| has anyone had any handling problems?bought sabre new and theres either something wrong or this is the worst handling bike ever made. wants to follow every deviation in road ..wears you out trying to run in a straight line. took it back to dealer once said theres nothing wrong. going back to another dealer tomorrow. i'd love the bike except for this one problem. shoulda named it drifter. any comments appreciated. i'm giving honda 2 more chances to get it right then i'm getting a lawyer. i'm 6'1 225lbs.been riding since 11yrs. old turning 50 soon . never road a bike that does this.. THx

| | I have 2000 miles on my '05 Sabre. I had a 750 Shadoe prior. My Sabre handles great, and I've never heard anyone else w/your complaint. I would get a good rider/mechanic that you trust to test ride your bike. Good luck. |

| Its the Dunlops. Switch to Metzlers and
you will notice a big improvement.

| I have a 2005 and have had no handling problems. This is also my first bike and love it. The note about the tire being on backwards sounds interesting. Good luck.

| Dan is right. It's the Dunlops. Just put Metzler 880's on my 2002 Sabre. Rides like a different bike. DO IT!!! You won't regret it.
