The Honda Shadow Sabre (VT1100C2) refers to a cruiser-type motorcycle, that is part of the larger family of Honda Shadow. It was introduced in 2000 replacing the earlier Shadow A.C.E. It was retired after the year 2007. The Sabre name is being used again in the new 2010 Honda 1300 custom line.[4]
The Shadow Sabre was, at its introduction, the "hot rod" of Honda's cruiser line. As such, it has lower gearing than other 1100cc Shadows, for a stronger punch off the line, while retaining exactly the same (dual pin crank) engine as the others. The majority of the Sabres in the United States were made in Marysville Motorcycle Plant, Ohio.[citation needed]
