Went through the gears like I did on the KZ550, looked down and I was doing 90. Incredible motor. PITA to work on the valves though. The Sabre with the sport fairing was uber sexy. Loved the sound. It was basically a four cylinder twin.
Saw one of these on sale on Phoenix Craigslist a few weeks ago. It had the OEM Fairing and OEM side bags. Apparently, it had been stored for the past 25 years, was low mileage and fixed up to ride (i.e. carbs, rubber). I was sorely tempted to pick it up. Then I remembered my vow to quit buying 30 year old bikes, so I could spend more time riding than wrenching.
