Ahh, yes.  Back when high-performance bikes didn't require curling up into a
fetal position on top of egg-shaped bodywork.  The V-Max was another one,
and it still beats the bejeezus out of all the other "power" cruisers out
there.

This one:

is the current Sabre model that I'm looking at getting.  Maybe.  If my wife
lets me.  This is gonna require lots of jewelery :)

There's also the Volusia

I like this frame/body style a little better, but at 800cc it's a little
underpowered for my weight.

A friend has an alarm on his bike that has a little pager.  Whenever someone
touches his bike, his pager goes off and he goes running.  It's a pretty
cool little unit.
