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

We're all doomed...

Went to meet Niall Mackenzie at Donington on Saturday. He was doing some one-on-one instruction at a two-day Focused Events track bash, the first to be held at the newly reopened Leicestershire circuit. I was really interested in what they’d done to the track and the new chicane looks the business.

From an EnduroCross press release: Factory Beta and Stillwell Performance-backed Cody Webb took a decisive win tonight in Salt Lake City’s inaugural AMA GEICO EnduroCross event. The win was Webb’s second after taking the first round victory in Las Vegas and puts him and his Beta two-stroke 300 into the points lead. The race fans in attendance at the Energy Solutions Arena saw a night go almost perfectly for GEICO-supported Webb.

Honda Fury Special Edition Controversy?

Fri, 17 Jul 2009

It seems the idea that there is a “special edition” Honda Fury has achieved urban-legend levels. Motorcycle.com recently spoke to Jon Seidel of American Honda to clarify some of the controversy generated in www.furyforums.com regarding a special edition Fury model. According to Seidel, no mention was ever made to the media during the Fury’s press unveiling or in any press material or at any other time, “that any Fury color or specific Fury model was a special edition.” Seidel stated that he also queried Honda’s product planning department about the existence of any special edition models and reported that no information had ever been released or implied from Honda Product Planning as to the existence of a Fury SE.
