2011 Honda VT1300 CSA Sabre

Choose your trim:
A cruiser with a laid-back look and a hot-rod heart. That's what the Honda VT1300CSA Sabre is all about. Twist the throttle, and revel in the deep, rich sound from the big 1,312 cc V-twin engine. It's music to a motorhead's ears. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), three-valve cylinder heads, liquid cooling, and a tuned dual exhaust system help to give the Sabre its muscle, while an innovative dual-axis primary counterbalancing system helps to quell engine vibration while still letting you feel those big power pulses at work. A high-performance engine needs a high-performance chassis, so the Sabre boasts a narrow 21-inch tire mounted on a minimalist five-spoke wheel for a unique drag-bike look and light steering, a low seat height and low overall centre of gravity for road-hugging stability, and a hidden rear suspension system that provides a hard-tail look without giving up rider comfort and handling control. Hop on a Honda VT1300CSA Sabre, then hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

S  1,312 cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end and midrange torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising.

S  Powerplant design features special camshafts and a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the engine's character.

S  Each three-valve cylinder head features two 31 mm intake valves and a large 40 mm exhaust valve to produce optimum flow for the incoming air/fuel charge.

S  Simple-to-service screw-and-locknut valve-clearance adjusters.

S  Programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) contributes to strong engine performance and low emissions.

S  Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability and efficiency.

S  Two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion at all engine speeds.

S  A unique dry-sump oil system utilizes a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case. The result is a freer-revving engine for improved power and a lower engine height.

S  Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for exciting roll-on performance.

S  The compact radiator is tucked neatly between the frame's front downtubes for a clean look without hampering cooling performance.

S  To maintain the remarkably uncluttered look between the front cylinder and the front downtube/radiator area, the top radiator hose is hidden away beneath the front valve cover.

S  Automatic cam-chain tensioners reduce maintenance requirements.

S  Reliable electric-starter system.
