Hello from Albury/Wodonga **update**
« on: April 13, 2025, 09:04:49 PM »
Update!  I have just purchased a lovely 2008 ST1300 and really looking forward to learning all about the bike, and trying to ride it as much as possible!

Hello everyone, I've joined up here as I have my heart set on a ST1300 (but the Fl 25, 26 has me scared) I live on the border between Melbourne and Sydney.
I haven't ridden for nearly 20 years, and back then it was a GSXR-750 and I lived in Melbourne, but living where I do now (near the Hume and right next to the Snowy Mountains etc) I have made some friends who also do some overnight touring, so It's time to get back in the saddle! Years ago a close mate bought an ST1100 (he still has it, but not using it) and I fell in love with it. so here I am!
"Hello!"

Cheers!

Hello everyone, I've joined up here as I have my heart set on a ST1300 ….

As soon as I get home and get an RWC for my ST1300 sorted out, it’ll be on the market.  Plenty of documented history and well known on here, ask any questions of me or any of the other members.

I saw that, lovely looking bike Williamson, but well out of my price range, I'm hoping to stretch to a 2008 or newer but even that's going to be a task!

I'm waiting with baited breath on the results of a user called "CruSTy" in the US who is soon to try a post 2008 ECM un an older bike with an adapter loom - then Ill relax a bit more about the Fl 25/26

Cheers,

Fraser

Howdy from the Adelaide Hills.

Maybe there will be a Ride to Eat or even a Rally in your area in the future...   :grin

The F1 code errors aren't that common, unless the bike has a history of them, it is probably a safe bet.*

* I have a 2008 with 210500 on the dial & no issues apart from standard wear & tear.
