2012 Honda Motorcycle
One glance at the 2012 Honda Sabre and it’s easy to see aggressive styling was the direct approach of the designers.
But although muscular, the Sabre’s pro-street styling doesn’t mean hard-on-the-body ergonomics; the Sabre was designed to provide a classical feel paired with comfortable ergos.
Regarding the VT1300 CS’s monster 1312 liquid-cooled, 52-degree twin, Honda says: “add an impressive 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 2012 Sabre.”
For 2012, the Honda Sabre is only available in one color: Ultra Blue Metallic.
