I test rode the ST13 and Goldwing. ST13 is familiar but different to the ST11, which is a good thing. Love the brakes, feels more compact because of the way they have done the bodywork. Idle sounded a lot different (idle was 900rpm - is that ok) but sounded the same one going. More power across the torque curve, but not greatly so. I could live with one quite ok .
The Goldwing was a surprise package. Lived up to all I have read about it. It could go as fast around corners as you wanted, on the road no slower than an ST. Brakes even better than the ST13 give its size. the rear brake linked to the front has enough power normally to not bother use the brake lever, but that is a bad habit to learn (great for former cruiser riders I guess). definitely a tourer for ST and sports riders who want all that corner handling stuff but want all those extras as standard.
