I'll go along with that........I can just flat foot both sides, but that little extra would be nice!

A slightly re-designed seat wouldn't go astray, perhaps slightly sculptured to make it 25mm lower for us wee folk! :grin

Adjustable to that for the wee ones- or I'll have my chin on my knees!

I am not short but my legs are and I have to admit I really struggle sometimes to move the ST.

I went on a road trip with a bunch of hogs a couple of weeks ago and I soon earned the nick name of Dudley (Wild Hogs) with my parking antics.

Underway even at low speed is fine but as soon as I put my feet down I find it difficult.

I sat on an BMW R1200Rt with a low seat recently and it was much easier.

Hi all
If someone can find out the colour code or name, I can find out what colour it is, whats the formula is, and probably be able to reproduce it. It looks very much like a colour I nearly used on my bike a couple of years a go. Nearly, because at the time it was very,very expensive...

I think a new seat design would do wonders for the ST. I've just finished a 3400km trip around the alpine country and
even with an airhawk my backside was sore.

I'm currently looking into a used reduced height leather Corbin from the states, just asking a few questions about it at the moment, then if further interested I'll look at shipping cost, and think about if it's all worthwhile! :grin

Just as long as if they bring more Sts in they brought some in white!

Go the Sargeant seat, especially if you take along a pillion

If I was looking to buy a new seat then I'd certainly look at the Sargeant seat, but I'm looking at a good "used' reduced height Corbin for $200 US plus shipping..........just waiting on a shipping cost now! Supposed to drop seat height by 1" and that would suit me just fine!! :grin

Electrically/program on the move suspension adjustment would be nice too!

I looked at Honda UK earlier and found the name of the new 1300 Colour.

It's Ion Blue Metallic. I can't see Honda Japan bringing out a new colour if the model is out of production so it would have to be 2014 model.
