Honda ST-1300

I was told by on ol' biker back in 109 that there is hardly any difference at all between the Connie, the ST1300, of the FRJ... it just depends which one makes you feel sexy. I bought an '06 ST when I got back from a 12 days ride, mostly through East Tn. & West N.C. She had 5400 miles and was sp...otless. Seriously, the only real problem I am having is watching the speed-o-meter and keeping her from running away with me. Double-wow! My 1st Sport Tour. I kept my 07' Cow 1600. I need 2 bikes while running over 20k miles per year here in N. Fl. My next bike will be another (new) ST1300. I am sold. 7.7 gallon gas tank. Cruise's @ 80 mph @4.1k rpm's. I can stop her dead anytime, never put a foot down, re-sccel and take back off. Nimble, nimble, nimble with twisting through a p'ing lot. I went 2 up the 3rd day I had her. No problems there either. By the way; I am 52 yrs. old & 6'4". I am extremely comfortable while riding. I put 1200 miles on it the 1st 4 days. & the topped out retractable windscreen is still 2-3 inches over my helmet.
SWEET! Sadly; it's hard to find any dealers that allow test rides. I took a chance on what that ol' biker told me about the 09' ST he was on - in East Tn. sportin' a Texas temp tag. He was 2k into that bike and was still smiling.
He was in his early 60's & part of a 7 man group. Read Full Review

Love it!

I have been riding for about 10 years and really loved my Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. However, after getting on a Honda ST1300, I definitely wanted to upgrade. My 2006 Honda ST1300 is a very easy bike to ride and I love the adjustable windshield. I do think that this bike would be much more enjoyable i...n a cooler climate than Biloxi, MS though. The engine puts off a lot of heat; much more than my V-Strom ever did. I have Two Brothers exausts and integrated foldout highway bars. I am hoping to mount a radio and put speakers into the designated dash slots. Read Full Review
