Title: US 2012 ST1300 model
Post by: alans1100 on February 28, 2012, 07:26:12 PM: I was looking a 1300 picture and came upon this.

The US has 2012 version (released December 2011) of the 1300 so I checked I checked Aussie Honda site and we still have 2010 release.

and from a US Honda dealer who has both 2010 and 2012 plated models with a $2000 price difference

Maybe a small thing for some, but I know how good it is to have panniers that work, like on the ST1100, the BMW's, kawas, yammies and the like. That square kinda shape just seems to have the goods.

They will need to make an ST1600 before I would think about upgrading.

With all the comments about the demise of the 1300 it seems we've got it at least for the remainder of this year if US model release is anything to go by.
