As Biggles says, depends on the distance vs price, as well as any extras included and maintenance records. No major problems with the ST13 as long as all maintenance is done. At any age minor niggles like coolant leaks (mostly just tighten a hose clamp or 2), thermostat may need replacing or at least a good coolant flush and keep greasing those drive splines at every tyre change.

The other item to check for a slightly higher k bike is when and if the valve clearances have been checked and adjusted if necessary. I believe they can cost to have adjusted, not a major thing but another item worth considering with all the other things.
Good luck finding one you like and welcome to OZSTOC.

o'clock so headed home for several cold one's - pic's below .....

Well spotted sir....they were laid down by another bike waaaay back in the distant unpleasentness

I don't think i would ever subject the Shiny Tart to such punishment

Whizz · « **Reply #38 on:** January 11, 2013, 06:00:12 PM »

OOOHHH I've not heard the "Shiny Tart" monika for the BeaST...but it really fits!!!

Welcome to the lunatic asylum CK.Enjoy your sanity... while it lasts!!

Thanks Whizz RobJob Streak & tj189 Shiney & gaz ( noice yammy - i kid you not )

Abe, speaking of Beer Money Wasted - i will miss the storage capacity of the old duck

Biggles · « **Reply #41 on:** January 11, 2013, 08:23:50 PM »

I'm pretty sure the ST1300 will go close to that capability. I've seen a slab of beer in the top box and the panniers are deeper, so your Rum will go in sideways.

Brock · « **Reply #42 on:** January 11, 2013, 09:19:46 PM »

I can get that lot in the 1100, + ice

rjstorrie · « **Reply #43 on:** January 12, 2013, 09:06:01 PM »
