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.
- New muscular pro-street styling with a raked-out front end for an aggressive stance and stylized curved frame downtube create a unique custom look.
- New bars are low, narrow and set forward for an aggressive pro-street riding position.
- Minimalist front and rear fenders plus a sleek one-piece seat enhance the Sabre’s bold design.
- Specially designed tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer.
- 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising. Unique dual exhaust offers throaty exhaust note.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) incorporates a single 38mm-diameter throttle body.
- Slim radiator mounts unobtrusively to accent the Sabre’s clean lines.
