welcome all from OZ Newcastle
« on: May 16, 2018, 09:54:15 PM »
Well where can I start.....

Name is Michael and live in OZ near Newcastle

I have been on the lookout for a ST1300 for a while and finally found one only a few 100km away from me. Have been riding for the past 16 years and love every moment of riding.
Your site is fantastic with plenty of details....rides......and friendly members. Keep up he great work.


The old girl is a 2003 Honda ST1300 and silver in colour.

The first ST1300s really only lack the electric windscreen, so the age doesn't matter.  I test-rode one years ago at a dealers and should have bought it, but chose a 2004 model instead for too much money.  I actually had decided to go with the silver '03 but the private seller of the '04 wouldn't refund my deposit.     :cuss

The first (2002/2003) 1300s came with a 1300 (base model) and the 1300A (ABS) which had the motorised screen as standard and from 2004 the electric screen went on both models.

Honda began the ST1300s boldly, and then sadly failed to follow through with incremental improvements.

Another hi from South Oz,  I'm in the Adelaide Hills to add to the mix.

We may be small on numbers in SA, but we punch above our weight on being welcoming and friendly, and on site activity.

Enjoy your time on the site, all questions answered, no matter what.
