Hi Dean, and welcome to the forum. Sounds like your bike is the same year and colour as mine, though I've only managed to knock over 115,000K's in the last 14 years.

Hi cravenhaven,

Great bike though.

Whew!  I'm glad to hear that.  It's a bit of a smack in the eye in the photo!

Welcome to the Forum. 
I'm another happy red ST1300 owner, as you can see below.  We're the lucky ones with the fastest colour (which leaves me wondering where a green bike fits in that spectrum, although it seems to work OK for Kawasaki).
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Welcome to OzSTOC Dean.
:hatwave.

Check out the Bed, Shed and Fed thread, the RTEs Australia wide ('cause there's some great destinations for that bike, and the National Rally which is at Wolli in October.

Welcome on in ST001. I must say I really love the green 1100. Thats probably one thing I think Mr. Honda overlooked in the range of ST's. A bit of colour. He was clearly a conservative chap.

Thanks skip,
It really is a nice colour for the st there's enough grey plastics to break it up a bit.
