I picked this bike up for cheap as a non runner the other day. Hope to get it running soon. My v45 sabre started knocking so this is its replacement. Odometer says 5k, don't know how if it's the original but it is in good shape

It definitely looks clean enough to be actual mileage.  I had the same color one as my first bike.   Enjoy.

Torque is LBs-FT Damn it.
Yeah that was me.    One of my rides

Wow! That looks to be in excellent cosmetic shape!  :thumb:
Hope the mechanicals are the same.
How much did it set you back?
Cheers and enjoy!

Say, that looks an awful lot like an 89E a 'twinner was selling here...  :wink:

Best of luck on the restoration!

Yup just searched the for sale section and it's the one that "chrisDowngraded" was selling. I payed $300 and a mosin nagant. Thanks for the kind words.

He recommended this site to me when I bought it. Going to clean the carbs tonight and see if she fires up

Cleaned the carbs. Replaced the fuel lines, put the airbox on(what a pain), threw a new battery in and it fired right up. :) happy camper here.

Good score. And well done getting it going.
I want those clip on's  :2guns:
No matter what i do to it, it's still a GS
It's not how fast your bike is, it's how long you are prepared to hold the throttle on.
