In foil and sabre, despite the presence of all the gadgetry, it is still the referee's job to analyse the phrase and, in the case of simultaneous hits, to determine which fencer had the right of way.

 MD Ride Review: 2000 Honda Shadow Sabre
This bike is one of the first machines introduced by Honda as part of their pledge of "industry dominance" -- introduced just prior to the announcement of Honda's "performance first" theme for the new millenium.
Honda's literature claims the Sabre is intended to provide "broad-band performance" providing "the full scope of the motorcycling experience".
With three valves per cylinder, two spark plugs per cylinder, rubber mounting and off-set dual-pin crankshaft, combined with the light weight of the machine and a lower final-drive gear ratio, the Sabre is surprisingly smooth and quick.
