I guess they decided to add

the chrome muffler and chrome front fender, original were black.

You really don't see very many V65 Sabres with the saddlebags.

A very rare find, if he had the saddlebag mounts for it
