In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre, a cruiser-type motorcycle part of the Shadow line in Honda's range, known for its classic cruiser styling, comfortable ride, and reliable performance.

The Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre was a larger cruiser-type motorcycle in Honda's Shadow line of machines, which debuted in 2000 as a replacement to the Shadow ACE model and retired after 2007, while the Sabre name was again used for the 2010 Honda VT1300C custom series.

The 2003 machine delivered class-leading, low-end, and mid-range power with excellent acceleration, topped by street-rod styling with chromed fork-leg covers, deeply valanced fenders, and machined cast aluminum wheels with a satin finish.

In addition, the machine came equipped with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat with a low seating position, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, bullet-styled turn signals, a chromed exhaust system, a chrome-finished engine, and cast aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm telescopic fork with 160 mm of wheel travel on the front and five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear with 100 mm of wheel travel.

In the braking department, the bike packed a single 315 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single 276 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered optimum braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 2003 Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre had its muscles from a 1,099cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 67 hp at 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm (67 lb-ft) of torque at 2,700 rpm.
