Hi to all, I've been reading the forum for about 3 days now and decided to finally jump right in.  I'm seriously considering within about a week picking up a black 109.  I currently ride a '84 model V-65 Sabre.  I am wondering if any of you guys have had any experience on a V-65 and could compare the performance of the two.  I have always owned 4-cylinder bikes and I have longed for a affordable bad-ass cruiser that had the performance to boot.  I think that the 109 has fit the bill.  Oh yea, my local dealer has the 109 for 10,900.

don't wait. if you do, it may dissappear. that's a great deal.

i've never ridden a v-65, but i can promise you that you'll love this bike, as long as you aren't 5'2" 110 lbs.

Buy it. You will not regret it. It's a great price too.

I had a V 65 Magna,the only bike that ever scared me.116 pony's and 500 pounds = fun. I grew up with 305 scramblers and 115 mph was top's.That V 65 would do every bit of the 160,and the1/4 was in the 10's. I sold it to get a 1100 shadow,my friends warned me,never go from a 4 to a 2.I got the Valkyrie next,that satisifed the need,but a V65 would spank it.I will let you know tomorrow,I get the bad boy.

I think I'm going to keep my v-65 just to play on every once in a while, but I pick up my black 109 this afternoon.  I'm so excited I don't know how long I can force myself to stay at work!   Thanks for the great site Lamont.  If any of you guys are around the Paducah, KY area let me know and maybe we can ride sometime.
