I love to hear your enthusiasm for your ST1300 and your joy riding it fast. I have ridden this bike for years and love everything about it except when I get caught behind a semi-truck on the highway. It does get some oscillation if you get caught behind a truck for any distance like when a truck is passing another truck on a two lane road. I just lighten up on the grips and let it do its thing until the traffic clears. Stay safe and keep enjoying your ride.
The classic Pan European. It was the bike of choice in the UK for Police, Medical response, Blood transport, Military police and convoy escort, The automobile association (breakdown recovery service), dispatch riders and is still a common choice for motorcycle instructors. Great video 👍
Nice to hear from you Green String: they where also used in the States for police work, but then Honda stopped producing them in 2013 the police agencies in the United States turn to the BMW 1200 GS. Have an amazing day brother.
absolutely!!!!! hopefully at the end of this month I will be installing a trailer hitch, and getting a camping trailer...so keep watching! Thanks for the comment.
You and I are much the same, I add a new bike every chance I can. Try some trail riding stuff they make some great 50/50 bikes now. I love mt st1300 as well but it needs some tlc this winter new clutch slave cyl all hose for cooling. Also adding Led lights. It has 68000 miles on it motor runs as new incredible motor.
Awesome!... Yes I have been researching some 50/50 tires. Here in Michigan I'm limited to certain types of campgrounds with the current tires I have on my ST1300, and I know certain campgrounds would open up to me if I had a 50/50 tire, at that point I could hit some of those fire lane roads. Thanks for the awesome comment keep the rubber side down stay safe my brother.
I have one, too. Rode about 20k Miles on it. It is a very good bike. A little heavy if you stand. And the seating position for guys with long legs is not optimal imho. But awesome Bike!
Good morning that’s a fantastic write-up I’ve got a ST 1300 as well here in England I’m going away touring tomorrow to the west country which is the area called Cornwall Devon and Somerset these are three counties beautiful ride lots of bikes and the forecast is good weather thank you for sharing your video have a great day 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🏍
Thanks for the great review! I just bought a 2003 from the original owner, who had EVERY record of every service ever done on the bike. He put new Road Pilot 4's on it before winter storage, so I don't have to worry about tires for a while. Your comments about the weight of the bike shifting with a full tank is bang on! I've never had a bike's centre of gravity change so much with a full tank. I've had a 2008 VTX 1800, a 2009 Goldwing, among several other rides and this one is by far, the fastest. The one thing that bothers me after limited riding is the clutch. It seems very heavy and needs to be pulled in completely when making a gear change. My left had gets a real workout in city riding. Maybe it's due for a fluid change? Looking forward to more of your videos!
I've found the same thing with the clutch on my new to me bike. The fluid kind of looks like it needs changing and I plan on doing it soon. Have you changed the clutch fluid in your bike yet and if so did it make any difference. Anyone else have this experience with the heavy and long pull clutch?
I own an ST1100, I just bought a pristine like new 2010 ST 1300 for 7 K. People say I paid too much, I don't think so. 2 thousand miles and is perfect. See you out there friends....
The price of a brand new 2010 St1300 in 2010 was $17,699.00 MSRP. If you sold that in 2010 with 7000 miles on it, the dealer would sell it for $16,000.00, so I look at like you got a new bike for $7000.00, and save $10,000! Blessing to you, and your family
I've had 2 st1100s both got 200.000km then onsold. One Transalp one Trumpy.. one Honda 185cc trial about 20 cars 2 trucks one bus. All with well into the 300.000km on each.. like i said i wear them out I don't break them I drive ride them etc..
Thanks for your video and your narrative, I'm considering buying an 09 ST1300 in Illinois. I currently own a 92 Honda GL1500 Aspencade and a 97 BMW K1100 LT. I love both of them but I really want to get out of a big touring bike and into a sport touring bike. Your input is appreciated. Ride safe!
Thank you so much for the sub, and thank you for the kind words. You would not be disappointed if you got a wonderful ST 1300 I mean it is a awesome piece of Machinery it sporty it's comfortable I love it and I'm sure with the bikes that you have had the past you would consider this an awesome bike stay well and be blessed
Awesome video, I am thinking of changing my 1998 VFR 800 FI for an ST 1300. My dad used to have the ST 1100 here in the UK and it was a fantastic bike. Ride safe and peace and love from Liverpool, England 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 💘
Great video! I'm considering buying one of these motorcycles, and your information and perspectives are very helpful. Looks like the ST 1300 glides smoothly over those rough Detroit roads.
Thank you so very much!...I LOVE the ST1300, the torque, and the power is AWESOME for such a big heavy bike. Like I said it's not a real sport bike, it is!..you must ride one to understand. Thank you once again for the kind words. GET ONE!!!!.... LOL
I loved my ST and I agree with almost everything you say except the seat - it didn't work for me but a used Corbin set me up just right. I put 10,000 miles on it going around the States in 2018 and it was a tremendous trip. I'm down to a CB500 now which works for me where I'm living now on Vancouver Island but I do miss the ST . . .
Thank you for the comment! Have you seen the new Honda NT1000?.. and do you know if it is suppose to take the place of the ST1300?... cause if it is...man Honda really screwed the pooch on this one!...that's just my opinion....lol
@@SoloBlack313 No, but I just had a look on Google. I think it goes head to head with a GS 850 or a scaled back Africa Twin. NO where near as sexy as the ST . . .

Agree love this bike I bought my st1300 in Oct 2020, at 63 years old after being off bikes for 14 years, was so nervous on test and first few rides But found a few 1/2 hour sessions in deserted car parks slow manoeuvring and u turns iv increased my skills and confidence And now keep fuel tank well below half full due to weight. Still to drop it but at very slow speeds only use back brake and keep front wheel straight or you will go down. Keep up videos ride safe
@mac243877, I'm almost in the same boat as you. I've owned a few bikes in my life, my last 'big' bike was an '81 Gold Wing GL1100 Interstate in '91. I stopped riding in '94, resumed in 2014, am currently on a PCX150 but looking at a 2009 ST1300 for weekend, fair-weather trips. I found it a little top heavy in the showroom but expect I'll get used to it. I'm approaching this purchase with a healthy dose of respect and trepidation. ;)
@@Visionery1 try your best to get the ST1300, I think you will find it most rewarding! When you get used to the weight, and the bike itself, you will yourself leaning into the corners, going at (get a ticket) speeds all while in comfort!..LOL..blessing to you, and your family.
I have exact same clone bike as you including Givi Top Box, but with leather Sargent seat and MCL Sport Touring Highway Blades. But the Cherry for the ST 1300 before any after market is The Two Brother Racing exhaust. They have a very pronounced growl that compliments the V4, very Porsche like. I also run with a Harley Crew and they pay respect in High Mountain passes and twisties in British Columbia last summer
@@SoloBlack313 I’ve been going through your vids and now a subscriber, you received a smoking deal on the Delkevics and they sound the same as my Two Brothers as per your latest vid when you pulled into the parking lot sounded like my bike. You’ve cloned my bike completely; you’ll notice that you’ll keep your speed down in city by the sound now. The only music that I listen to are the two cans of after market, that make V4 Honda into a whole other animal. I’ve had 70’s vintage Honda 750 4’s and kept my new purchase 82 750 Nighthawk up until recently. So I know what the Honda growl is all about, what you’ll get with The Delkevics is the evolution of the Honda growl. My Harley peeps say it sounds like a Porsche with attitude, when I’m running Captain through High Mountain passes in BC up hill around big bends in passing lanes and they gauge accordingly
@@chriscowden101 the torque on the ST1300 will have a noticeable difference then the NT700, especially 1st gear, but you get used to it, and manage it like a champ!!!
Добрый день. Смотрю ваш канал. В прошлом году купил такую же honda st1300, 2004 год, синий цвет пробег 6000 миль из Америки. У меня вопрос, возможно вы продали свой мотоцикл и я его купил?
Excellent overview of the big ST13. The brakes are REALLY good, indeed. Just remember to keep that fluid flushed every couple of years. You are a tough man if you can handle that stock seat, my friend. 😀 In the heat of the summer the bike does ride ALOT cooler with the top tank full of gas. Enjoy that big ST. How many miles on it?
Thanks mate! When I got it last june in had 39750 miles(63971 kilometers) now I have right at 47000miles(75639 kilometers). The comfort of the seat is no problem for me, but I might change it for a heated seat.
LOL...I have not, or will not ever tell someone not to get a certain motorcycle. What this video is about is the reason I would not buy the NT1100. I had a 2006 V Rod back in 2008, and I LOVE it....If the opportunity comes up I would got another. As of 4-14-23 I just got a 2003 Suzuki GSXR 600, and I still have my Honda 2001 Shadow ACE750, and my 2004 Honda St1300. The St1300 is just better at being a sport touring motorcycle than the NT1100. The V Rod is not a sport tourer, its a muscle cruiser. Thanks for the comment, ride safe bruh.
@@SoloBlack313 Gotcha. I also have a 03 Lowrider and now have to figure out how to explain to the Mrs why I “Need” to add a sports tourer to the collection 🤪. Stay safe
I have a 2006 st1300 with 22000 miles on it, the seat is in good condition but within 30 minutes everything below the belt starts going numb . Do you like the givi top box. I'm thinking about getting one so my wife will get on it . Thanks for taking us along for the ride .
The ST1300 is an awesome bike, the only thing I don't like about the bike is that it is so dang quiet!!.... I soon will be installing some delkvic exhaust!.. I love e the 45liter Givi top case that came with bike, it makes camping so much better! All the best to you, and your family.
@@SoloBlack313 hey solo I just wanna ask you again about using the clutch when shifting from second,third and up to the last high gear,what I mean is are you using cltch every time you shift gear thank you man!or if you don't mind can we speak via messenger or facebook?
At the time when I made the video I live right across the street from the city Airport so I can make it to 10 and Hoover in about 10 minutes now I live in Indian village about 20 minutes now depending on how I drive
I am 6'tall, and there are 3 seat adjustments, and even at the highest I have no problems flat footing the bike, but at 700lbs it is still a pretty heavy bike!...lol. Stay safe.
Yes I have heard of some of these ST1300 they have a wobble at high speed I myself have gotten my bike up to over 140 miles an hour continuously and never had a wobble that does not mean ST1300 don't wobble I just never had one but there is a simple fix for that wobble at any speed it is called a super brace you may or may not have heard of it or know what it is but it's a brace that goes between your front forks that improves steering and will stop any wobble I do not have a super brakes on my bike as of yet but this summer for insurance I will be installing one they have very many brand names the one I'm getting is called the super brace and it's about $200
This Newby has a lot to learn before he starts doing reviews.. nothing see here 4000 miles in 4 months your kidding aren't you.. sounds like a weekend warrior.. thats 33.3 miles a day.. I do four times that just going for coffee or breakfast.. 225.000km in 16 months I wear bikes out mine gets serviced every month at 6,000km to 10,000km
Lol!!! This is not a review, I don't do bike reviews!!...lol.. I just share my thoughts on one of my three bikes, and the St1300 was a new purchase at the time I did that video!...lol..4,000 mi in 4 months riding three different bikes it's not that bad plus I'm not in the competition to put miles on my bike with anybody!...lol...I live in Detroit Michigan and here we have winter time and I ride all my bikes throughout the year even the winter thanks for the comment.

Yes I have heard of some of these ST1300 they have a wobble at high speed I myself have gotten my bike up to over 140 miles an hour continuously and never had a wobble that does not mean ST1300 don't wobble I just never had one but there is a simple fix for that wobble at any speed it is called a super brace you may or may not have heard of it or know what it is but it's a brace that goes between your front forks that improves steering and will stop any wobble I do not have a super brakes on my bike as of yet but this summer for insurance I will be installing one they have very many brand names the one I'm getting is called the super brace and it's about $200
@@SoloBlack313 no I wasn't aware of the brace however it's good to know that for the future. Thanks so much for the information.

This Newby has a lot to learn before he starts doing reviews.. nothing see here 4000 miles in 4 months your kidding aren't you.. sounds like a weekend warrior.. thats 33.3 miles a day.. I do four times that just going for coffee or breakfast.. 225.000km in 16 months I wear bikes out mine gets serviced every month at 6,000km to 10,000km
Lol!!! This is not a review, I don't do bike reviews!!...lol.. I just share my thoughts on one of my three bikes, and the St1300 was a new purchase at the time I did that video!...lol..4,000 mi in 4 months riding three different bikes it's not that bad plus I'm not in the competition to put miles on my bike with anybody!...lol...I live in Detroit Michigan and here we have winter time and I ride all my bikes throughout the year even the winter thanks for the comment.
