Bought a 1992 with 65K miles last year for $1750 American, changed the oil and filter, loaded up my sleeping bag and tent, and rode from Texas to Colorado and back. 2000 miles round trip. Loved every minute of it.
It’s amazing to be able to do that in the USA, we have great places to go in the UK but nothing as cool as that . Thanks for watching and ride safe mate .
Brilliant bike... worked one for years. Fast enough... stable.. could ride for ten hour low speed shifts.... excellent bike for any use really. Subsequently changed to an fjr and then an rt but the old pan still holds my heart dear.Subbed and hello from Tipperary 😁
Mayo for Sam and Tipp for Liam Mac.😁 Bought me zx10 from an absolute gent down in Tipp, I'll never part with it, and me ST...same, never part. Me stable is complete now.
Beat Ya!!!.....Just bought, or should I say "Robbed" one for £1099!!!....Sold my Ducati ST4 for £2000 as it hurt my back & also had to dismantle lower & Middle parts of the O/S fairing just to charge the battery, then bought my Stunning Pan for £901 less!!. Got to say, having owned mainly Triumph's, Ducati's etc....This Pan is made for me. It is just so well balanced & easy to ride, I no longer return home to the missus as if I have done a full Gym workout. Just found out I have Osteoarthritis in my back from a Bike v Bus Incident in 1983 plus many years of being a squaddy jumping out of many wonderful forms of transport, & something called Scheuermann's disease from the same incident, the Pan is an absolute godsend!!!......Absolutely love it & for the 1st time in my life (Now 56), I can honestly say....It is a keeper!!!!
@@JonnyLeeguitarist ....BTW.....Mine is a 2001 model, Just Moted it & the pads are low but brakes test was spot on.....An advisory but no other issues. Mint Bikes these!!!
Pickup up a 1991 with 18,000 miles for under $2k. Swapped all the fulids, synch'd the carbs, changed breather elements, air filter, and spark plugs. Runs like an absolute champ.
I've owned two of them already, my current one is from 1997, love it. The previous one died in a flood....rip. Hey Jonny, I am happy with how slow it is, great drive of 600km a day is not a problem at all. Cheers 👍💪✌
Had mine for a couple of weeks now. Just changed the front tyre and brake pads and installed some heated grips. Apart from that, she's all original! And what a cracking bike! Best buy ever. I'm even seriously thinking about selling my Africa Twin....
Bought one of these this time two years ago for me birthday...cost me €900 and I was robbed but its been worth every penny. These things are f-ng savage astonishing bike...they turn like a housefly for a mini elephant of a bike. Have a zx10r as well and I think I've probably had more fun on the ST"D". Mayo for Sam Johnny... love the channel.👍👍 Itll eventually just fall apart and I don't care, I'd be straight out looking for one again...
I just bought one, I ended up buying one from a dealer simply because it was the best one I could find and even though it was obviously more expensive than a private sale it still relatively cheap. In fact I’d been riding a little cb125 for the last year and I managed to sell that private for the same price as I bought the Pan.. myself I really wanted the ABS model, in truth I am not the most skilled rider despite passing my motorbike test over 40 years ago. Any little safety aids are worthwhile in my opinion. That safe feeling that you get on Pan is one of the big appeals, the way it makes everything easy and makes you a better and safer rider. Thank you for your videos, watching videos like yours was immensely useful when I was looking for a bike.
I used to live in Rock Ferry; loved trip down the Old Chester Road. Will be looking for an 1100, my mate has the same opinion as you...........happy riding, Dave
Spend some on new sparks, fresh (cooling/brake/clutch) fluids and oils (incl. front fork and shaft oil - most of em never seen fresh front fork oil in 20+years and it make a world of difference gents!) check the thermostat, maybe a new airfilter, give the rear wheel flange some nice fresh Moly 60 and check the damping rubbers in the real wheel, keep an eye out for any bearing problems, get yourself a rubber swingarm protector to keep the water and dirt away from the weakspots, rinse it after a salty trip and you will be good for thousands of fun miles. Great steal anyhow! Been riding one - ST1100A(Y) - model for 3 years now and don't want anything else. Nothing compares .. You can ride a Pan for hours on end, without a sweat. Brilliant fun. Welcome to the Pan family.
Yeah I’m really loving the Pan , I won’t get rid of my zzr tho , that’s definitely a keeper . But I can see myself getting a new pan after Christmas. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Jonny Lee What way new Jonny? Do you mean another st 1100 or the newer st 1300 ? Would really like to know what you think about the st1100 now in March 2022 after having it for a while. I enjoyed your video and humour also. Thanks in advance for a reply. 😉👍
I bought my '93 ST1100 with 36K for £1500 last August, My first and she is the same colour as yours, Yes they are incredible! She's my year round bike.
Your videos on the st 1100 has convinced me the st is for me currently ride a fj1200 and zzr1100 but in pain on both of them after a bit about to go look at a 2000 pan st 1100 with 36k low owners and tdy condition. My wife heard me laughing at your videos when your on about thats it this is the bike for me keeping this forever then changing a few months later. She said so its not just you theres a whole clan of people like you.. Like your views on things very similar to my own.
bought my ST 1100 three years ago with 75'000km for a whopping 1000 Swiss Francs and invested about the same amount to get it roadworthy (clogged carbs etc...) and have a trailer clutch. Never regretted it. Yes, she is heavy but once you learn not to stop her on a descending slope (you will never get her out of there alone!). On the road and 10'000km later it's just pure fun. And a lot of it.
Wonderful ride video and review. I bet you weren't thinking you were doing a review? Lol. But you did a review. Just bought a 2003 1300 3 weeks ago. Just wow. It had 11000 miles, yep, 11k miles (USA). Not a Pan, just the stock, no electric windshield, no ABS. Heck I had to get on the brakes twice in the past 3 weeks. Who needs ABS? Rock solid, fast, smooth....sportbike/cruiser. I wanted to buy the 1100 many years ago in the 90's. I did not buy it. I had a V65 Honda Sabre for years and just started riding again after 15 years with no bike. I love my 1300
Bought one for 1500 euros, 1996, 66k km’s, last month, same color as yours, and I agree; it doesn’t really feel 28 years old. I was planning to restore a ‘91 Guzzi California and I still hope I’ll get that one in shape, but for now the Pan is filling it’s place 😂
I had a 1998 ST1100 Pan, bought it with 16K on the clock. All I ever had to do to it was plugs and oil changes and I swapped the original collector box out for a stainless job. Put GPS on it and and Autocom intercom into the helmets, mp3 player in the side pocket. Rode it round France a few times over the years, did Belgium to Limoges in one day without it batting an eyelid, my good lady used to sleep on the back on longer hauls. Loved that bike. I remember before I bought it that a Swedish bloke on an ST100 forum posted that he was disappointed that his Pan had its first problem at 330,000 miles! Good enough for me the police and paramedics couldn't be that far wrong, basically bullet proof even if you drop them nothing breaks. 5000 rpm was110mph on the nice French roads. :)
Hey Jonny Lee. Great video and I agree with what you say about the ST1100. (Not a Pan European in Australia.). I bought mine in 2014 (72,000 km) and 5 days later (had not ridden for 16 years) left for Darwin from Adelaide. And return. About 6,000 km. Four of those trips later (last in 2018) and it still feels like the bike for me. 110,000 km now and I think I should get the carbs balanced. Thanks for that input.
I've coincidentally got the 1300 but more to the point, don't waste time trying to fix your green light. I've got another bike with an annoyingly bright green efficiency light (a vacuum gauge basically). A small square of thick cloth gaffer tape will make it near invisible. If you can cope with not knowing when it's in neutral it's a very quick and cheap solution
Pan ST 1100 will go for ever,few years back I was on st-owners site there was a guy in America who had 444,000 miles on his and still going strong,when he bought it it had less than 10,000 on it,he showed photos of speedo..
$2400 dollars for my '97, I added over 10k miles to the 93k miles already on the clock. The only issue I've had with it is the turn signal switch failed after a DELUGE of a rainfall, so bad CARS were pulling under the overpass. I named her Patience. She will get you anywhere you want to go. Just takes some time. Although with a V4 and 100hp/100ftlbs of torque, you'll have fun getting there. 😉
Lol, supprised to see the school my lad works at on a youtube vid. You cant go wrong with older honda's, absolutly bullet proof. I Just bought a 96 VFR750 with 50k on the clock, rides like it has just come out of the showroom. Hondas of the 90's will still be running when all the newer bikes with complex electronics have fried themselves. And when you look at them, they are still as quick as most things out there.
I own a 1991 st1100 Bought it three years ago for 500 euros. Had to weld the rusted exhaust, but the swing arm seems perfect. It has run 167.000km, sounds still ok, but not as smooth as yours. I swapped the handle bar for a bmw k100 to raise the grips a bit. I would love to raise the seat a bit (I am 6’6”). Rear shock will bottom out on bumps. Could be showing its age. I will not sell it, just keep it running and maybe buy something on the side.
ha ha. From a Zed to an old ST. Unless it was beat or never serviced it will go over 100,000 miles with minimal maintenance. It is not a city bike. But after taking one from California to Washington D.C. to Canada and back you will understand why it is a touring legend. And when you suddenly need new brake pads in I-have-never-been-here-before Michigan you can easily find them for a cheap 10 minute fix at any Honda shop. Try that with your German/ Italian or Harley luxury bike. Tip on the carb sync. Save a lot of time and trouble by getting a Synchrometer flow meter. About $37.00 US. Remove the air filter cartrage, like you are going to routine maintenance replace it. That is it. Now adjust to your heart's content using the rubber Honda intake tubes. Very accurate and works like a champ.
That Honda ST1100 is probably one of the best motorcycles ever built. I would ask anyone who has owned one if they could dispute that? I have never owned one, but know people that have and have read much about the bike. It’s not hard to go over 200K miles with basic maintenance and moderate driving. Not bad for a bike you can currently buy in decent shape for $2500. I have, however rode several and they are smooth, fast, nimble for a bike that size and robust.
It's always great to buy and find greater value than expected. I wasn't thinking your humor was funny, but when I got up I saw I peed myself, so you've passed the pee hee hee test.
Yeah , I briefly thought about selling it this summer , but I just can’t let go of it . I love it . Great machine and it will outlive everything. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
did you get the unintended side benefit of heat off of the engine and radiator? I don’t know how the 1100 heat issue is, but I took all the cash. The guy was asking to buy a ST 1300 used back about 2020. it was a hot day. I had my usual riding gear on, and I told the guy I will not be back in less than an hour, you can’t find out what a bike is like, but I’m going up and down the street once. 10 minutes out, I started feeling heat on my legs, my shins, I thought the radiator was leaking water on my legs, hot water, or at least the engine had sprung an oil leak. I pulled over and checked, it was radiator heat penetrating through my Kevlar riding jeans.. I was not in stop and go traffic. I was out in the rolling hillside around Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which is mostly rural farms and open fields.(Yes, that Johnstown, Pennsylvania, site of the dam failure, which caused a massive fatal flood direct hit thru the city in 1889..2209 fatalities.. I immediately turned around and took the machine back. The owner was in his garage when I pulled back into the driveway. He came up with a big smile and said, that was a quick hour. To which I replied, how can you ride this oven?.. his smile was erased as he said, that’s why it’s for sale.. it broke my heart, because that motorcycle was in pristine, beautiful condition, fresh meats, aftermarket, vented, windshield, Sargent seat, color, matched trunk, low mileage, original owner.. I had taken all the cash she was asking for it just in case I had to fork over , because I was already sold just on the pictures and the equipment and the low mileage. I did not want to risk losing it by dickering… but that heat was a dealbreaker. It’s the same reason I never considered an FJR when they first hit the market. Lots of press about the heat issue on that machine. I’ve only had one real crotch roaster. And 80s Honda 700 saber with matching paint on the CBX style fairing, and saddlebag accessories. that was the original bike dealer taught me to take a bike for a ride to get it hot, then decide. Because that Saber that I bought in the winter and really didn’t get a chance to ride it. Only to be heartbroken on the first ride in April. I was wearing my full one piece arlerostitch suit and I could feel the flamethrower heat coming through that suit, which is heavily padded in the shins. I put that motorcycle for sale on eBay, and because it was April, I got a lot more money than I paid for it. The guy paid me in full on paypal.. on one condition. If I could hold the bike so he could drive the 700 miles to pick it up sometime in the future, because he was too busy right now to do it. I said fine. I will never do that again. He did not pick that bike up until The end of July.. my one car garage already has my 1958 mga in it, all my tools, cabinets, and other motorcycles. I had to pull that bike out every time I wanted to get into my toolbox… that’s not the first time something like that happened to me. I sold one of my kids dirt bikes when they grew out of it. it’s sold almost immediately through the local paper that summer. The guy asked me if he could leave it here for a little while, because it’s a surprise for his son. I said sure. It was in my gym, packed garage until Christmas Eve and I did not have his phone number
Jonny I love this video. 1500 quid = $2,064.00 American. That's really sweet tube amp, a really sweet guitar, or a pretty sweet tube amp and guitar. It seems like it has a nice ride. Ride it in good health and say a damn prayer to your Guardian Angel before you do each time mate. He's been puttin' up with your BS even longer than El Wifey has. 🎶🎸🤘😂🤘🎸🎶
Clutch diode is easy to change while balancing the carbs as it's under the fake fuel tank air box cover. I picked up a tatty 99 50th anniversary a couple of years ago, it was on its second swing arm, alternator and fuel tank. I've changed the exhaust system, swingarm again and rebuilt the brakes and replaced the rear ABS modulator, the clutch and the timing belt.
@@anotherhonda9402Yes but this issue is only in countries like UK and up North as too much salt on the streets. UK has the most issue with this problem.
Hello, could you make a video for the problem of the diode of the dead point please because I have the same problem I thank you, the videos are top, good day.
Just purchased my ST 1100 Pan European and decided to check out some rides and reviews. Have to say, yours are the most entertaining, informative and hilarious. 😂 I think mines a girl as I can't find it's penis! 😂😂 Keep up the excellent work. 👍🏻👍🏻
I thank you my I do not c where is this diode, I search on youtube I do not find, if you have photos or video to know if it is necessary to also demonté to access it because it not made a video to suget is a pity, thank you.
not sure what you have expirienced...bur on a cross winds mine ST1100 was like a train on the tracks. More stabile on highspeed then ST1300 will ever be.

I have a ZZR1200 and a 1998 1500 Goldwing, ever ridden one of those?
Its a barge a slow speeds but what a bike when its moving!!!
@Questionablethings I looked at a few goldwings and rode the 1800 , lovely bike .
Just that engine sound, brings back great memories.
Yeah that V4 is awesome .
Spend some on new sparks, fresh (cooling/brake/clutch) fluids and oils (incl. front fork and shaft oil - most of em never seen fresh front fork oil in 20+years and it make a world of difference gents!) check the thermostat, maybe a new airfilter, give the rear wheel flange some nice fresh Moly 60 and check the damping rubbers in the real wheel, keep an eye out for any bearing problems, get yourself a rubber swingarm protector to keep the water and dirt away from the weakspots, rinse it after a salty trip and you will be good for thousands of fun miles.

I will not sell it, just keep it running and maybe buy something on the side.
It will until the end of time
ha ha. From a Zed to an old ST. Unless it was beat or never serviced it will go over 100,000 miles with minimal maintenance. It is not a city bike. But after taking one from California to Washington D.C. to Canada and back you will understand why it is a touring legend. And when you suddenly need new brake pads in I-have-never-been-here-before Michigan you can easily find them for a cheap 10 minute fix at any Honda shop. Try that with your German/ Italian or Harley luxury bike.
Tip on the carb sync.
Save a lot of time and trouble by getting a Synchrometer flow meter. About $37.00 US. Remove the air filter cartrage, like you are going to routine maintenance replace it. That is it. Now adjust to your heart's content using the rubber Honda intake tubes. Very accurate and works like a champ.
Yeah I’ve done the sync , it runs smooth as silk now . Still love this bike … thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Exactly the same as mine.
Same year and colour.
They are a great bike, done 40000 in the last 6 years.
yeah they are amazing , I love this one. thanks for watching.
No need for the bad language it doesn’t improve the viewing experience.
Of course it fucking does
Hmm, rear swing arm? Need to check mine sooner than later 🙂
That Honda ST1100 is probably one of the best motorcycles ever built.
I would ask anyone who has owned one if they could dispute that?
I have never owned one, but know people that have and have read much about the bike. It’s not hard to go over 200K miles with basic maintenance and moderate driving. Not bad for a bike you can currently buy in decent shape for $2500.
I have, however rode several and they are smooth, fast, nimble for a bike that size and robust.
I agree
Johhny Lee, you're my kind of people. I could give a good shit about the motorcycle review, I'm here for the personality. Cheers!
Cheers mate
I really like your accent. Thinking about buying this bike. A 1990 one
Cheers mate , you should definitely buy it , you won’t regret it at all . Thanks for watching.
@@JonnyLeeguitarist and i did indeed :D
@@technokitten2038 excellent!
It's always great to buy and find greater value than expected. I wasn't thinking your humor was funny, but when I got up I saw I peed myself, so you've passed the pee hee hee test.
The pee pee test is a serious thing ! 😬
Bought one the weekend, 99 plate, as u said don't know why I like them but I've always have, £1600, swing arm done can't go wrong.
Yeah , I briefly thought about selling it this summer , but I just can’t let go of it . I love it . Great machine and it will outlive everything. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.
Your zzr is a beast aswell, gotta love big kwaks.
@@Jasper-ow2jl yeah that thing is mental . I just had the ECU flashed and it’s terrifying.
That's a good purchase. Keep us in the loop.
Yeah there’s a follow up video coming soon .
did you get the unintended side benefit of heat off of the engine and radiator? I don’t know how the 1100 heat issue is, but I took all the cash. The guy was asking to buy a ST 1300 used back about 2020. it was a hot day. I had my usual riding gear on, and I told the guy I will not be back in less than an hour, you can’t find out what a bike is like, but I’m going up and down the street once.
10 minutes out, I started feeling heat on my legs, my shins, I thought the radiator was leaking water on my legs, hot water, or at least the engine had sprung an oil leak. I pulled over and checked, it was radiator heat penetrating through my Kevlar riding jeans.. I was not in stop and go traffic. I was out in the rolling hillside around Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which is mostly rural farms and open fields.(Yes, that Johnstown, Pennsylvania, site of the dam failure, which caused a massive fatal flood direct hit thru the city in 1889..2209 fatalities..
I immediately turned around and took the machine back. The owner was in his garage when I pulled back into the driveway. He came up with a big smile and said, that was a quick hour. To which I replied, how can you ride this oven?.. his smile was erased as he said, that’s why it’s for sale..
it broke my heart, because that motorcycle was in pristine, beautiful condition, fresh meats, aftermarket, vented, windshield, Sargent seat, color, matched trunk, low mileage, original owner.. I had taken all the cash she was asking for it just in case I had to fork over , because I was already sold just on the pictures and the equipment and the low mileage. I did not want to risk losing it by dickering… but that heat was a dealbreaker. It’s the same reason I never considered an FJR when they first hit the market. Lots of press about the heat issue on that machine. I’ve only had one real crotch roaster. And 80s Honda 700 saber with matching paint on the CBX style fairing, and saddlebag accessories.
that was the original bike dealer taught me to take a bike for a ride to get it hot, then decide. Because that Saber that I bought in the winter and really didn’t get a chance to ride it. Only to be heartbroken on the first ride in April. I was wearing my full one piece arlerostitch suit and I could feel the flamethrower heat coming through that suit, which is heavily padded in the shins. I put that motorcycle for sale on eBay, and because it was April, I got a lot more money than I paid for it. The guy paid me in full on paypal.. on one condition. If I could hold the bike so he could drive the 700 miles to pick it up sometime in the future, because he was too busy right now to do it. I said fine. I will never do that again. He did not pick that bike up until The end of July.. my one car garage already has my 1958 mga in it, all my tools, cabinets, and other motorcycles. I had to pull that bike out every time I wanted to get into my toolbox…
that’s not the first time something like that happened to me. I sold one of my kids dirt bikes when they grew out of it. it’s sold almost immediately through the local paper that summer. The guy asked me if he could leave it here for a little while, because it’s a surprise for his son. I said sure.
It was in my gym, packed garage until Christmas Eve and I did not have his phone number
Yeah it was warm around the legs
A true man about town
A distinguished gentleman
Got the pan 1300 grate bikes also have the Honda nt 700 deauville you would not have been disappointed mate the fev rider.
1300 is definitely next for me .
Jonny I love this video. 1500 quid = $2,064.00 American. That's really sweet tube amp, a really sweet guitar, or a pretty sweet tube amp and guitar. It seems like it has a nice ride. Ride it in good health and say a damn prayer to your Guardian Angel before you do each time mate. He's been puttin' up with your BS even longer than El Wifey has. 🎶🎸🤘😂🤘🎸🎶
Always glad to make it home in one piece 😎
Clutch diode is easy to change while balancing the carbs as it's under the fake fuel tank air box cover.
I picked up a tatty 99 50th anniversary a couple of years ago, it was on its second swing arm, alternator and fuel tank.
I've changed the exhaust system, swingarm again and rebuilt the brakes and replaced the rear ABS modulator, the clutch and the timing belt.
I’ll definitely start on the jobs in the next few weeks , unless I buy a st1300 😀
I would like to know what goes wrong with the swing arm?
@@richardcasey7521 Corrodes from the inside out
@@anotherhonda9402Yes but this issue is only in countries like UK and up North as too much salt on the streets. UK has the most issue with this problem.
Hello, could you make a video for the problem of the diode of the dead point please because I have the same problem I thank you, the videos are top, good day.
You have to replace the diode , not a big job really . There’s a few videos on TH-cam showing how to do it .
If my Varadero is deemed a right off I will be buying one of these.
You’ll love it
Cool running , brill bike 👍
Cheers buddy

I thank you my I do not c where is this diode, I search on youtube I do not find, if you have photos or video to know if it is necessary to also demonté to access it because it not made a video to suget is a pity, thank you.
Don't forget to replace the air filters before balancing... I love my ST1100, the ultimate DILLIGAF bike!
Yeah it’s had a full service and carb balance , runs like a champ . Great bike .
