Honda Sabre Switchblade Pro Drag Concept






Three young designers from Honda Reseach & Development Americas located in Southern California were given the task to build custom bikes based on the Fury, Stateline & Sabre. The designer of the Switchblade had to stay within a limited budget, but that didn’t stop him from creating a truly amazing pro-drag concept.

Here's what Honda have to say about the 2010 Sabre “Switchblade” (Pro Drag):

“Taking the 2010 Sabre, designer Edward Birtulescu (Honda R&D Americas) conceived Switchblade. A racing inspired cruiser that took styling cues from Formula1 and MotoGP. With one look you know that Switchblade is fully committed to precision and performance. Full Carbon fiber dress, racing 3 way adjustable suspension and a single sided swing arm with a 535 chain conversion optimize the single focus of this design, speed. Switchblade has a mass centralized proportion to reinforce this super sport assault.”
