Both Clymer and Haynes printed comprehensive guides to the Honda Sabre. I have generally had better experience with the Clymer over Haynes manuals for motorcycles (though I flip the other way when it comes to automobile guides), but I have examples of both in shop manual collection. You can check out the Clymer guide at:

The Haynes guide can be seen at:

Used copies of these manuals can be found for dramatically less money on half.com and eBay, if not even from other online booksellers. You shouldn't expect to pay full retail price for one of these.
You'll have a harder time finding the original owner's manual that came with your Sabre. A number of bike recyclers keep stocks of old manuals for sale, but many of these are lost or discarded by their owners long before a bike ever reaches a scrapyard. I don't get a lot of information out of the basic owner's manuals, so I don't consider their loss a big problem.
As a final thought, if you go to your Honda dealer, you can purchase the official Honda shop manual for this bike. It will be expensive, and it may only be available on microfiche at this point (some are now available on CD-ROM), but that will give you access to the same documentation that official Honda techs use at the dealerships.
