Any video with the motorcycle journalist/ tester Chris Moss in it is worth a look and listen because when he speaks you don't get any bullshit . Chris Moss always tells it like it is. I always loved that guys honesty and journey man type experience etc. He also has a brilliant sense of humour, where is this guy working now? Perhaps he is retired, anyhow he's a star bloke 👌🌠
I'm a little over 118,000 on my 2003. Still looks good. The Seattle style stoplights on a hill (extreme angles) has the clutch barking. Beyond that everything is solid. You can still pull the front wheel just off the throttle alone.
I bought a 2007 with ABS last fall. The price was right. I owned a 1999 ST1100 for quite a long time. My only three complaints are, why didn't Honda move to common 17 inch tires sizes, why insist on the odd 45w/45w headlight bulbs in the US and why is the display so dim? My Concours 14 has common tire sizes that will be available for a very long time to come. The 190 on the Kawasaki is a bit much and you pay for the extra centimeter. I have to modify new bulbs unless I order them from Honda. Snips take care of it. In a lot of situations I cannot read the display which is useful if you don't want to run out of fuel. I love the seat height adjustment. I have a short inseam and it makes a big difference. It gives me the option of a low seat without having to sacrifice clearance like on my Concours. The engine is so smooth and quiet that I have found myself running highway speeds in third gear. I also love the fuel capacity. Although it isn't under the seat like the original, the fuel doesn't make it too top heavy. With under 6 gallons, my Concours doesn't go far enough when I want to cross the country. The ST1300 goes forever on a tank of fuel. Overall, I love it.
I have the 03, same color. I love standerds and sport bikes, but the St 1300 has it all. It's extremely comfortable, handling is great, really smooth but powerful engine. I can't find another bike I want more. Just turned 50,000 miles,still in love!!
Had a lot of bikes in last thirty years, all regarded as being desirable but I have in all cases been disappointed, the exception is the Pan1300. I will not be changing. Its like a shark, further evolution is not required.

혼다 이거 타고 있는데 진짜 너무 좋아요.
앞으로도 계속 잘 관리하며서 타야죠.

Great bike now I really want one
Was the bike scraping? If so, not the fairing I hope? Or were it his knee pads??
Damn, that's a lens and a half!
Basing a purchase from the likes of this channel , is not advised.
ST1100 ugly? Damn you disqualified yourself instantly .. Virgin or not.
That was John Cantlie, he was kidnapped by isis in 2012 and kept prisoner for years, sadly almost certainly no longer with us 😢
