Honda ST1300 Race Track FAST (Part 2 of 3) Pacific Raceways Pan European

- Part 2 of 3. Track day at Pacific Raceway in Kent Washington. This video is "after" I was practicing 2 weeks prior in Shelton Washington at the Ridge Motorsports. I'm more confident on this day versus 2 weeks ago. One of my dreams was to get back on the racetrack. 1991 was my last track day on a racetrack in Stillwater Oklahoma at the Hallet Raceway when I worked for the Gebhardt BMW racing team. It feels great to be on the racetrack again. This time on a motorcycle versus a racecar.

Legit skills there..i can’t believe that heavy bike is able to pass a lot of supersports and superbikes..it’d be real scary to high side that beast.
Hello Almeda, thank you for watching 🙂 That was a exciting day on the track, if you ever have an opportunity for some track time go for it. I actually almost threw up after 4th Track run because it was so hot, plus I was also recovering months earlier from a stroke. So I was on the track enjoying life. Have a wonderful weekend ❤️🤙🏍️
I forgot to mention. Here is part 3 of another track day but even faster:

Passing sport bikes on a Pan European is very funny 😂. Respect 🫡
Thank you for watching. It sure was fun out on the track. 🤙🏍️
Look at that big girl go! Very nice!
Thanks Peter 🤙🏍 and thanks for watching 🤙🏍.
Une grande maîtrise de ce mastodonte de plus de 300Kg !!!

I’m going to ride my Pan European 2006 on a raceway Ring Knutstorp in June. This video is inspired!
Hello Sigge,, greetings from Seattle Washington, so excited to hear you will take one of the best touring bikes on the racetrack, it is inspiring and is one excellent way how to learn our ST/Pan Touring bike and the best way possible which is on the racetrack. If you have a chance here is part 3 link and this one is better. I have front and rear camera this time. At the 12 minute 42 seconds,,, you will see a yellow motorcycle with a rear camera on the tail and I did my best trying to pass him,, but I did catch up on a straight away....❤️🤙🏍️

Great job! I hit the curves today on my ST1300. It is Way more capable than I am!! Subbed
Thank you.... Track time is a must!! Best Regards. Good videos on your side. Subbed too.
Very nice!
Great race with your Tupperware bike LOL...I got the same bike and i love to race against faster machines/guys who think they can ride!!
Hello Matthijs, Greetings from Seattle. Thank you very much for watching. Funny thing happened after the race. The track officials that were around the track were hunting me down, looking for the Silver Tupperware bike. They kept calling me out. When I came out of the trailer (recovering from slight heat stroke) they were telling me how surprised they were with my Goldwing... I had to correct them and let them know,,, no, it's a ST1300/Pan European Touring bike. Gotta love this wonderful Honda motorbike. 🏍🤙❤️
Great job! You killed the line.
Hello Dom :>) Thank you so much for your message. Greatly appreciated. Now that the weather is warming up here in Seattle, more track time coming soon. My next track day is in 2 months. This time I will see if the bike is faster with the Booster Plug. I think the bike will run a few more miles per hour faster on the straightaway. Cheers.... Oh..Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for auto notification when I post my next video. :>)
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Done!
This is right off the 18, and its an awesome track, highly recommended!
Hello Keyshawn! You are correct. The track is just off hwy 18 in Kent, WA. Thank you for watching. Hopefully the track will open in 2020 🤙🏍❤️
Amazing performance by a “sport touring bike” most impressive bike I’ve ever owned!
The track officials hunted me down after the race and thought I was on a Goldwing and was super impressed. Especially when the bike weighs 350 pounds more than the the rest of the bikes 🤙😎
I’ll bet! The ST is definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing! When I first got mine I couldn’t get over how powerful but smooth it is! Also can’t believe Honda has discontinued such a fabulous motorcycle!, Never did understand the “ we’ve got it perfected now let’s stop making it” mentality!
I’m not saying it can’t be improved on , anything can, but with a few very minor tweaks it could again dominate the sport touring market!
It is still tops in my book, comfort, speed and handling are hard to put in the same package, but Honda did it with the ST1300!
@@derrellmorris8451 I cannot agree more! I love my ST1300 ABS 2004.
Considering the tire compound or lack of track tires for the 1300 this is awesome. I have one. My biggest worry I think would be the brakes and ground clearance. I had the brake lever to the bar once on a CBR900. Not a disaster but very close.
Hello Kevin, and greetings from Seattle, thank you for watching, you are so correct about the tires, it's a good thing the tires were brand new on that track day,. Take a look at this next video one year later on the same tires, much more entertaining with front and rear camera, also notice on the last 10 minutes if video the yellow motorcycle in front of me,,, I was so close to passing it,, I would catch up at the end of the straight away, then his lighter bike through the turn had the advantage,,,, but he always got away from me on the turns. Thanks again for watching, here is part 3 FASTER 🏍️🤙🏍️

Was watching your tach and speed, wow you had it wound out pretty good!!
@@kennethrogers1129 ,, so far I've gotten it up to 152 mph. On my video list you will see the thumbnail of a flame coming out of the exhaust pipe that is my other video when I hit top speed towards the end of the video.
Be sure to watch my video on "Target fixation". It will definitely make you a better rider and safer and probably save you from serious injury. 🤙🏍️
Good job,Sir. Honda is the best.
Thanks Alexandr!!! Honda is GREAT!!
Very good man!!!
Thank you Tiger!! If you ever have a chance, pay from some track training and time. It's worth it!!
Loved it! You crushed it!
thanks Mike, next summer I will do it again hopefully in a CBX next time 🤙🤙
Awesome riding sir! I would love to do a race like that on my st1100.
Hello Bruce, Greetings from Seattle. Thank you for watching!!! Warmest Regards.(by the way,, thanks for Subscribing :>)
To many trees next to the track. ;-)
But besides that minor fact ... Great representation for us Pan European pilots.
Greetings Tiesemans :>) LOL....... yes there are too many trees LOL... THANKS FOR WATCHING :>)
Lovely Riding this machine is no race bike but more than capable of holding its own in against many riders . I don't think most of us wioll outperform its capabilities. at least I won't.
I LOVE my ST. I found out how good it is after visiting the race track. Great for both worlds :>)
I had a 2003 '1300 for 3 years. Loved it, then sold it for a 05 wing and a 99 st1100. Thinking about another st1300. Great riding. BTW I had mt 1300 up to 141 in West texas on an FM road; stable as all heck.
LOL,,, Hello DommoPa,, thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. So far this ST 1300 - pan has been a delight to ride.. Racing on the weekends and then throw your wife on the back and go touring. Have a wonderful week 🤙🏍️🤙
By the way,,, this is my last time on the track 3 weeks ago. This time with better front and rear camera coverage: ua-cam.com/video/XrSa8Oswvf0/v-deo.html
Wow !! You are à very good pilot !!
Thank you it was a lot of work and it was on my bucket list after my stroke Feb 15, 2019.... I got it done!!! 🤙😎
Nice ride mate!
Thanks Terry!!! Greetings from Seattle :>)
Great Bikes !
Hello Bill, thanks for watching and greetings from Seattle. I fell in love with my bike when I bought it August of 2018 and ever since then I really enjoy having the combination of sport touring and some track time. It is a wonderful Universal motorcycle. If possible subscribe, you can also visit us over at Instagram and our private group over at Facebook. Take care 🤙🏍️🤙🏍️
This is great :)
Good, good, right where she belongs... ahead of all the space cadets and still comfortable, smooth and care free :P
Hallo Kaiser,, thank you for watching hope you're having a wonderful weekend. YES 🤙🏍️🤙 comfortable, smooth, and powerful Sport Touring Pan European motorbike. Be sure to watch the next video, "FASTER" with Booster PLUG,, this time I have front and rear camera. The last 9 minutes was difficult to pass the motorcycle with the yellow rear fender, with the camera on it.... I would catch up to him before the corner but was not able to pass.. Schönen Tag noch ❤️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide I will do my friend... keep up the great riding.
Awesome 🔥
Do you have any riding tips or tricks? Do you lean or do your push down with your foot on the peg to get into a curve?
@@kennethrogers1129 ,, hello and thank you for watching. It is mostly based on the lean by first positioning your body to the left or to the right based on the turn.
For example "left turn" coming up, left butt cheek slides to the left, slight movement of body forward, left knee bent and position correctly on the peg, lean into the turn and push the left handlebar away from you, turn eyes left and helmet slightly left, very important to pay attention to the exact location you want to go and Target fixate on that area, as you're going through the turn the left side of your helmet is pretty much touching your left shoulder area. The tighter the turn you're "pushing" the left side handlebar more away and with your right arm your pulling the right side "in" so you're right elbows going towards your right kidney.
Now concentrate on the throttle and the lean, the faster through the turn the more you are leaning and pushing on the left handlebar away from you.
Your foot on the left peg is a resting spot, you're not pushing on it.
I learned all of this watching UA-cam videos on how to handle a motorcycle on the racetrack.
Have you tried UA-cam "Motorcycle riding techniques on the racetrack"?
Also do you have a RaceTrac near you where they allow track time?
Also another great thing to do is a huge abandoned parking lot is to whip your motorcycle around some cones that you've placed out there and learn emergency maneuver techniques
When approaching the cone, make an emergency maneuver around each cone.
I hope this information was useful and let me know how things go if you do have a chance on the racetrack 🤙🤙🏍️🏍️
Awesome video . I watched part one. and I have a subscribed long time ago.I have a question. How much air do you put in your tires, my friend? For raceway 42 psi is ok?
Hello Alexandr, thank you for watching, great to hear from you again 🏍🏍. On the racetrack I had the tire pressure set to 42 PSI in the front and 42 PSI in the rear. After each race the pressure went up to round 50 psi hot. It handled great and the tires got nice and hot and stickier after each lap 🤙🤙
@@MotoTouringWorldWide You did with you big baby great job. Ride safe and enjoy your ride.
And next time take of your windshield off, it is going to reduce drag and your front wheel is going to be more stable on track. Problem with ST1300 is that the weight balance is more on the rear wheel. On a stock springs at front ST1300 is a disaster on a high speed. Changing stock springs with progressive makes more easier to enjoy such tracks. superbrace.com/products/2263-honda-st1300?variant=13481534918
So fork springs change and Super brace makes wonder.
Thanks for the advice :>).. I'll be back on the track in May. I'm also going to be Austria mid August for the MotoGP race with my family. Are you in Europe? I just subscribed to your channel. Also, join MotoTouring Wolrd Group, would love to see some pictures of your ST with some "Sehr Schön" photos with landscape and backgrounds. Here is my Facebook page: facebook.com/groups/MotoTouringWorldWide/
I'm sure your right, but it looks so damn cool with that windshield fluttering in the wind! Sport tours rule!
@@keithmccutcheon4980 hello Kevin,,, LOL,, thanks so much for watching. After installing the booster plug last year I was able to get my bike to hit 147 mph. The most so before the booster plug, has been 140. And I had my windshield up a little bit at 147,,, it didn't shake that much, LOL 🤙🏍🤙
I’m surprised that they didn’t make you tape up all your glass!?
Great riding I felt every curve lmao
Thank you.... Track time will hopefully be coming back soon. Can Hardly wait. Such a great bike. Have a great week.
@@MotoTouringWorldWide I would like to know the time You were pushing over 100 mph
@@anastasiosalafogiannis1356 ,, the fastest I got it on the straightaway on the track was around 140 mph. However I have since installed the Booster Plug and I've gotten the motorcycle up to almost 150MPH. Very good handling Motorcycle 🤙🏍❤. Do you have a motorcycle and if yes what kind do you have?
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Yes Iride
I have A Yamaha Stratoliner 1900
Have gotten her up to 140 mph But Only on a straight away
She handles well at 110 to 120 on curves But with cruisers
You must be extra careful on curves .
I was thinking of buying a ST 1300 I like what i saw you do with that bike
@@anastasiosalafogiannis1356 ,,, Yamaha are real good motorbikes. I do really like the Touring of the ST1300 and still somewhat of a sports bike. Come and join us over at MotoTouring World Wide. We are a private Group of ALL Motorcycle Brands. We post pictures of our bikes with nice backgrounds, landscapes. Hope to see your bike at: facebook.com/groups/MotoTouringWorldWide/
I’ve got the same bike, same year and I really love it (but just for cruising...).
But I’m quite tall and the windshield is to short for. Your windshield looks really great with large protection. What model is it?
Hello, greetings from Seattle. Thank you for watching the video. The windshield I have is aftermarket from PUIG. Are you able to click on the video list and see part 1 and part 2 of the windshield. I have the information on the video. Here's the link for part 1 in case you can't find it: ua-cam.com/video/dccj2g-jA-0/v-deo.html
MotoTouring World Wide Thank you very much for your reply. Ok, so this is the Puig, I did not recognize it first on this video. I was hesitating between the Puig and the Ermax. So you seem to be happy with the Puig.
And as I watch yout videos about the windshield, I have know another question... You talk about the cruise control, which system did you choose?
Cheers from France!
@@fxFRA27 ,, hello, it's very late at home for you in France 🤙😀,, thanks again for watching videos. The cruise control is an aftermarket addition on the right side of the throttle and it is something that applies pressure to hold the throttle in place. My bike I bought used 2 years ago and it came with the bike. I do not know the name of the aftermarket company cuz there is not any markings on it from who made it. When I find time I will look for you and see if I can find the company for you 🤙
MotoTouring World Wide Yeah, about midnight here, great time to watch your videos.
Thank you, ride safe.
👌
Thanks for watching :>)
I took one for a test ride this morning
What a great bike
Knew they had to be good if the Police, paramedics, and vehicle breakdown patrolman use them
Very impressed
I would love to run my ST1300 on an empty track like this to see what it can do
When there is track time at your local racetrack, be sure to give it a try. It is the best way to learn your motorbike and your limits along with the limits of the bike. I made a mistake on the track on my 3 video here: ua-cam.com/video/XrSa8Oswvf0/v-deo.html
I went into the gravel. Thanks to "Target Fixation".
I made a video on that too. I was a victim of it here: ua-cam.com/video/csahxZIaZuM/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching. Have fun on the track... some day :>)
Just checking for infamous Pan European speed wobble. Nope, all fine here folks.
LOL 😅😅,, GOOD ONE, I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO NOTICE THERE IS NO WOBBLE... LOL.... By the way, when I hit those same speeds and I have the top box on, the rear top box acts as a device for the wind as it goes around the windshield and me,,,, the wind slaps the left side and the right side of the top box, when the top box is being slapped left side right side, left side right side, back and forth back and forth it starts a wobble after 120 mph...
Thanks for watching, have a wonderful weekend. 🏍️🤙🏍️🤙
Super Glide,,, by the way, I forgot to mention, be sure to watch part 3,, video, is labeled FASTER with booster plug when I was on the track this summer, be safe ride safe, take care....
It's not the horse that wins the race. It's the jockey. 😁.
@@superglide6680 very very good quote, I will remember that one forever, have a wonderful weekend, (greetings from seattle). Be safe ride safe, take care... 🤙🏍️🤙🏍️❤️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide and greetings from Dumfries Scotland.
Fucking Sick!!! Good job!
LOL,,, Thanks Doug. That day was a Bucket List item for me. :>)
I subscribed. Looking forward to hearing how the Booster Plug turns out. I'm a closet fan of the ST never had a chance to ride one yet... BIG Honda guy though.
@@dougjurcich7479 Thanks Doug. The weather is finally better here in Seattle. I'll get started on building before and after video. Please be patient. This may take a little while due to all the cold mornings. But eventually I'll get it done. Warmest Regards.
The weather is going down the tubes here in Minnesota so I got nothing but time! Do you have suspension work done to you ST? If so what have you got?
@@dougjurcich7479 , Hello Doug, my suspension is 100% stock. On the track, I turned in the factory knob and tightened the suspension a little. It's currently sunny here in Seattle. I started some editing on the Before & After Booster Plug video. I plan on doing a couple of sprints on the bike later today to see if there's an improvement on power. I should be done within the next week. :>)
haha hilarious
Thank you for watching 🤙🏍️
Ever had any issues with the famous “weaving”? Anyway to cure it?
Hello and thank you for watching. Yes, I have experienced the death wobble, but it has been mild on 4 occasions in the past 4 years. I have a video when in Canada of when it happened. See here: ua-cam.com/video/nynLF_Yk3HM/v-deo.html
For me, the wobble will only happen when Solo is with the top box on. The wind goes around your body and slaps the sides of the top box,,, left, right left, right, and causes the death wobble. But goes away when slowing down. When there is a passenger, not wind to slap the top box plus the extra weight. I don't think there is a "cure", other than being aware of it, and slowing down if few MPH, or raising or lowering the windshield and seeing if that helps.
On the racetrack, there are ZERO issues, hence no top box on the track. Thanks again for watching.
@@MotoTouringWorldWide awesome, I’m always riding to lillooet and all over, I’m in Vancouver lol
@@keithquinn5624 , that is my all-time favorite ride. Also Horseshoe to sunshine coast, to Powell river and then I love heading to Nanaimo. My kids and grandchildren are in Victoria. I have a few videos of my Canadian rides on my Video list.
