I just bought this Honda ST1300. The difference is indescribable. It's like sitting in my easy chair. AND it does very well in the twisties. AND it's hard to keep it below 90 mph!!! I paid $7300 and the high retail was $8100. 16,445 miles now 17,800+ in 3 weeks. 47.3 mpg!!!! AND there is NO...
Hit the road at 4:59. still 70 degrees outside WTF?. Went East on I-40 for 34 miles to Moriarty. It took that long to get up the nerve to stop!!! When you come to a stop your legs want to hit the fairings so you have to be mentally aware of just before the bike stops. Much different and I'm...
I love the FJR also. Couldn't afford $12,900 OTD that the dealer offered me last weekend!! This ST1300 is a different animal for sure. Feels like a tank!!! I came home 5 miles down Central (Old US Route 66) and 45 mph felt like 20 mph on the Fazer!!!! God what have I done?! LOL. It's 4:42 am and...
Well, picked her up this morning at 10. What a different bike!! It's HUGE. But it should work well for my longer trips. You should have seen the looks my FZ was giving me the last few days when I would go to the garage to get a beer. She knew what was coming!!! lol. I found out just how fast the...
I know its a high price for this economy! The Dealer just won't deal! The high retail is $8100. And it has the Givi top box as well. Low miles, etc., is why Dealer won't come down I think. He sells 120 used bikes/year so maybe he knows something?
I haven't told anyone here, but I'm going to buy(?) this ST next week. I need to get out of the cold weather that is soon coming. Just getting nervous. Have joined 2 ST forums and they all agree its a great bike for $7995. I have him down to $7475 but that was with him giving me $3500 for my...
Early this morning at 5:31 am I was 42 miles down the road to my favorite train watching spot. Caught one in the dark. Turn up the sound.

How strange! I looked at an '06 FJR Friday and a '08 Connie today. Am going to to re-look at an '05 Honda ST1300 on Tuesday. Got the bug to get a bike that I can get out of town on more easily to get to the "good" places w/o fighting the wind turbulence. The Honda got the top spot in '05 for...
