Fav bike of 1984

(1/4) > >>

faffi:
Actually, a limited selection of bikes to choose from; the bikes tested by Cycle magazine in 1984. I surprised myself by actually picking the V65SP from the lot, above bikes like the K100RS, V65 Sabre, Ninja 900, FJ1100, Venture Royale, to name just a few.

bad Chad:
My favorite of that year was indeed the V65 Saber.  But in 83 it was the LeMansIII, still the best looking motorcycle ever produced.

SIR REAL ED:

Probably the FJ1100 for me.  I couldn't afford one back then, but all the magazine dudes liked it.

elrealistico:
V65 Sabre all day. But I was on my way to the UK for 3 years, ended up with junky old cars and a beat up britbike that only liked to run on sunny days!

faffi:
I used to dig the V65 Sabre, until I learned about their cam/valve lifter issues and their complex maintenance. Even worse was the immense weight and far from great handling. The torque from the engine, though, can be addictive - and lead to fines.
