Those bikes have little resale value, even the bigger V65 Sabres are considered the "red headed stepchildren" of the V4 world. Nice examples all over for $1500 or below.
Eess gone already bro!

Nice. And near my home base too.
Recently picked up a Texas Sidecar hack and bought a GL1000 as a tug. Oh well, can't get 'em all.
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.
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.
I think some of the baby Interceptors were clear of such woes, and man, can those little buggers hustle on a back road, even today.
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.
