2010 Honda VT1300CS Sabre

Bad to the bone.

Sometimes you just want to wear your aggression on your sleeve, and that’s why the new Sabre is ready to do your talking for you. The Sabre’s muscular pro-street style provides a classic ride, with ergonomics to match. Add an impressive 1300cc V-twin engine complete with Honda’s sophisticated Programmed Fuel Injection, and you’ll be rolling down the meanest streets with a bike that’s as tough as it looks: the 2010 Sabre. Also available with Anti Lock Braking, the Sabre comes in Black and Candy Red. In dealerships March 2010.

What happens when you take the wicked, stripped-down styling cues of our Fury chopper and throw in a large dose of pro-street dragster? Well, you’re looking at it: the all-new Honda Sabre. And trust us, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Start with the beefy, Fury-derived 1312cc liquid-cooled, 52º V-twin, featuring Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) and performance as muscular as it is seamless. Smooth, maintenance-free shaft final drive merely makes it that much better. And then, of course, there’s the look—short, sporty fenders, all-black frame, and a raked-out fork that screams, “You want some of this?”

Make room, Main Street. The all-new Honda Sabre is here.

V-twin Virtuoso.
A powerful 1312cc, 52º V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft beats at the heart of the new Sabre, pumping out heaps of torque, all with that inimitable V-twin sound and feel.

Long, Low, Lean and Mean.
Raked-out front end. Asphalt-skimming saddle. Fat rear tire. Looooong wheelbase. In other words, Pro Street styling from tip to tail.
