The Honda Sabre was a motorcycle made by Honda from 1982 to 1985. Two years of the Sabre production run were part of a group of Japanese motorcycles that came to be known as "tariff-busters". The 1984 and 1985 models fell in this class because of the modifications made allowing those models to circumvent the newly passed United States International Trade Commission tariff that placed a heavy tax on import/foreign motorcycles with 700cc or larger engine displacement.[1]
Sabre models and their marketing names were:[2]
- VF750S – V45 Sabre (1982–1983)
- VF700S – 700 Sabre (1984)
- VF700S – Sabre (1985)
- VF1100S – V65 Sabre (1984–1985)
