[STeamroller]

They must have gone for a bit for them all to be gone.

[Shiney]

I didn't get didily squat...

 

[saaz]

Thats life in a nutshell really 

[Neale]

Bugger mate.. Really had my fingers crossed for you.

[Sicman]

Streak - The right one will come along at the right time. It doesnt hurt to watch the market for up to 3 months so when you see a bargain you will be able to grab it

Cheers
 

[Streak]

Agreed, I was only taking a shot through opportunity, there will be others, anyway, I am still happy on my ST1100....who wouldn't be....

[Brian]

Mate the planets weren't lined up...... It's out there waiting for you to find it.... And you are right there is nothing wrong with the black STallion.

[Couch]

Hey Streak...........I have exactly what you're looking for, but I'm sorry mate, it's not for sale!!!  All White bikes are Police bikes and were never meant to be released for sale new to the public.

I actually brought my bike from Pro Honda in Ipswich about 3 years ago, It was a brand new Police model, already fitted with pillion seat, raised handlebars, wind (knee) deflectors, panniers, etc. with zero kls on the clock. Pro Honda were able to get hold of 4 of these bikes and they were un commissioned Police Bikes, and I brought the last one that they had. I actually flew up from Tassie and they picked me up from the airport and the first time I ever sat on a ST 1300 was when I rode it out of the showroom to head back to Tassie. I love riding the white bike, so often I'm mistaken for the long arm of the law, which can be a little frustrating at times, as I'm often given right of way when I don't have it. I've even had cars in front of me pull over and stop to let me pass them. Once I even had a M/C Police Officer riding towards me give me a wave as he went past........of course I just waved back with a little smirk on the dial. The only thing that didn't come with it was a top box, which I added at a later date. I've also since added a quartet harness, OEM heated grips, black sheepskin seat cover, Kaoko throttle lock, and hot wired my magnetic tank bag, from where I can charge my iPhone etc.

Love the white ST!!

You sir are a cruel, cruel man....

[Couch]

Just for you mate!

Oops, forgot to mention, it's a 2008 model and I was able to buy it for a very good price.   I was lucky to be able to get it, it was advertised on Pro Honda's website and I brought it from them before I even laid eyes on the bike. Of course I did view a very good photo of it and as I mentioned it had never been on the road so I knew it had to be in superb nick. When I went to Brissie to pick it up PH told me they wished they could have gotten a dozen of them as they'd had so many enquiries after I'd brought their last one. The only little problem I had after riding it out of the showroom and heading straight back to Tassie was that it was very hot in the afternoon, and raining lightly, then after 10 minutes on the road the sky turned black/green and it absolutely pissed down with very strong gusty winds which continued for the next 120kls. I made it as far as Warwick before finally tossing in the towel, very pissed off and very wet. It wasn't until later that I was pleased to have gone through it because it gave me so much confidence in the bike. Although I have to admit that at the time S@#% was trumps! Next morning I set off early with clear skies, knowing that I needed to make it a big day as I'd booked passage back to Tassie the following night. I managed to clock up 1157kls with temps up around 32-34 degrees most of the way. Rested that night then hit Melb early afternoon the following day, grinning like a cheshire cat. Over on the Spirit that night, then 350kls from Devonport to Nubeena the following morning, stopping on the way to have a safety certificate made out then register it with Tasmanian registration. It was a great first ride I can tell you!!
Oh' I did have a permit to ride an unregistered bike, without plates..........speed cameras, tolls , ha ha.....

There's a brand new white ST1300 sitting in Rising Sun Honda in Townsville....

Spoke to Bernie today, he said they sold that a while ago, he is going hunting for me

[IanB]

ProHonda at Rocklea has been ordering white 1300's over the last couple of years.
Seen quite a few going through the workshop for presale work.
Not police specials just white beauties.

[Couch]

That's interesting, I was told that all white bikes manufactured by Honda were Police Bikes  , that is, they are all set up with Police switching, and I've yet to see one that isn't!   But if you've seen them going through then my info is incorrect! 
I'd be interested to know what year model they are, as they've never been advertised as an available colour.

[Couch]

For those who might not understand "Police switching"

[Sean]

I know the manager at Pro and he has told me previously tha the bikes come in from Honda and occassionally there are a couple that are surplus to the Police requiremnts. They then sell them to the public as they become available. The bikes are the police spec except the lights are not fitted, but the switch gear is left on them.  I hope this helps.

Sean 

[Couch]

That's exactly right!! Other than the switch gear you wouldn't know the difference between them and non Police bikes. I don't know if there is any difference in top speed between the two as I've never bothered to go that fast  but I do know that my bike handles very well  and I've never needed to alter the suspension from the day I first threw my leg over the seat  .

    Go the white STs! 

[Streak]

"UPDATE"

Just been doing the rounds with Bernie from Rising sun Honda in Townsville, he can get me a new White ST1300 full converted to dual seat for $21,000 on road....as they are being used by the QLD police again....

bit more than I had planned to spend, but it was interesting to know that Bernie was willing to follow up for me...

[bloodbikes]

Maybe Poppy Dave will sell his white ST13, I'm sure he knows where to get another one.

 

[Neale]

Garn, just do it.
