Just saying Hi
« on: October 26, 2019, 01:25:26 PM »
New member here so thought I would say G'day. Have just bought a 2010 ST1300 with 13000KM on the clock. Fitted Helibars Gen3 riser yesterday and that was a good move. This bike is for 2 up touring and sits beside a custom.ised 06 VTX1800C and a 2015 BMW S1000XR. Suffice to say I like having options.

Yes Bod I could t believe 13k on a 2010 ST. The thing is as near  new with new Angel GT's on it. I got a bit lucky it was only 20 mins from home so had to have it. Very happy.

13,000!?  How does a rider do that much in 9 years?  I've done 32,326 in the year to today.
Nice to know there are people out there storing good STs for when I need my next one.
Welcome to the forum.
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 the forum.
Reminds me of our 99 1100A bought in 2006 ( seven years old) with a mere 11,500 km on the clock; we did just under a 1000 km to bring it home in the first day. Four years later it was at 120,000 km and now at 219,000 it's taken the last 9 years to do a 100,000 km.

Welcome to the forum.

Here's another low km (well mile in this case), https://www.st-owners.com/forums/threads/2001-st1100-with-lowest-miles-around-looking-for-a-rider.170119/#post-2187634

Pity it's a bit far away.
