1982 Honda VF750 V45 Sabre, 749cc. Registration number YVU 390Y. Frame number RC07 2001900. Engine number RC07E 1009334.
When the V45 Sabre (touring) was introduced in 1982, it shared the V4 engine design with the Interceptor (sport bike) and Magna (cruiser). The 750cc engine produced 82 horsepower. Within a couple of years, Honda had shrunk the bike down to 700cc to circumvent the taxes imposed on 750cc and larger import bikes by the US International Trade Commission.
YVU has had long term family/friend ownership; owned in 1995 by Roy Morris of Blackburn it moved on to P Butterworth of Halifax in 2001, Andrew Coulthard of Cheltenham had it in 2008 and then our vendor took over ownership in 2009.
