Well far be it from me to opine on the aesthetic beauty (or otherwise) of some bikes, but fark, that V65 is about as fugly as a bike could get! Now we weren't blessed with V65's in Oz, (but the VF750 and VF1000 of the same era were crap, and the engines lasted about as long as a disposable cigarette lighter) but that's probably a good thing, that CBX fairing sorts out the weird looking front end, but the unfaired standard V65 looks like it was designed in Russia, by a kidnapped Lego engineer!
Also, I'd suggest that the seller has taken some liberties with the truth when he says that thing was "The worlds fastest production bike in its time". By comparison, Yamaha's FJ1100 of the same year was 30 pounds lighter, had more BHP, and was a second quicker down the quarter mile. It also looks better, by around 10,000,000%.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that an FJ1100 is the ideal bike for Tug, and I know we're all Honda fans here, but there are plenty of bikes out there within Tug's budget that are both big and comfy, and reasonably attractive as well. The more I look at that V65 the more I feel guilty for putting #$%*e on Larry's golf cart......... Cheers, Terry.
