Yep, I would still be real hesitant on the V45 . There's one (a
Sabre) down here in PA that's done 30 something thousand miles I
looked at a few weeks ago. It ran, needed a couple of things like a
turn signal flasher which he took and put on the Nighthawk I bought
from him. He wanted $200 for the V45 and $300 for the Nighthawk ('84
650). I bought the Nighthawk which needs more work but I'm more
familiar with the inline fours, Graham

83 V4 engines were notorious for having top end oiling issues, and
they would smear their camshafts. On the interceptors they actually
added an external oil line to mitigate the problem. Most sabmag or
magsab owners (that's what they call themselves, google it) do some
sort of oil mod. If that bike doesn't have one then it probably
needs new cams. Ask the guy what oil mod was done and if he doesn't
know then I'd keep looking. A nighthawk would be the more reliable
bike anyway.

1st off, thanks to all who wrote me on my last post. The Nighthawk
750, or the guy who's selling it never called me back. So, I'll take a
look at the V45. It has 44,585 miles on it. The valves have been
adjusted and the tensioners verified. Carbs have been completely
rebuilt with new rubber intakes. Newly painted this year with new
forward foot controls it looks like a new bike. I will of course check
why the repaint. He has all the documentation on this. What do you
guys/gals think of it? Once again I'll mention I know zip about these
bikes. Forward foot controls is what I got used to on the Sporty.
Thanks again.
