I just picked up my 2005 with 20K miles , dark metallic red, for $4,000. Its nice... I already went on the million dollar highway in Colorado where I live.
@mikehynek congratulations you found a nice bike.. if you know anyone else looking for a clean st1300, my buddy has one of my old bikes that has low miles and mint.
Enjoy her brother ..... I am so happy for you and they are such wonderful bikes...... Love her and take care of her and she will never let you down !!!!! ....... Bless you brother !!!!!! ....I have a 2006 with 70K and man do I love her ......
I rode my niebors and that is the most powerful bike I ever rode in my life,the sheer power it has is absolutely insane, makes my CR 500 look like a moped.
@@Johnclark300 For me, the smoothness of the ride is a huge value. It is a fairly heavy bike, probably too much for new riders. However, I was reasoning with a coworker to test ride one before getting tied into a $250+ monthly payment for a Harly.
If it's an 2006, why does it have 2004 plastic on it? 2006's were black! I started on ST1300s back in November with a new 2005. I put over 174.3K miles on it before selling it to one of my sons. He has over 190K on it now. I've owned four other ST1300s and have a total of over 398,000 miles on the 5 of them! I still own a 2012 (was black, turned it 2005 red - ALL NEW PLASTIC) & a 2004 (blue). Hope you are still enjoying your ST1300!
Cool! But you need to refill rear shock pre-load. It shouldn't spin so easily, especially on a sidestand (when shock has load). There is a number of YT videos how to do it.
I hope to God you pulled the trigger on that thing. I've owned 11 different motorcycles through my 20 something year riding carrer and no other bike claimed the title of "forever bike" until the ST came to my attention. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?
its my 1st bike only been riding since july, but almost every day. im hooked. got it for a grand at 70k so i quickly added another 35oo miles . plan on doin some solo cross country exploring next year....... yes never sell the good stuff@@ohiobackroads1548
@@ohiobackroads1548 I've still got my 2019 Versys. Have considered upgrading, but just can't find anything else that's a better overall value :). Doing a 2 week trip to the west coast and back in September, so can't wait for that. So what other bikes do you still have in the garage now?
I owned one for a short time traded for a goldwing. Big mistake. About two years ago I started looking for an another nice used st but I wasn’t having any luck. I knew about the Fjr 1300 and was seeing about the same amount of those on occasion. Last summer I found a clean 2007 Fjr with low mileage and bought that instead of the Honda. After now having had both I can tell you there is a slight difference between the two bikes in performance. The fjr is a little more sport and the st is a little more touring. Both are comfortable. I’m just curious but why didn’t you go with an Fjr? They still make them.
There's no reason. I purchased 5 ST 1300s last year. They were located close to home and just lucky to find clean low mileage bikes. I'm not looking, but there is a one owner st 1300 close to me that is for sale and only has 4000 miles. My next bike will be a Goldwing DCT.
Love my V-4 1300 , smoothest bike I ever rode . I’m 77 and still riding almost daily as well as long hauls .
Good for you. I love these bikes. Bit of a pig to move in driveway but weight vanishes fast. Keep on keeping on.
There’s hope for me then 67
I just picked up an 04 Blue with only 22,800 miles. Bike is awesome.
Congratulations.... you found a needle in a hey stack. Great bike and low miles
I just picked up a 04 with 56000km

It's summer in NZ and I find myself with the screen right down more often than not. Noisier, sure, but...
I bought a 2005 in red. Great touring bikes and sad that Honda never continued the lineage with more CC's and creature comforts.
Awesome bike. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Greetings from Albany Western Australia, and congratulations, good score! Mines a white 06 😊
I have the same bike. Red line comes quick! Blue is 2004 only. Very nice indeed!
How many miles do you have on your bike
@@ohiobackroads1548 I think it's about 68,000.
I came with a pile of paperwork for every service it ever had since new.
@Bora_H I have a friend that has 174000 miles and still has factory spark plugs... runs like new
My fingers itch just thinking of that. I almost always put Iridium plugs into any engine I have... 😀

2004... Congrats buddy! Enjoy!

Try riding one with stripped off plastic, no luggage, and with open exhaust! Rides COMPLETELY different.
@maxmeeks9910 either way it's nothing but engine, that thing would easily take a challenger no problem off the line.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that. Will look at the adjustment.
I don't mind paying premium for a low mileage Pan. But some owners ask crazy money. I love them. And will always have one.
Sold mine last week 03 with 126k miles $2400 (awesome bike) but got 17' Triumph Trophy
Awsome...all those miles with smiles...what's next.
Looking forward the road trip. West bound and down!
Biggest mistake of my life was spending nearly 15k on a Harley 2 years ago instead of getting a ST1300
Nice bike.
Do you have any plans to ride in the smokies this year.
@@ohiobackroads1548 hopefully in October. Hopefully.
Congrats! Check your tires! lol
Thanks sam

Thanks for watching my videos. I $3800
Just purchased another st1300. $4000 czcams.com/video/ZD0WBo5H2G4/video.html
i got a blue one too .....love it
Great bikes and color. If you have a nice bike, keep it because they are getting harder to find.

Congrats on the new bike! I actually love the blue color - that bike is def in cherry condition for a 2006. What happened to your red one?
Thanks... still on the hunt for a versys 1000. Looking at on Monday

The Yamaha, FJR is way better than this motorcycle
St leans heavily into the touring in sport touring
Fjr leans into the sport in sport touring 🤷🏼♂️ both are great in their own respects
