Answer 1

I didn't like the '84 V45 I test drove; the V65 handled much better but that is just my opinion; you did not say what he was asking for it and like someone said there tends to be a low spot in the 2nd gear.  I would not give a whole lot for a V45 even clean.

Answer 2

We really need to know the asking price to answer this.

The V45 and V65 had second gear problems in the transmission. You are probably safe as this was mostly a V65 problem as they are real hot rods.

These are good dependable bikes and it will run a very long time past 15K miles.

If it were me I would ask him if the transmission has been updated and when he says no lowball him.

Or buy a V65:)

Answer 3

Need more information to say. V45 what, Honda? If it's a Honda,might want to check the year to see if it's a V45 or a 700. (The V45 is a 750). How much does he want?
