Iam 6 ft,250 lbs. I traded in a 2006 VTX1300R for my 07 Sabre. I like the looks, handling, low maintenance, and all chrome on the bike is metal except headlight and other minor pieces. The ergonomics are perfect for my body type. Sit on the bike. How does it feel? Power is ok. Less than 1200 Sportster, but it is a blast to ride. Gear spacing is great, but I wish it had a 6th gear. Gas mileage is so-so: 40-45 mpg. Has 2 carbs. Makes it a little more expensive to pipe & jet. Engine makes ticking noise after it warms up (and the oil gets thin???). Look at the bike you are going to buy with a magnifying glass and ride it if the dealer/owner will let you. Check brakes, turn signal alignment, engine noise, and everything you can think of. I found that Honda will not fix these things after they have your money.
