General Comments:

It runs like it's new still, the gas MPG is just awesome for this type of bike. I have 2 other bikes, a ZX14 and Goldwing, and I ride this one more. This bike has not aged, still looks great, and I get many people saying to me that it looks new.

Faults:

Battery went bad, which made the alternator go out.

Replaced headlights, tail lights.

General Comments:

Still an awesome bike; without knowing the miles on it, you would never know it.

Gas MPG and range are far better than most.

Faults:

Headlights burnt out in 2010.

Thermostat in 2012.

General Comments:

This has been the most reliable, most enjoyable, best handling motorcycle I've owned. I never put this many miles on anything before. It runs today as good as ever.

Faults:

One of the headlights burnt out last year - 2008.

General Comments:

Comfy, quick, fast, reliable, still looking good.

Good MPG, I never put this many miles on any bike before.

Faults:

One of the low beam headlights burnt out in fall of 2008.

General Comments:

Very stable, fast, awesome gas mileage; an average of 48 mpg.

This is a sport touring bike, not a sport bike.

I replaced the air filter with a K&N, and replaced the exhaust with two brothers when it had 16k on the trip. Big improvement on power.

Still has the original battery, front tires wears out at 12-15 k, and the rear is around 9k.

Faults:

I had the wiring harness pinched and cut after it was serviced, and had Helibars added.

General Comments:

I really love the ST1300's range.

I have not experienced the heat issue others have reported.

The bike handle so well at low speeds, it's hard to believe it weighs 630 lbs.

I find that the gauges can be hard to read when the sunlight is behind you, so thank God for analog tach and speedo.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

This bike is a 2004, sold new in 2006. I purchased this blue model in the summer of 2007. The bike is stock.

At first, after being snowed by its features, I began to notice the one thing that really bothers me. The front forks offer no compliance to road surfaces and offer quite a choppy ride. Now this has proven fine in the twisties, but this is more of a touring bike and I would like a smoother ride. My BMW was a beautifully handling bike and in comparison this Honda is a truck.

Also, it annoys me that heated grips and power adapters don't come stock on this level of motorcycle.

I tried to sell it, but no interest. Guess what, after a 1,000 miles I am beginning to enjoy the smooth deceptive motor and the unending torque it provides. The handling is growing on me too, and if only the forks were smoother I think I might love it.

The seat does begin to burn after an hour, but no one took a cast of my butt before building the stocker.

After all, I think this may be the best sport tourer out there.
