Overview
The Honda VT 1300CS Sabre is a cruiser from the VT family, produced for 2010. Its 1,312 cm³ engine delivers 123 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, and the motorcycle has a wet weight of 301 kg.
The torque arrives at low engine speed, making strong pull available without revving hard. Shaft final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust, while the 683 mm seat height places the rider low; at 301 kg, the bike will take effort to maneuver at walking pace. Its 16.7 L fuel tank sets the amount of fuel carried between stops.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong low-rpm torque
The 123 Nm peak at 3,000 rpm gives the engine substantial pull at everyday engine speeds.
Low seat
At 683 mm, the seat keeps the rider close to the ground when stopped.
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive avoids routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
Its 301 kg wet weight can make tight turns and parking maneuvers demanding.
