Title: 2008 ST1300A for sale
Post by: Dick B "Yewie" on April 13, 2017, 03:49:36 PM
Greetings everyone,
The time has finally come for me to trade down to something smaller (read lighter) and I now have a shiney red Yamaha MT09 Tracer sharing the garage with my Candy Red ST1300A.
unfortunately a two bike lifestyle is not sustainable in our household so my trusty ST1300A has to go. I have owned this bike for the past seven years and it has literally taken Ros and I all over this great country of ours without missing a beat in the 90,000+ Kms we have ridden her.
If anyone is interested, or knows of someone who might be interested in a 1st class ST at a reasonable price here is the link to my Bike Sales Advert http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/sse-ad-4675823/2008-honda-st1300-abs/ (http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/sse-ad-4675823/2008-honda-st1300-abs/)
OzStoc Members feel free to PM me and I would be willing to talk price a little if it meant my wonderful ST would go to a good home.

After all the trips you have done, it must feel like you are selling one of the kids.    :eek

Good luck with the sale, and the new bike.

I'll be keen to hear your impressions of the Yammie, which was never on my radar as an alternative, as a lighter option to the ST.

So far so good Pete,
100kg lighter than the ST is a good start. Comes c/w panniers, screen and upright seating position. Their "comfort" seat is also quite good. Need to crank the 850cc donk a bit more of course and do more gear work but it certainly gets along briskly enough two-up. Haven't had it on a trip yet so that will be the acid test. The general word is that the MT-9 engine is "bullet proof". Perhaps I could do a ST/MT-09TRA critique down the track.
Cheers
Dick

Sad to see the ST is having to go but that's the way it is sometimes.
Anyway, congratulations on the new bike mate, I hope you find it to be an enjoyable ride :runyay

Sad to see it go Dick but it's inevitable due to their weight playing havoc with younger and older riders alike.
It's still a very nice bike,priced well.
I look forward to seeing the new yammy at Wooli  :beer

It's called sod's law.
A bit like when you have the money but not the time, but then when you have the time not the money.
