Police model ST1300 - pros and cons advice wanted
« on: July 07, 2019, 02:32:07 AM »
Hey there lads and lasses,

I'm still here but have been busy studying!

I'm looking to upgrade from my trusty 1100 to a 1300 bit want to know some pros and cons about buying an expolice model.

All thoughts, opinions and facts welcome as well as general advice.

Cheers heaps everyone.

I acknowledge the Bindal and Wulgurukaba traditional custodians of this Australian land that I work, live and play on, and pay my respect to their cultures, their ancestors and to the elders, past, present and all future generations.

PROS

Usually cheaper than the civilian model
Regular servicing
White - which not everyone likes - but definitely more visible (safer)
Usually has some additional accessories - crash bars, light mounts, police switches

CONS

Higher mileage on average
Single seat and costs on average $1,000 to convert
Hole in side fairing and maybe others
Lower resale value - Not everyone wants an ex-police bike (they think it may have been thrashed)

I personally think they are great however I'm bias
