Honda V45 Sabre Motorcycle - Street (1982-1983)

The Honda V45 Sabre, officially known as the VF750S, was produced from 1982 to 1983. This model was a key part of Honda's innovative V4 engine lineup, positioned as a "standard" or "street style" motorcycle. It featured a liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-four cylinder, DOHC engine with a displacement of 748 cc. In 1982, the engine produced 82 horsepower, which saw a slight increase to 86 horsepower in 1983. The V45 Sabre was offered as a single model, the VF750S, without distinct trim levels. Optional accessories like a Hondaline fairing were available but did not constitute separate trims. While there wasn't a full generation change, Honda implemented several refinements between 1982 and 1983. Notably, the engine's output increased from 82 hp to 86 hp. The 1982 models were known for camshaft wear issues, which Honda addressed with revised adjustment procedures and an improved cylinder head design for 1983, featuring reduced cam-to-bearing clearance. The seat design also differed, with 1982-83 models having a pleated and softer seat. The significant engine displacement reduction to 698 cc occurred in 1984 and is not relevant to this 1982-1983 range. FAQ:
