Welcome aboard Glenn,
you have found the right place for information on the ST1300, if you happen to find one that interests you make sure you post up, and one of us can go and take a look if your not nearby to go and see it.

as for learning, ask any question you like, there are lots of great minds, (and a few lost minds) that will help out best we can.

Tell us about yourself, where your from, how long have you been around bikes?

cheers

Graham

Post by: StinkyPete on March 25, 2013, 04:05:35 PM: Hi Glenn and welcome to OzSTOC. While the VFR is a great sports/tourer (my sone has one), the ST is a true dedicated touring bike but which still allow you to ride with "enthusiasm" through the twisties.

Post by: Biggles on March 25, 2013, 08:33:59 PM: You're absolutely right sticking with Honda.
One of the beauties of the STs is their big fuel tanks which you'll appreciate after 20 litres (which is still better than most sports bikes' 16 litres!)

Apart from everything else this rider/owner group trumps all the rest because of the quality (ahem) of its members and the extent of their activities.
