2013 Honda VT1300CSA Sabre ABS[edit | edit source]
Honda has started a very good tradition of offering ABS versions for their cruisers, thus offering riders with a more prominent safety concern this choice, while not asking others to pay extra for features they might not necessarily want. However, the 2012 VT1300CSA Sabre ABS now packs a more dependable stopping power, which is always a good addition to the single front rotor design.
With a shorter stopping distance and enhanced stability when braking on slippery surfaces, the VT1300CSA Sabre ABS is a safer machine, retaining the high-class pro-street looks and the head-turning factor. The skinny front wheel and the raked-out forks are a nifty complement for the ample bars, arched tank and low, custom-look seat.
2014 Honda VT1300CSA Sabre ABS[edit | edit source]
VT1300CSA is the codename for the ABS-equipped Sabre, with the 2013 iteration carrying on Honda's exceptional pro-street recipe. A wicked bike by looks and a presence which will cause a avalanche of sighs, the Sabre is a low, long and mean aggressive dragster with refined, custom looks and series pricing.
The Sabre ABS is based on the successful 1312cc v-twin engine, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and sending power to the ground by means of a hassle- and maintenance-free shaft drive.
