When I was in high school and didn't know a damned thing about bikes I thought they were cool - V4 in a cruiser = crazy power and lower insurance, right? hurrrrrr

I've had two friends who owned and enjoyed them but said they were a bitch to work on.

Magnas and Sabers V45 and V65 suffer from cam lubrication issues; lobes and journals (IIRC). It's not too terrible to fix the oiling issue, but if the POS PO never addressed it you'll have to source parts for a bike that's been out of production since the 80's.

Tuned well and jetted properly with an aftermarket full pipe you'll see 105 HP on the dyno on the V65's. I miss my old Sabre.

Father-in-law has one with a two-up seat and all the farkles. He likes it a lot, but it is 100% a "I can't have a Goldwing, those are for old people!" bike.

Not sure how to answer that, it kind of came with the 2010 f150 I bought. I paid 5500 Canadian for the truck and bike. Came with painted reproduction fairings, ring sets and a gasket set.

Funny enough I was the one that pulled it apart when it came through the shop, found a bunch of metal hiding in the filters and ~300ml of oil in the engine. The customer didnt want anything more to do with it, just bought a 1290 instead. Probably crank and bearings where the metal came from. I'm going to do a set of rockers, complete top end, fork seals, chain / sprockets, rear brake rotor and pads. I have a set of pretty much new tires to throw on it and put that bitch up for sale.

The bike is covered with the filthy icons of cancerous smoke culture. 100 bucks for me to take it away before you start chemo.

I have an unhealthy obsession with motorcycles.

Proof

Can confirm. I had a 96 purple and yellow F3 (not smokin joe) and it was such a good bike.
$3000 might be a touch too much though. I paid $1800 for mine with about that many miles on it. It wasn't running but all it needed was a carb clean. Eventually all of the seals in the fuel pump started to go but that was right before I wrecked it anyway.

I like the chromed expanded metal floorboards, and the carriage looks very professional. I would have went with a larger front and some braking up there even if it was proportioned down.

Seems over-priced for a track 250.

Edit: Ha the frame is bent. That can't be worth more than $1,000 and even then it's not like it has a bunch of goodies.
