    I had two K1100lt’s with some time in between them. Done my iron butt on one. Still have a couple of beemers in my shed but this bike has been so long on the waiting list that this coming season o want to have it in my garage. Both k1100 and the st1100 hold their own but k1100 always seemed a bit too busy at the travelling pace in a way waiting to be whipped. The st is much longer legged and feels much more relaxed at cruising speeds. This in essence is something i am expecting of a touring bike that takes me places. After 40odd bikes all o need is chill and returning home. Best regards from Poland 🇵🇱

    • @RetiredtoRideSpain

      @ I find the weight disappears as soon as the bike is moving, but pushing it around from a standstill it’s heavy and awkward, but the K1100 was more or less the same to manoeuvre around from a standstill. The ST1100 carry’s it’s weight well in the bends as the low centre of gravity makes it less top heavy feeling than the K1100, that’s my experience anyway.

    I live in Colorado USA and have a 2010 NT700v.Same exact bike although the lids on your saddle bags look much wider than on mine.Great bike but i would not take it on a long tour.Its great on the 200,300 mile rides on the local twisties but on the freeway it gets old after an hour or two.Needs a sixth gear in my opinion.I bought an ST1300 which is better suited to long hiway speeds hour after hour but not near the lighter better handling NT700V.The NT is so much more fun to ride because its much liter.

It works well as the base can be adhered to flat surfaces , as you can see I placed it above the clocks and below the screen. To use a handlebar mounting would necessitate removing the handlebar shroud. That’s why I use the SP mount. Next to the mount I installed a Phone charger , (bought cheaply online), it is wired to the bike battery and has an on/off switch. I hope this information is of use to you 🤓👍

      @ A friend had the Deuville. He loved it but hardly rode it. He hinted at selling it , and I was tempted for the extra power and storage. What made the difference was all the plastic making , in my mind, access difficult. I never needed to, but I’m old fashioned, and I think I needed a naked bike. The seat height and shaft drive and low rpm thump appealed to me. I used to strap saddle bags over the rear seat, a tent on top, and I tank bag, and off I went. Speed wasn’t important to me, but agility/manoeuvrability when exploring was.

    Yay! 1st! An excellent review of a splendid bike Mr Jon. I rode a Pan European for AA/Vodafone Road Watch giving traffic reports on the radio for a year, although it was the 1300cc version. I did around 25,000 miles and it didn't miss a beat, she started first time in all weathers and was very, very comfortable. I have done some sums on your stated 5 -7 l per 100km (because that means nothing to my small brain) and that averages out at 47 miles to the gallon, (an easier measurement to understand, I think) and that's an extremely respectable figure with full luggage and two up, and that'll give you a tank range* of around 280 miles. You will not get those figures if you ride like a fool, so a great testament to your riding ability and respect for a pillion. For those that were thinking...

      I owned an ST1300 for nine years after buying it new in 2012. I loved it both as a touring bike and a bike to ride for the fun of it. In my ownership it never averaged less than 50 mpg and usually managed nearer 55. Occasionally I would get 57/58. In all the time I owned it I got it serviced as required and replaced the tyres and brake pads as required. Nothing ever went wrong or needed replacing. I traded it in when I moved to live in France because it wasn’t suited to the D roads that I use when travelling around and to be honest it was too fast, every time I overtook something I entered licence losing territory. My current Honda, a 500X is just as much fun despite having about one third of the power and my annual mileage has doubled.
