Just browsing craigslist, I found an 84 V64 thats been sitting for a few years. Owner says it needs battery and oil change and should run. It doesn't look very good, but could be fun. Lst thing i need is a project, but I'm still drawn to it!



over 100 hp could be fun.

I know I should forget it, but hmmm....

 

For $100, why not? As long as you're prepared to spend a bit of time or money getting it running...

 

"sitting for a few years"? better check the back registration or it may be a lot more than $100.

if all it takes is a battery and oil change, that's simple enough-see if you can get that done first before the sale just to make sure it runs.

 

That's actually a V65 Sabre. Honda also made the V65 Magna which was a much more popular bike. For $100 that looks like an good project. You shouldn't have problems finding most parts for it since Honda made so many of the Magnas. By all means at least go see it though.

V64? whats that

 

where in socal is the bike? a friend needs to get started on a bike and is poor.

 

**** for a $100 you could part it out and make money.

 

I'm at school, and with finals coming up, the last thing I need to do is mess with a project like that.

if anyone is interested in it.

 

Thats a great bike! My dad used to have one - 124hp and a ton of torque to go with it. Awesome sounding V4 engine. Very reliable, however it was CARB'd so im sure thats going to need some work to get it all happy again.

Great bike.

It's easy working on those honda carbs.. I fixed up a 84 nighthawk that was sitting for over 12 years.. just cleaned out the jets, float bowl, bought a new battery and tires. Ran like a champ

 

Do a search for "honda v65 v4 top end" on google. Not one of the more reliable Hondas. If its that cheap the head is probably no good. But who knows.

 

remember there is always reason why its so cheap.. meaning you also have to put lot of time and money into it.

 

uhh in 1984, pluto was still a planet.....
