Very nice👍. Always a great looking bike when launched, a tread setter. Such a shame about the engine woes. Rumor was the number of warranty claims nearly bankrupt Honda, I don't know if that is true or just an urban myth? The really good news was without this bike Honda would not have developed the best road bike they ever made, the cam gear VFR750/800 range. Another rumor has it Honda lost money on every VFR ever made as it was so expensive to build but Honda couldn't afford another V4 disaster. Again, not sure if that is also an urban myth!
Lovely resto though, enjoy it👍

I've been riding Honda V4's since 1982 when the first ones came out. I got my V45 Sabre in May of 82' . I put 140k miles on it with no cam issues. My 84' Sabre 700 and the Interceptor have perfect cams. The Interceptor only has 14k miles on it but the Sabre has 31k miles on it. I know some people have had issues with the cam chain tensioner but it is easily fixable. The performance of the Honda V4 motors is awesome. 8)

I never had any cam trouble with my 2 VF500s or my VF1000FE. I think it was only the 750s which were effected.
