Hi fellow ST'ers.
I have a silver 2005 ST1300. I brought it about a year ago and havn't looked back.
Luckily, it was fitted with a radio (from the Goldwing range), Motorcycle Cruise - Cruise Control and a heated Corbin Seat. All accessories I wouldn't have paid for but love having them. So far I've done a trip through the NSW and VIC snowies and the Oxley Hwy NSW. I regularly do day trips up the Putty Road and down to Macquarie Pass and the Kangaroo Valley (NSW).
I've owned lots and lots of bikes before but I love this bike just a bit more than my 87 VFR750 years ago. My mate has a couple of bikes including a Kwaka 1300GTR which I have to admit handles better but is no way as comfortable as the ST. Also you've got to ride it up the top end of the range when your goin' for it. I can't see myself ever buying another bike now.
What I think is special about the ST is that you can round up most blokes on sportsbikes and when you stop they say, "Boy, the ST moves!!!!!" Gotta love that torque.
Thanks for having me on the forum.
