Recently picked up a Texas Sidecar hack and bought a GL1000 as a tug. Oh well, can't get 'em all.

One of the V4 750 Hondas of about that time had a dreadful reputation for chocolate camshafts.---- Dave
79 GS850N - Might be a trike soon.
80 GS850T Single HIF38 S.U. SH775, Tow bar, Pantera II. Gnarly workhorse & daily driver.
79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.

I know the VF500 had all manner of mechanical woes (though I still think it's a fantastic little machine), and I think the first iteration of the 750 in the Interceptors and Magnas had some problems. I don't know that it hit the Sabres, but it may well have done."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

I followed a VF500 on ebay this week, cool bike. I think I read about the cam problems too. But this one had 43,000 mi."Only fe' collected the old way, has any value." from His Majesty O'Keefe (1954 film)

By this time, the vast majority of them have either broken terminally or been fixed (there was a recall at the time, after much hassle), but even within the last year or two I've read of low mileage examples that were still running ok, but had slipped through the net and were on their OE cams, so it pays to be wary, still.---- Dave
