Thanks! For me, the 1100 is getting quite old. I would try to pick up a well maintained 1300 from as new year as possible. They do start getting expensive but you can find the dirt cheap sometimes. Good luck!

I have just got a st 1100 some prefer it to st 1300 looks more modern but I don't think massive difference there video where guy compares both .

Omg am 6.1 and 116 kg and parked my st 1100 on down slope by sand so chouldint go forward or u turn omg it was heavy to move .I wonder if it's a better than gw apart from amazing seat they have for pillon .cause there even heavier.i still haven't got my gl 1200 going but have to say I be nervous first ride more around town .

@@patrickmalone9380 Yeah Ive heard its still an incredible bike :)

@@patrickmalone9380 I only made that mistake once lol. The 1300 with a full tank is so heavy. I had to turn it around on a narrow dirt path as well which was fun. Amazingly didnt drop the thing!

It always reminded me of a coach/bus engine lol. Such a great powerplant. Still love the whine to it although I know some didnt like it.

Thanks! Is a nice inner city route. Just wanted a nice mix of roads. Are you from London yourself?

Hi, if you search 'motorcycle crossbar' you will find many different ones. The exact one I got is no longer available but all the ones on there are the same basically. Just make sure it has the length adjusters.

Hi. Sorry the bike has now sold and has gone to its new owner :(

If you look around yo can get them quite cheaply.

They are incredible bikes. I miss mine already TBH but feel like I have a ton of space in the garage now. Thats the only down side with the ST is they are big and quite heavy (but not as bad as a lot of people make out). But good luck picking one up, they are getting quite cheap now :)

They are a solid bike. Mine’s still going strong from new. The problem with them is once you have one it’s hard to justify another bike. They just do everything you need!! And they keep going in true Honda fashion. Very well engineered but can be a bit of a pain to work on (but most bikes are in some way a PITA to work on!).

@@GodzillaGoesGaga Yeah, just got one. I can see what you mean. Should have bought this years ago. 2004 ABS model in dark blue. Bike rocks.

@@stevemitchellhomes8249 Awesome. Have fun woth your new toy! 😁

I think you’ll really regret selling it. It’s a toy that you should keep forever!

Yeah even 100K miles for one of them is easily achievable. Shes already gone now :(

I’m looking at a 2005 with 41k, it will be my first st, been riding Harley’s for 30 years

@@dags6439 I’d suggest you go and join ST-Owners group. Lot’s of good Q&A there with a lot of expertise (seriously good people and knowledge).

I just attached a crossbar to the handlebars and use a standar phone holder with my phone running Google Maps. I do have a standalone satnav for any euro trip/tours as a backup. Hope that helps!

Thanks! I got one of the steel handlebar cross bars from Amazon and mounted it using a pair of T-Bolt hose clamps (35-40mm) . Gives you a full accessory bar without having to pay through the teeth for an expensive aftermarket Pan-specific mount. Was proper solid and highly reccomend getting this cross bar!

Hi, they are incredible bikes. Unfortunately mine has now gone to a new owner :( You can pick these up so cheap now so you should be able to find one at a bargain price!

Thanks Chief! Great minds think alike haha. I will check out your vids :)

Such a quality machine. Thanks!

Ride a Gold Wing right now. Got away from Harleys because the climate in Florida is too hot IMHO to not have a liquid cooled engine. I love Honda & would like to buy an ST1300 but I keep hearing about HEAT issues. It’s fine in winter but I prefer to ride on warm days. Do you ride when it’s in the 80s or warmer & if so do you have any problems with engine heat? Thanks for any help that you can offer.

@@r.williamcomm7693 Would love a Goldwing! They are super expensive and would take up all my garage space so will probably have to wait a few years. But will definately have one some day!

Thinking seriously about jumping from Harley to the st, I just need to ride one first just to make sure of the riding position

@@dags6439 I had a metric cruiser 1500cc before my ST1300 and I will say the ST ergos are really good. I was surprised thinking it would be more uncomfortable but actually it’s better on your back!! I think they got the seat and handlebar positions correct whereas cruisers you are straighter arm’d.

You must have a big garage! Was a big ole bike so having two must be a handful :)

Thanks for the sub! I really dont want to sell it to be honest. I know I will end up buying another one 5-10 years down the line. Will be very sad to see it go 😪

@@potatobik3r728 They won’t be available i. 5-10 years time!! Be warned.

It is a bit scratched up and missing the barrel/locking mechanism. I got a new barrel which fitted great but could not souce a new locking latch/mechanism. I would advise having a good quality aftermarket one instead. The GIVI monokey system is a lot more secure. Thanks

Hi. They are all the exact same colour. May just be the lighting or the gopro. In person its all matching :)

Thanks! Its a great bike and I will dearly miss it. I got the Bluetooth remote from amazon. Just search 'Bluetooth remote button' and plenty will come up. I went for the waterproof one. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the kind comment. I thought its going to be very boring as its just as much info for the next owner. Glad you picked one up, they are incredible bikes! As long as the engine oil, filter and final drive oil is done, they will just eat the miles. However, one overlooked part is the rear shock preload adjuster. If your planning to bring a lot of baggage or pillion, make sure the shock preload adjuster is serviced/working. If you fully wind it out (anticlockwise), then start slowly adding preload with clockwise turns. You should feel pressure/resistance after about 2-3 clicks. If it takes ages to feel any turning resistance, it means the oil in the preload adjust is gone. Its easy to service yourself but just be careful to not overtighten the banjo bolt. Also, check brakes for any drag. Finally make sure your drain plug is clear at the top of the petrol tank. spray some WD40 in there every few months to keep it from corrosion. Thats some easily missed bits anyway!

Thank you!! Will look out for those! 👍

@@potatobik3r728 Oil, oil filter, final drive oil, spark plugs and air filter and liquids topped off. Get proper lubes done when tires get changed too (wheels have to come off).

Thanks Manny. Great vids and I hit the subscribe button :) Yours looks like its in great condition. The dry conditions over there must help. The constant rain and sludge is always an uphill battle over here. Ride safe

Ah this would be the perfect bike for the huge distances across the pond :) Must have been a great adventure! Would love to do some touring over there.

@@potatobik3r728 There is STill many rides here I hope to do someday. I drove a car in the UK once, and folks honked at me a few times, ha.

@@EverettBaland Haha yeah the drivers over here can be a bit ruthless. Think I would cause a bit of chaos if I was driving it the US :)

@@potatobik3r728 Well you might fit right in. Many motorists here are unsupervised humans.

I’ve done multi thousand mile trips on mine. California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah as a loop and then up to Canada and back along the West coast. This bike is a mile muncher and is perfect for distance work!

Hi, very sorry for the late reply! I hope you manage to get one! They are fun bikes :)

Hi mate, no I never had that issue. However, I'm not the tallest guy so my short legs wouldn't get that far! Bar risers would be a good idea. Good luck!

@@potatobik3r728 Cheers

That would be really nice to be able to ride one without a licence!

Thanks mate. This video was way too long but was just for an ebay sale. I have some more time now so might make some shorter vids. Take care

Very sorry for the late reply but I got in the back of a Hyundai Ioniq. They are bigger than expected but I think it would fit.

It'll fit in a Suzuki Jimny with the seats down, just 😅

Ah nice! I prefer the looks of the bongo as I love the old Honda Z50 etc. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the subscribe as well!
