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.
In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre, a cruiser-type motorcycle part of the Shadow family in Honda's range that came in the same package as its predecessor but with changes in graphics and colors.
The bike offered 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.
As for power, the 2004 Honda VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre had its soul brought to life by 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.
