Reviewing my Honda ST1300 after clocking 100,000 miles. I tell you My likes, problems along the way, and would I recommend it to anyone else, while motovlogging about it riding the ST1300.
Nice review, TBF!😎
Glad you enjoyed it
You experience the "Pan wabling" at high speeds?There is talk of owners' experiences at highway speeds when they get scary?
@@cristiantamasila8667 you can get the Motorcycle Front Fork Brace and you can do 150 mph smooth with no twerking or shaking and the cost is $35.00 bucks
I am in the UK, watching this great video. I am going to look at one in a few days time. Thank you.
This is a great bike. I have the ST 1100 with over 170,000 miles and it is still running great!
that's fantastic.... I really like the 1100 also, not a fan of the carbs tho
I was a bit worried when bought a 100k miles ST1100, but she has been great on every inch of my 2k miles I've done with her!
@0skarst got one with 111,000 miles on it and i totally love it
Honda ST1300 with 186000 miles and still running like new!
What great clear roads. Here in the UK I would have encountered on a 10min 27 sec jounary (the length of this video), 10k slow cars, 100 bicycles, 1k lorries & 5k white vans.
I hope to purchase one of these beauties one day in the future.
Currently riding a Honda CB500X (4yrs old) with 56k miles, used for work all year round. With an avarage of 95 MPG (UK) every day with zero mechanical issues. Why wouldn't anyone not buy a Honda.
I salutes you Honda..........
Great description of uk's roads mate👍👍👍😂
I bought mine in 2002, and it's covered around 250,000miles (the speed sensor was out for four years, and it took me a while to work out what the problem was). I've done the fork seals twice, rear wheel bearings, once, and I've put a new water pump in it. Bomb-proof bike, and I suspect it's the best of it's kind!
I just bought a 2006 st 1300 with a little over 110 k miles and i thought that was a lot but i am hoping for a lot more miles like yours, thanks for your post, it makes me happy to see all this bikes with a lot of miles on them like mine
Looking at a 2006 ST 1300 with 32K miles. Sounds like that level of miles should be no problem as long as it has been maintained
Thanks for the run through of the bike. I've been looking at one locally and you answered my questions.
No problem 👍
I brought a 2007 with 27000 miles for $4300. Loving it
Barely broke in... enjoy
I just bought a 2010 ST1300 today with only 20k!. Rode it 40 miles and love it!!!
Just bought a 05 one with 52k miles on it, hopefully it will live up to all the great reviews, coming from a 07 bmw K1200gt which was lots of trouble, so fingers crossed 🤞 greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
How is the new(ish) bike treating you? I'm currently looking at an 06 with 44k miles
@@ehd1990 a very comfy bike i must say, thing to note is alot of heat build up from exhaust (common problem) not an issue here in Ireland as temperatures don't get that high, but a great bike on the road, big tank less fuel stops, it does not feel like a big bike once you're moving, very happy so far with it.
@@aidandoyle7982 thanks for the feedback. The heat is just about the only complaint I hear about but I'm not going to let it bother me. I doubt it's anything too serious. I also love the mileage range, that's a big advantage I think the ST has over the other 1300s
@@aidandoyle7982 what can you say about bmw K1200 GT? very unrelible compare to Honda - i owned 3 hondas - still own a F4i but my spine was hurt after this year 6500km trip Poland to Greece and want a better bike - but i like speeding and i hear a ST1300 can wooble is is true? What is MPG in your ST1300?
@@mikkei3532 never had a wobble at high speed on my st1300, the k1200gt was super comfy, I liked the cruise control, the rider & passenger heated seats was very good, the bmw has more gadgets, but my bmw had rear final drive issues & rear bearing issue, both of which were costly to fix, the Honda is super comfy also, it doesn't have the gadgets the bmw did, I loved both bikes, but honda I think is more reliable and cheaper to fix. I fill my Honda tank, it usually does just under 300 miles to a tank.
Just purchased one with 114k ...good service and everything working plus upgradeds
I wish that the LCD was easier to read. I’ve seen a place that will replace the LED backlight or even reverse the display and am considering that. I am also considering the Heli-bars Horizon ST bars. They transformed my Concours14.
Those bars are awesome
Greetings from Albany Western Australia. Mines a 06 ex police with 72k
Awesome
Have a 2007 ST1300 w/ 87K miles. Only issue I have had is that I have had to replace the speed sensor twice (at every 40k so far). Other than that the bike runs great and 100K miles will be easy for this bike to get to. I use Throttlemeisters as a poor man's cruise control and they work pretty well.
i have some sort of cheap throttle lock i got years ago... good for about as long as it takes to check to see if my wallet is in my pocket....lol
@@TwoBlueFRED Did you use any type of throttle lock or cruise control on those long cruises? Also check out Carl Knapp's video "Homemade Throttle Lock in Detail". It looks much safer than an actual throttle lock during unexpected emergencies.
@@stephenlane7951 i did have a throttle lock...still on the bike right now... it does ok... but hit a hill, and doesn't keep up.
I just bought a ST 1300, unfortunately it is still half way across the country. Hopefully it will be here in the near future. I wasn't sure how it or I would do with so much distance at one time. Throttle hand fatigue was one item I was concerned with. I have been considering the Brakeaway cruise control for it's quality and safety over traditional throttle locks, but now I am going to try the throttle ty as shown on Mr. Knapp's video first. What would you consider a typical average number of miles you cover in a day on an extended trip?
@@stephenlane7951 depends heavily on which part of the country we are in and have we been there before. also what if anything we are stopping to see that day. we rarely see less than 500 miles in one day on extended trip, no matter what we are doing for the day. If i were to try and put an average on it, probably 600 to 800 a day. It's very hard to pin down, we look try to make a schedule and figure out what we have to do to be where when we need to be. Open and CLose times effects that a lot. Might need to push one day, because a place closes at 5pm, but spend the night in the town, because it opens at 8am. a vacuum cruise control is the way to go, from what i've read. but they seem to be high priced. looking back, probably well worth the money.
A really good bike! Had mine for only 3 month.. Sensational. Zero cred at trad/Harley meetings over in Blighty. Also London council's decision on extensive 20 mph zones make it Nutbush City Limits til you head out of town. Tragic but true!
Nice review I am on my second one
Would you purchase an extended warranty for an 06 with 75000 miles?
118k miles on my ST1300
Damn that was some ugly handlebars !
Hi ya Fred. I got lucky in June of 2021 finding a 2006 ST with only 5800 miles on the clock. Like brand new condition. I made 2” risers for the handlebars and installed a Sargent seat. Also installed Delkevic Exhaust too. I’m in my 60s and have had at least 20 different bikes. This IS the best one yet even though it’s a 06’.
I'm on my second. 30k a year on average in all weathers. I've had faster (K1200GT-2007), I've had sportier (R1200RS-2013) and I've had 3 GS's but the ST1300 is the best of the lot. It's like a big friendly dog that never lets me down and always looks after me. And boy does it surprise a few sportier bikes around the country lanes of Kent & Sussex.
Awesome.. love mine too.. I don't ride it as much anymore, but when I do, OMG
Top of the CRUISER BIKES .JUST LOVE MY 2006 MODEL WITH 63,0OO MILES . ONLY REPLACED BATTERY ONCE SINCE IVE OWNED IT IN 6 YEARS ..NEW ZEALAND
I picked mine up for $4500 with only 20,000 miles on it. Also, the dealer had just performed a complete service on the bike. It runs great and is my daily commuter.
Thanks so much for posting this. I watched this video a month ago and took your suggestion to do it: 2004 with65k. miles.- bought it on faith and I freaking love it. Planning my first tour- thanks again
Thats awesome... glad ur e enjoying it... whats your location?
Bought one 2 months ago. 2003 with 90 000 km and aftermarket cruise control. Fantastic! I didn't think it would be so amazing to ride. Powerful, smooth, handles amazing. I've already put on about 6 000 km through the Canadian Rockies and British Columbia
sure wish mine had cruise control...........enjoy !
Where can you find after market cruise control? Mine has been tweeked (with Gold Wind controls) but would like to know how . Sadly Ontario is a long way from the Rockies! :)
I just passed 100k on my st13 as well. Im surprised that you got away with not changing spark plugs, since after about 16k mine really ran kinda of shitty. I love the bike too though and I'm looking forward to another 100k
Enjoy those miles, great engine and bike
my 2006 just hit 70k miles and kept in a garage and looks like day 1 ..I live in Arizona and drive her 115 degree summer weather and she runs nice and cool without overheating issues .... It has the pan european top box with 3rd brake light, high intensity fog and headlights, Navi, and I dearly love her !!!!
2006 ST with 144,000 runs like a champ. No problems just new tires for more miles. Very happy
excellent
Going to look at an 06 with 44k miles for 4200$ on Saturday.
took a chance on a 06 1300 with 110000 miles on it and i am happy to see this posts like yours with a lot more miles than mine. thanks for posting, looking forward to more mileage from my bike
I bought a 2006 with 39,000 a couple weeks ago for a song and a dance. It's good to see them with so many miles running around.
How often did Honda S1300 need to adjust valve? I think it does not need to adjust valves because of V4 what looks like a same Honda accord engine.
I'm on my 3rd identical ST1300 each from new. They are fantastic bikes. Ultra reliable, loads of carrying capacity -much more than recent bikes, and narrow enough for London traffic. Latest has done 29,000 trouble free miles. If Honda were still making them I'd trade in for another now. Unfortunately I don't like their alternatives. So I'll run this one til either it or I drop!
I have 2002 model same collor with about 122000 km on it.Runs great,drive it every day to work.
If you elevate the 5-way valve up a little bit with a foam block ... and then install some coarse air filtration media in the crankcase ventilation cavity on the forward right side of the air filter housing ... that oil mist won't clog that 5-way valve anymore. While you're in there, replace all of the philips-head mounting screws on the snorkels with allen-head bolts and spacers .. because they're a bitch to loosen with a screwdriver.
Oil mist from the crankcase ventilation congeals in the intake bores and flows downward into the hoses and into the 5-way valve. Raising the valve prevents this. And the coarse filtration media cuts down on the oil mist inside the filter housing.
Cool... next time I'm in there I'll do that... good info, thanks for watching
I just wondered. Are you using JIS screwdrivers? The difference is unbelievable
i have on e a 2005 and it's only got 34xxx miles on it now just put new tires and put over 1400 miles this summer alright fun bike
Fricking ride every day!! Gonna get one. Got a BMW K1200LT and lover it but want something with more power and less work.
That's like a truck on 2 wheels
On the note of the valve needing fixing or replacement.. how was it running exactly? Stumble on throttle? Almost as if injectors needed cleaning?
I have an opportunity to pick one up for $500. Should I do it?
Like it ...have one with 60000 mls....good bike to run away from Putin....regard from Europe, the Netherlands
I found one for sale in my area with 818,000 miles on it. It looked like hell but they wanted $1600 for it lol I couldn’t believe the mileage and have found several with 300,000 miles on them.
Got my pan in 2010 with 22,650 miles on it. Now I have 113,000. Great bike. Tried other bikes but they are not as good as the st1300. Safe riding from Ireland
thanks for watching........enjoy the smiles
You still got yours Steve?
cant wait to get my 06 st1300a used police bike. Got it for $550 and mileage is 94k
Valves not making a ticking noise can be valves that got tight instead of getting loose, and tight valves can burn a hole through the head right at the valve seat..seen it happen:( valve check are cheaper than a head. Good bike!!
i dont disagree...... i'll look into it...i'd hate to loose the bike
Public sales ended with the 2012, law enforcement sales continuing to 2015-2016 model year.
Hi. Have my 2002 Pan for over a year. Put 10k miles on it so far. Odom at 25k miles now. Great to have the longevity confirmed. Great bike. Does nearly everything well. Love it. Nice review. Greetings from south county Cork, Ireland
thanks for dropping us a note... you'll love the bike the more you ride it
Looking at a 2004 ST1300 with 113000 miles to replace my stolen Honda Shadow. $1800 seems like a steal, so I'll give it a crack.
That has to be the rattiest looking ST1300 I've ever seen, but it still runs like a top! You pretty much sold me on the ST.
yea, it looks like rats ass...... UV rays are a bitch :-)
Yep. Don't park motorcycles outside with or without a cover. The UV rays and moisture trapped under a cover will take a toll on a bike.
Hallo St1300 Fahrer, many greetings from Bavaria, ich habe eine 2008 ST1300 gekauft mit 18.000 km für 6.600,- Euro, looks like new, you know,? Und ich liebe dieses Bike.I love it!
Allseits gute Fahrt mein Lieber!
you will enjoy it many many more years.. cheers !
On the st owners forum they’re was a few guys with over 200,000 one guy with over 300,000 miles.
That's awesome
I've only been looking at 'em for about 2 months and I've already noticed the price of them going up.
2003 with 121,800 miles. These days it sits for long periods between the weather and having a second bike. But fires up every time with a battery tender.
Tire life is decent, great in the rain, low-end torque way better than my Ducati Monster 1200. Put this in 5th and ride like an automatic. My Ducati I ride like a 600.
Only problem I ever had was in Seattle. Down by the water front, those hills are brutal on the clutch. No slippage since but never again. Seattle ain't worth clutch plates.
I've done 200,000 miles on mine (2002), and I suspect it will do the same again!
That's nuts
@@ehd1990 mileage updated in later post!
@@michaelpoplett2745 I've got a 2006 with 46k miles on it. The thing is a beast but wind is an issue when my windshield is down. I can't go more than 50 without my face getting blasted by wind. (I ride plenty of other bikes that don't do this). Also, when I'm riding at higher speeds, the bike feels unstable. I'm talking about 90 to 100 mph it likes to dance a little. Again, I have other bikes that don't do this. I put it up on offerup but no one seems to want it.
@@ehd1990 Make sure the suspension is adjusted properly. There was talk of a weave when the 13 came out, but it was overhyped. There's nothing wrong with the 13 - whe Honda upgraded the 11, the listened to owners, and the consensus was that it needed to be a bit more powerful, and needed to have sharper handling: Honda repoded by giving the 13 more power and the wheelbase of a VFR. Net result was a much better, sharper bike, but still a bit lardy, so it was never going to be a Blade or R1. Don't raise the screen above 80mph, and below that, just sut tight, it will sort itself out!
2004 Pan European
13,600 miles
How many sets of tires have you done?
Currently own 03. After extensive repairs at 101k miles wouldn't dream of selling. Currently at 105k after 1k miles round trip this week. Recently had water pump/gasket, alternator, clutch basket, wheels bearings, breaks, pirelli tires, LED headlights and switchback for blinkers and tall windshield at 4k US Dollars, it's back to new far as I'm concerned. Great bike. If you got one pay the cost of repairs and start collecting OEM essential parts and store them. You'll be glad you did down the road.
Hola amigos, soy de Mexico Guerrero y me compre una ST1300 2003 y tiene 56km igual que 34 mil millas, siento yo que está como nueva y es mi primera moto así! Y veo sus comentarios y espero y me valla igual de bien que todos ustedes con esta belleza 🤩
me acabo de comprar una 2006 con 111,000 millas y trabaja de maravilla. E leido much de tu modelo que empieza a vivrar com a los 100 millas por hora, te a pasado esto? parece que es problema del modelo 2003 st1100.
So I bought a 1 owner ST1300 with 31000 miles for 3500$ I thought it was a good deal but from what I hear it was an awesome deal.
Sounds like a good deal to me.. enjoy friend
@@TwoBlueFRED every day for the last 3 months, can't wait to go to work, can't wait to get off work and go home the long way around through the woods and hills.
I have an 05 since new have 48,000 miles it’s been one of the best bikes i ever had ! I know of an 03 with 232,000 miles and still going strong ! I also have a 2014 FJR 1300 but it’s not half the bike the ST is! FJR’S started putting cruise controls on in 2013 on up but they are physically smaller and tight not as comfortable and don’t ride or handle nearly as well as the ST ! And like you say the only thing it needs is cruise control! The last production year for the ST was 2012 however right now you can still buy a 2017 new leftover police bike available to the public in white/ black for 10k in Florida and other parts of the country with zero miles on them.
I liked the ST was bigger, fits me better... never rode a fjr..doesn't sound like I've missed anything:-)
Great to hear another happy ST rider! I did the same kind of video and came to the same conclusion. Haven't got so much experience with the bike yet so good to here it even is great after so many miles! 👍
Right on!
04 with 110,000kms. 110% agree with you I wish it have cruiser control.
2 years later how's it doing?
What and where is the Five way T valve. I have a 2005 ST with 165,000. Can't find it in the service manual. I would like to replace it.
It is a fantastic bike. Had a 2005 with 105K on it.
it's under the air filer, pull the entire air filter box
hi from Holland Fred! I've just bought a pan european over here with 148.000 km on it. I'm sure I can drive dubbel that. Its well looked after so I hope it can. It drives perfect Ican tell you that! save miles!
i love my st 2003 model with 82kmiles on it,I'm in hayward,ca,where are u located?
east coast, south carolina
Good video. I have an St, 2007 1300 honda.I have to mention I also have A 2016 heritage softail & a Harley Davison 2008 sportster. The Honda is what I drive daily ,love it.
This weekend I purchased a ST 1300 (in the Netherlands) with 150.000 kms (94.000 mls). A perfect bike!
100k and never a spark plug change!? That’s amazing
I just randomly bought one of these with 21000 miles for 900$
what a bargin
Found a brand new 2010 for sale today. No miles. Best price offered by Honda dealer was $12,500 factory warranty included obviously. How do you price a new 10 year old bike? Still out of my price range though. Oh well.
i paid that for 2009 in 2011..
2006. 100,000 miles. New fuel pump at 80,000. Routine maintenance and no other issues. And I have Audiovox cruise control ;-)
lucky to have Cruise control... wish i had it back when i rode the ST cross country....
I got a 04 that has 45,000, so according to you it’s not broke in yet, planning on putting 100,000 on it
it'll be a good ride for ya.......
My 2007 has almost 50,000 miles, I love it. Have a problem with the windshield, my fault as I had swapped out the stock shield for a wider one, big mistake , changed back and like the stock best., but I rarely move it, do run it up in rainstorm. Coming up on annual oil change, and won’t be long need some new rubber- yeah did the seat upgrade, fork brace, trunk, dash shelf and garmin nav, phone cradle, cut a hole in the trunk installed a marine grade radio with remote mounted on the tank, added speakers in the dash (that was a bitch) with a Boss bluetooth stereo and that rocks! Highway pegs, big Larry’s lights, the saddle bag protector bars, have direct connection for battery tender, fork lights, added some led running lights, added extra brake and blinker led lights on the trunk, have the mounting bars for CB radio antenna and did have a CB radio but ditched that, yeah I love riding this ST, oh put holes in the inner cowling alongside the forks and engine to blow off some of the engine heat, glad I did that. Did upgrade to a better horn. One thing I like is a tank pad, on long trips on the interstate when I am at high speed covering ground fast, I like to lay down on a thick pad on the tank and get some rest , put my feet up on the pillion pegs.
I have 134k miles on my 1991 ST1100 that I bought with 61k. It is apart for an alternator upgrade but otherwise has been a great bike. Thx for the review!
Another perspective...I ride a friend's ST1100...got rid of handlebar risers....and made a shorty windshield...and took off Corbin seat, putting on stock one
Good review👍. I own a second hand 2005 ST1300 Pan European which I bought with 25,000ks on the clock. All I've had to do is replace the battery after 7 years of use. Both fork seals at 96,000ks, and that's it. A very smooth, comfortable, quiet mile muncher. Shame Honda discontinued making them.
Nice one. Just got mine today 2017 . Nice bike
I just brought a 2004 ST1300 with 46000km on clock over here in NZ after having had Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki big bore Sport Tourers and the first thing I did was spend big coin on a McCruise electronic cruise control made in Australia, best investment ever.
Wish I had added cruise long ago. Not worth it to me at this point.
How much was the McCruise from Ozzy mate?
@@matthewsly4381 1500 NZ
Great bike bought mine in Oct find it heavy at low speeds but a few practice sessions in an old works car park practice u turns n slow riding gained confidence in bike, but on the road love it such a great ride but your right first thing foer me is a new seat cos original sucks. Ride safe
Thanks for watching
Same. Little practice on slow speed turns is always a good idea. It is Heavy to push backwards on an upgrade into my garage, is the only complaint. Bought as second owner w/55K miles. Done nothing but fluid change.
04 St1300 ABS, Great Bike, no issues except small weeping fork seal. Perfect all around MC. Commuter, short jaunts, long jaunts, whatever. One of the few bikes that looks better with the side bags than without. Fits full size helmet too!! Can’t say that sadly for the New Goldwing for $25k or more. 😒
100.000 Is nothing on a well mantained Honda. I have seen a 1992 , 125 CC Honda cgl with over half a millón kilómeter. A crazy guy travelled from South Argentina to México with It, over 11 years. It had the same engine. Poor biker had a hunchback like that guy from the Notre Dame.
Wish the bike had cruise
Just bought one in Holland with 100.000 KM= ???miles. Running great
2003 with 120k miles. Corbin seat and top box.
Good job, all I'd need is heli bars on yours
Honestly, it's difficult to take a motorcycle youtuber seriously when you see them riding without proper gear.
It simply goes to credibility.
Thank you was trying to decide on buy one with 105000 miles in great condition for $2700 you help me to go ahead get it. Thanks again for making this video
Good choice!
Checking them is easy, adjusting them is much more involved.Clean the spark plug holes (compressed air), put the engine in top gear ), pull the valve covers ( by now you probably need to replace the reusable neoprene gaskets)., rotate the engine with the spark plugs loose, or removed by bumping the rear wheel forward only. , get the pointy end of the cam lobe pointing directly away from the valve lifter, (the thing it's pressing against). , then stick a gap gauge in the space between the two...I leave the plugs in, & loose so stuff doesn't fall in .The valves can actually get less clearance over time because of their design., If it gets to tight it will hold the valve off it's seat & destroy both! ., too loose and it makes noise .
you make it sound easy.....i'll have to get in there and look how to take off that valve cover..that seems to be the hardest step?
I have a 05 st1300 287,381 miles I'm using amoil I change the oil every 8000 miles the plugs every 100,000
How expensive were your 30K services and where did you get them done ? Mine’s due.
Nice vid, I am new to the ST clan as i bought mine in Feb this year and I am so impressed with the ST. I hav a 2006 model with 41000km (25000miles) on the clock. Keep rolling from South Africa
enjoy, 25k is barely broke in...
Do some have cruise control my gl1500 has cruise and I'm spoiled really makes long rides a pleasure!
Love mine. Added bar riser. 8000 miles on it today. . Bought it last year with 150 (yes 150) miles on it. 2012 model
Great to hear!
Got a 06' ST back in January 2020. Have put 11,000 miles on with no problem. My left fork seal is leaking and winshield could use replacing. I bought it to ride not detail.
I have 4700 miles on my 2012. Like new and it’s for sale in the NYC area
2005 and 74k miles NOTHING compares to the ST for me.
I have a 2010 , 67,000 no issues
good to hear.......thanks for watching
I own a 2010 that I love, things I dont like is the whining the motor produces, heavy as hell, wish it had abs, took out a 2010 bmw r1200rt, 6 speed, abs, self cancelling directional, gear indicator, cruise control, heated seat and grips, not a smooth as the v four, but a lot more options, I think honda should have equipped them a little more, it is a sport touring bike. Think I'm gonna make the change
More features are sure to be had. Be careful if the BMW has a final drive
You can get a manual cruise control goes around you throttle grip. Sorry don’t recall the brand
Thinking of buying a used one- any warning g signs other than normal stuff?
Its a joke that tourers dont have cruisecontrol as standard but i guess its about earning more money from honda
I have a 2005 ST1300, love it. 61,000KM, barely broken in. Custom seat, top box, larger windshield with vents, tire pressure sensors..handle bar riser. Wish it had cruise control & ABS! Comfortable, quiet, fast, handles well, great range & fuel econcomy (19km/l highway). Wish I'd had this bike when I did my cross Canada tours. Why the hell did Honda stop making these??
i wish i knew why they stopped.. not the appeal to large enuff audience would be my guess. However, I do belive the new goldwing is a ST1300 upgrade as opposed to being an older goldwing update. feels much more as a sport tourer than a luxery tourer IMO. thanks for watching
The sales were dropping as more people turned to adventure bikes, and the engine did not comply with Euro 5 emission regs. But the engine could have easily been upgraded to comply.
I bought an '03 and put 10K kilometers last season, a few bits, rad cap, coolant, battery( it was an 08) 12 years old, and didnt owe anybody anything. Turning 100K kilos now and a fresh set of Road Fives for next year. I have a twist style throttle lock and fork brace, heated grips and a $100 Corbin I got on local classifieds. Honda FTW!
Sounds like a good deal
Hey Fred shouting out from Asheville NC. Took your advice- I bought this and LOVE it!!!!! Thanks for all of your thoughts! Yeah I’m just getting into touring. Got stranded once because of the battery/ but bc I got new tires I’m getting ready to really ride some miles. I can’t wait- thank you so much

Hi, one person that wants to sell this motorcycle for $3500 and it has 113.000 miles already. It was a cop bike and he just has maintenance at the motorcycle dealer. Should i buy it?
What things should i check before i buy it? Please give me some advice. Thank you!
Have to look at it, if all is good...the mileage isn't an issue... if its been taken care of you should be able to tell...if its been down u should be able to tell that... I just got to bike week and answering on the go...
@@TwoBlueFRED thank you. I’m still looking for another one in my area. Hard to find a good one with low mileage. Basically all st1300 used to be cop bike and mileage around 80k up to 100k miles.
I’ll check fork seals, frame damage, and test drive.
This is my dream motorcycle when i was a kid.
Keep looking, expand your search area.. I seen recently sum about 4k less than 40k miles
@@TwoBlueFRED still looking for it. Even over 1000 miles but high mileage and high price as well. I just found 1 person in Newport Beach selling for $2000 and 82k miles. Good deal!
I’ll take a look later.
@@TwoBlueFRED I got it. Very nice and clean bike for $1900. :D. He has done major maintenance already. Nice guy ever seen.
"I'm not going to pay Honda to do it, then they don't it anyway" lol
Is that an aftermarket windscreen...curious on brand?
I installed an MCCruise unit on mine and it is wonderful. I haven’t been impressed with the gas mileage, but it is comfortable. It also gets hot. I melted a prescription drugs on a trip in August last year.
i bout toasted a phone in the glove compartment on its first ride... lucky the first ride was only a few miles...so i figured how hot very quickly. thanks for watching
@@TwoBlueFRED My meds were in one of the panniers. I'm sure that the bottle made its way to the bottom of the bag. Those mufflers must get really hot. My bike has an accessory charging port in the right side glove box that I had thought about using to charge items. I guess that would be a no.
