2012 Honda Sabre VT1300CSABS
The 2011 Honda Sabre VT1300CSABS is the natural upgrade from the original Sabre, created for those riders preoccupied to have the latest technology in braking assistance by their side, all the times. The upgraded Sabre is even better than the usual ABS-laden motorcycle, as it also boasts Honda's combined braking system, intelligently distributing stopping force between the wheels.
As for the 2011 Honda Sabre VT1300CSABS itself, the ABS version retains the full character of the base model: a bike with a bold custom design, easy to place in the Pro Street class. Sleek and mean, this bike can turn an awful lot of heads, especially as it is an exceptional platform for more custom work.
