Just bought a 2005 ST1300 with 62,000 on the clock on Gumtree from Adelaide (unseen) as I live in Perth. It was a gamble, but I paid $5000 for the bike $607 to get it across and then all the WA paperwork and change of ownership details. Total cost $6,110.
I’m very happy with it and I can see why so many people love the ST1300.
In a previous life I’ve worked as a motorcycle courier in London, Dublin, Auckland, Bradford and Perth (AUS) using a Honda CX 500 as my choice of bike.
I’m looking forward to getting out and about around WA

Welcome from Peterborough SA

Sounds like a fair swap - my 1300A came from Perth last year and you got one from SA this year; same price only mine is a year older and an extra 10K on clock.

Only I flew over and rode it 2600 km back home.

The CX is a great bike and you’ll find the ST is a fantastic bike, but it really excels in touring long distances.
