HONDAVT1300CS Sabre ABS 2011 - 2012

　　In addition to the standard 2012 VT1300CS Sabre model, the Japanese motorcycle maker released another version that included an additional Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), which added a touch of safety by preventing wheels from locking under hard braking or various road conditions.

　　Like the standard model, the ABS version featured the same power, technical and visual specifications without any changes. The bike's engine delivered strong acceleration and lots of torque, which was better handled by the ABS braking system.

　　Compared to the Chopper-styled Fury machine that packed a similar appearance with choppers made by Paul Teutul or Arlen Ness, the Sabre offered a less extreme seating position with a lower steering head and a lower narrower handlebar, resulting in a reasonably typical cruiser design.

　　The 2012 Honda Sabre ABS was fitted from the factory with five-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels that packed a 336 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a 296 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear that handled the bike's stopping power.

　　With a 33 degrees rake angle, the 45 mm telescopic acted as a front suspension, while a single hidden shock absorber with spring-preload adjustability handled the rest on the rear wheel.

　　In the power department, the 1,312cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine was mounted in the center of a double cradle steel frame and delivered an output power of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 3,000 rpm.
