Built around Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 Honda Sabre ABS relies on a 1312 cc (80.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 89.5 x 104.3 mm (3.5 x 4.1 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Sabre ABS measures 305 kg (672 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 683 mm (26.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,778 mm (70 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 16.65-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
