One thing that's worth a mention is that this bike is very short person friendly. The seat height has a very wide range of adjustments, and in particular the seat can be adjusted to a very low height. It's wheel base is shorter than other ST type bikes , making parking lot maneuvering very easy. There's a lot to like about the ST, and this coming from a Yamaha FJR rider.
Hi all my husband & I brought the st1300 new a couple years ago & we love it!!! If i had to criticise the bike it would be as a passenger i find it to be a little firm!! Have ridden a lll over NZ & took it to Aust for a year.
Love my ST1300. I've owned three (and one st1100). They were pricey when new but now you can get them used for very reasonable prices. For the money, I don't think there is a better tourer you can buy.
I bought a second hand one in Dec 2010 with 25,000ks on the clock. It has now done 83,000ks and never missed a beat. Smooth with plenty of power; quite and very comfortable. Also handles well considering it is 320kgs. Great having a 29 litre tank, so I don't even consider filling with petrol until I reach 500ks on the clock. Just had the valves checked at 82,000ks and all within tolerance; that's Honda for you. Only complaint is the screen; which should been better designed to reduce the wind noise. Looking forward to the Honda upgrade when it arrives....eventually.
I really like mine, 2007 had it since new with 42,000 miles on it. Have a water pump leak yet nothing serious. Just check the water level occasionally.
The best bike ever, the stronger engine ever,the softest gearbox, the bike which can make 300.000miles and after with new pistons& rings,camchains make another 300.000miles. Thanks Japan.
Had one before an FJR 1300 & now ride GTR1400, the St is a bit dated now but a superb motorcycle, top quality,& Honda back up if they upgraded the looks id go back to one,ut for the mo, the kawasaki is hard to beat
I own one and I love it.My wife-too.Honda make a big mistake:stops making this bike.My bike made in 2012 .This year is last for ST1300, that was sold in North America. I think,Honda return this bike back again and I wish that. If I trade my ST,only for new ST.
Thanks for the video! I am thinking of buying a used one (2002) - 27.800 miles .. I think even that they ask for $9000 (US).. Well - really stunning bike!
Oh, you don't need anything else more...yeah right what about some heated grips,heated seat,navigator or at least a support for one,gear indicator and the most important thing: a fucking 6th speed.And yes some closing mirrors like my 05 burgie650 would be nice.
Some police models fitted with certain aftermarket accessories and specific models of tires produced a weave at very high speeds, but even then it was rare. A real world owner would likely never experience it. My 2007 ST1300 with side and top boxes and OEM windshield has hit 120 to 130 MPH many times and I've never experienced instability.

Ben Fernandez which one is better st1300 or st 1100.

Just bought an '06 with only 4500 miles. Awesome bike, it's my second one.

2024 - bought one in Wellesford with 104k on it. Six grand - a steal. Way more comfy than my GS.

Beautiful ride on the highway...only complaint is the heat from the engine..burned my thighs on a 2 hour ride home after purchasing it.

Alexandr Saidov does it have a manual transmission?
Leaning toward the ST for my next bike.

Just bought my first one yesterday
guy derrien hi ,is your st1100 was good ?because I am going to buy 2000 st 1100.
2017 too bad they are not made anymore
More like $16K on sale. And yes...It's worth every penny.
I never understand how these guys think you'll be dry behind a screen, maybe you'll be out of the driving rain, but it's not bloody dry.
Not if you're stopped
great review. its this or the FJR . I always lean toward Honda but both are really good bikes
I ride my ST 1300 to 240 km/hr in a long highway, very stable and smooth. Just for 5 minutes only, it is too much velocity to be safe...
At 160 kmh very safe to ride for long distance.
looks nice, bigger gas tank than my concours,, but connie would SMOKE this thing, just as compfy, and also a nice 6sp.
YES CAUSE SMOKING IS WHAT WE DO WITH TOUR BIKES.........NOT

I agree- very Good.
He's obviously not had a high speed weave yet!
With WELL balanced tires and wheels and proper tire inflation the high speed wobble goes away. Experience.

Am I the only one who is bothered by the helmet lying on the ground like that? For all the creepy crawlees to find their way in.
Yes you are 😎
If do not have the fucking cruiser control this bike do not worth anything
Fabio Santos Atlas's cruise control...100 $
In places like NZ the roads are rarely straight enough to merit a cruise control, so it depends where you live.
