i regularly rode a co-workers V65 Magna when it was new in 83. i know how they ride.
the Saber uses the same frame as the interceptor. the motor has rubber mounts and the interceptor motor was solid mounted.
i owned several used interceptors when they were sold new, 2-750's and 1-1100.

i have a friend who has restored a few DT 400's. i have been doing all the paint work for him. i got the riding itch again so i have been somewhat actively looking for one for several months now.. i was looking for something to fix up a bit and sell.

i casually know the seller of the bike. i have talked with him several times when i was visiting my relative.
supposedly i was the first person they called when he decided he couldn't ride anymore. he probably asked his friends first, talked to my relative, my relative mentioned my name so he contacted me. the seller said 2nd gear was just fine. i guess i will find out soon enough.

i always wanted to own one. i was going to buy this exact bike new in 85, instead i got a great deal on a slightly damaged Suzuki 84 GSX1150F so i bought that instead

my plans are to ride it lightly this summer. do a cosmetic resto and complete repaint on it and sell next riding season.


i am looking for a good forum on these bikes. i found a active one a few months ago . after a quick search i couldn't find it again.
i did find V4 muscle bike forum. it covers these bikes along with the V max bikes. it doesn't seem that active. i guess i will keep looking tonight.
