The Sabre is the pro-street member of Honda's 1312 cc VT1300C family, sharing the Fury's fuel-injected 52-degree V-twin and shaft drive but with a 21-inch front wheel, a low narrow drag-style handlebar, minimal fenders and a one-piece seat. It aimed at riders who wanted a long, raked custom look with a more conventional riding position than the Fury chopper. For 2012 the Sabre continued mechanically unchanged, with the ABS model still available alongside the standard bike.
