yah the sabre is about the worst modder bike, shaft drive, lots of CC, 4 cylinders, carbs, frontal area (with big windscreen, nice if it rains) kinda heavy, sprag clutch makes strange bumpstarting, etc. etc.
Maybe it will be out of my system for a while by the time it craps out, if it does. Still it is a far more economical hot rod than any 10 second 4 wheeler at $1700 and 40ish mpg, and the GF seems to like it.
Might be an EV conversion if the motor (gaskets/cams/???) crap out, or might just walk away from it.
