so i saw the sabre today and loved it, a great bike. im going to want to probably get rid of the wind shield and change out the handle bars so i lean a bit more forward, but overall it is wonderful, and much more grown up than my hawk cb400t
only problem is that there have been some problems with the upper two cylinders not firing, and the seller thought he had it fixed, but it went bad again, seems to be a bad electrical connection, or a short somewhere. well the seller is familiar with the bike, and is an electrician, so he is going to fix the problem, and then ill probably take the bike off his hands!
this is really exciting, and im definetly gonna take it slow. this bike is new to me in a lot of ways, the power, the shaft drive, the weight, the wheelbase..

on a side note.. how hard is it to switch out handle bars on a bike?
