I have a 2001 sabre. 3rd and hopefully last bike. Had it over 10 years. Im 47 n im gonna ride it til one of us is dead.

I think you and I both lucked into a great first bike. Got it out today and enjoyed every moment.

Wow same here man. 1100 spirit in red 🍒. Great first bike as long as you have common sense.

Damn my first bike was also a 04 1100 sabre in red , had it for about a year now and I couldn't be happier... Still haven't dropped I'm just waiting on that day

@@yoogityyeet I did drop mine once. It was very cliche...slow u turn and had the clutch fully pulled in. Classic rookie mistake.

@@mongoardath1 not as bad as one of my friends , he's owned two bikes . Dropped them both getting off of them to get gas 😂😂

It’s an awesome bike! 👍

Yah it’s definitely a great bike! Reliable, low maintenance and enough power to keep things interesting. Safe riding! 🤜🤛

Depends on ur common sense and how big you are

Awesome, you are gonna love the 1100! Pretty bullet proof bike! That should feel like a bit of an upgrade from the 750! Sweet! 👍

Awesome deal! The Sabre is a great bike!

I know it is nice I’m tempted to put a mustang seat with a driver backrest but it’s expensive. I might make something instead. This bike handles great too.

Wow that’s a great deal! Can’t wait for summer it can’t come soon enough! 👍🇨🇦

That’s awesome! 😎 What kind of bike do you have now?

@@CruisersCorner shadow saber

Hey man, would you say this bike is pretty big? I’m 5’9 at 190 lbs. looking into it as a first bike

@@sam.abadyah I'm 6'2@300lbs and very happy with this bike as my 1st. It's has good power and handles great. I think this was the perfect bike for me to learn how to ride on. I've put over 7k miles on this bike since April if that's any indication of how much I love riding it. Just put new tires on it last week which made to handing just that much better. I just got home from a 120 ride thru to Ozarks and the bike had no problem pulling my heavy butt up the hills. I much as I love this bike I'll look for something with a little more power in the future, just my personal preference.

Awesome! Yah it’s cold here already counting down the days till summer! Do you have a windshield or hearted grips?

@@CruisersCorner picking up both shield and grips this winter, nicer seat and bars too. Soon as spring comes to southern Ontario the GreenWing will be ready to tour

I know. I noticed after putting synthetic in mine last year when I hit it hard the clutch slipped and took a second to catch up. But only when i punch it. Going back to regular after this winter. Hopefully it'll go back to the way it was.

Just did a lucas partial synthetic oil change on my 03 and noticed a little more clunky shifting. Only got about 20 miles on it cause a week of rain moved in. Thanks for the heads up. I'll post back when I get a few more miles.

Oil has to be jasoma2 certified for wet clutches

Solid bike! What do you guys think of em? Love my shadow Sabre I think it looks classier than most bikes.

@@CruisersCorner Great cruiser bikes, just not designed for travel through the neighborhood. Seems like the motor is over powering the first gear.

I got one as my first bike, honestly, the weight was scary but after riding for about a month(carefully) I mustered up the courage to practice more low-speed maneuvers and that helped me a ton with getting used to the weight. Now I think of it as a pretty good handling bike

All new riders are different some could get away with the 1100, but some riders would appreciate the control of a 750 or even smaller bike. Depending on the person.

Thats a lot of power for a new rider. I consider it a little top heavy as well. Just saying.

It’s was a great 1st bike for me… it stop felling heavy after 20-30 miles of riding … 3 months of riding and I actually want more a more powerful bike, but If I am honest with myself, The bike is still fast enough, with my added skill experience it still excites me

Thanks for the heads up about the name glad u clicked on it anyway.

The aero is a hot bike for-sure! What do you like better about the Honda? I know that Honda has unbeatable reliability. I wish they made a fuel injected model…

@@CruisersCorner the only thing the harley had more was power otherwise the honda is better at everything else

I love the gears actually the wide ratio is just right the 5 speed is perfect do you agree? I put 700km this past week now I want a saddle man seat! 👍

@@CruisersCorner I wish it had 6th for the highway. I like to do 90. Seems a 6 would be good for that. Ive had her up to 110 with more throttle left. Awesome machines

I call mine my Hardley lol!

@@Bricklinsv1970 lmao right on👍

Really? I am able to pull 45MPG out of mine at 70MPH and make it 120-140 miles before I hit the reserve tank. Costs me like $15 to make a trip that would cost me $40 in my diesel pickup. If I take it easy down back roads at 50MPH and refrain from winding it out I can easily grab 52MPG out of it which is pretty good for an 1100cc bike.

and you have the sabre edition shadow?@@Ciulster I for one know that it was geared too low for long highway use. You can hear it. The RPM at 70 to 75 are just too high.

​@@poorasslawstudentYes my bike is the Sabre edition, and while it is definitely geared lower than the Aero or Spirit bikes and you can hear it working at that speed I still find it takes it like a champ. Without baffles in the pipes it's definitely too loud since it's not just chugging along like a higher geared cruiser would, baffle-less straight pipes on highway are a no for me. I also run the colder heat range spark plugs as per Honda's recommendation for high speed riding as most of my riding is 40+minutes of 50+ MPH riding. Admittedly I sometimes ride at 90MPH for good chunks and the bike loves it. My only constraint for long distance riding is comfort, as I am tall and find the bike a bit cramped to ride for longer than an hour or so. For a big V twin it certainly likes to rev out and go through corners a little too much. 😅 If you are worried about the bike working too hard you must be coming from a different brand mindset. I've owned over 5 Honda motorcycles and they are the hardest working motorcycles out there, and some of them should not be alive anymore... But they crank over and run like new still. Guys who actually worry about working the bike too hard will probably have the bike outlive them lol.

Everything should be available online.

It’s a great bike and goes great on the highway! 👍I’d say go for it!

I live seen quite a few with close to 100,000 miles still for sale at a decent price. Low Maintenance is one of the good things with this bike!

@@CruisersCorner I'm about to change the oil, filter, shaft oil and spark plugs (cause it's just so simple on this bike) but I was hearing they are dead reliable! I'm hoping to get a lot of good miles on with my wife cruising around Michigan 💯💯

@@fraghead9813 You'll love it! Congrats on getting the shadow!

The guy who makes the back rest actually stopped making them. I’m on the lookout for some other options. 👍

@@CruisersCorner Thanks. I know who you're talking about when I was searching for one. If I remember right he retired. He's the only one I found that made them.
