Shadow VT1100 Sabre

This has been a great riding bike! Previously owned a 750 version which was too small. I am a good size guy and the VT1100 fits very nice, easy to handle and a smmoth runner. The bike may be a little under powered if you are more than 250 lbs. No issues with mechanical problems, just repolaced t...ires and brakes after 10,000 miles of easy riding. Read Full Review

Nicest Bike I've Owned Since 1971

Smooth with low,relaxed seating position. Enough power to cruise any highway all day. Not designed or powered for drag racing. Only minor complaint is the size of the fuel tank. I would like better range between gas stations. Read Full Review

The Sabre for All

As an avid Honda rider for years and years I must say I have owned them all. From the Honda Trail 70, Honda XR75, Honda SL100, Honda 250 Elsinore, Honda 754 Supersport to the Honda 1100 V-Twin Sabre. I cannot complain about any of them.



The Sabre is a very nice riding bike, plenty of style and f...lash and a get up and go V-Twin that is beaten by few. I ride mine all over the USA. I now have 16,000 miles on my Sabre, it looks brand new and rides and runs even better. Enjoy one of Hondas many success bikes, you wont be disappointed. Read Full Review

Good but not Great

I purchased this bike as an upgrade from a 1984 Honda Magna. I like the overall performance of the bike, however there are a few bells and whistles that is is missing. A low fuel light, tachometer, and center stand. All of which my 1984 had and now I miss. I would have thought technology would h...ave increased not decreased. I guess you get what you pay for. I still love the honda performance and I will always be a big fan of the shaft drive. Add some custom pipes and you are set. Read Full Review

A little heavy and underpowered

Hi, I use to ride a Shadow VT1100 C 1990, for 11 years and now I replaced for this Sabre. Both are a little underpowered and with low final speed. I think with a 1100 VT motor you can deliver more power and final speed. Another thing is the Alternator is too short in their capacity. The fuel tank co...uld be bigger till 17 litres. And the rear dampers are too hard, they could be softer. It coud be a cool improvement to relocate better the passenger pegs for better long distance riding confort.
As pros, it has good stability and easy to handle. Read Full Review
