Have a look at the US/Euro Honda websites, all have the ST1300/Pan European listed. There are even reviews in the US for the 2014 ST 1300.Maybe runouts but still there

In reference to the post I made earlier about a new 1300 colour http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=6426.msg72554#msg72554 it would appear that at least the UK has a 2014 model 1300 in blue

What an AWESOME colour to bring back the ST in

Stuart Woodbury takes one for a ride in Issue 19 (September) of Australian Motorcyclist (Bear's "new"magazine). I think he tried pretty hard to be positive about it......... Triumph and Yamaha will be happy

551 km on the clock!
Didn't take someone long to get sick of it!

Maybe a Demo, but the ad usually says so if it is. And 551 is a litle high for a demo bike that's only been around a short while.

I still get flashbacks to the monsters in "Alien" when I look at the front cowl.

Good find, that one, Sab.

I could ride one of these around just for the show! I'd rather be transmitting "look at me" with style rather than 130db of engine noise like one manufacturer I won't name.

It's only got a scooter engine, but the styling is exceptional. I'd have to try that seat back thingy, it's not the best part of the bike, but might be comfortable.

And 25 colour choices for the LED display!! Honda has gone from pathetic to insane over-kill.

I had a look through the Australian Motorcyclist test. One comment struck me - even though retuned for lower down power, it was commented that it has less midrange than the ST1300. Sort of defeats the purpose. I can just see ST1300 owners swapping parts from the CTX so that the power is less...

For reasons unknown to myself there maybe others who might consider one of these........

Grumpy · « **Reply #187 on:** November 11, 2014, 05:03:54 PM »

I agree with Brock. The thing can't seem to be able to decide whether its a cruiser, tourer, bagger or just plain show off. Although I can't imagine anyone wanting to brag about having one.

Sabie · « **Reply #188 on:** November 11, 2014, 05:47:39 PM »

Well I think the guy who set it up needs to be congratulated, it's not easy making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Although he didn't quite get the silk purse he gave it a good shot, after all he didn't have much to work with from the start, just a good engine really.

He's made the best of an awful thing..

ish

On a positive note... The Pipes look Great.......................................

I think with a decent screen it would actually look ok.

With you on that, although I think with and Electric Screen it would look even better.

Marcus · « **Reply #192 on:** November 12, 2014, 07:44:06 AM »

Still... how annoying spending all that money and still have to carry your helmet around because it won't fit in the side panniers, unlike the ST1300. (not everyone would buy on with a top box)

ST2UP · « **Reply #193 on:** November 12, 2014, 07:44:52 AM »

Yeah it just looks half finished......I think the designer called in sick on the Friday he had to have the project finished, and they just thought close enough

ppopeye · « **Reply #194 on:** November 12, 2014, 07:45:25 AM »

Ugly as sin.

Brian · « **Reply #195 on:** January 07, 2015, 12:16:19 PM »

I'Ve read,heard in conversation with a number of ST owners re farkling their STeed with .... Bar risers..more comfortable then OEM seats. So from what I see in these photos the CTX 1300 has the ST powerhouse plus a flatter seat and bars that are more touring orientated.....so maybe worth a test ride before disregarding it as an option to the next best thing.

Piet · « **Reply #196 on:** January 07, 2015, 03:17:48 PM »

The look just does not grab me. Not at all! As ppopeye reckons, It's as ugly as sin. I with you on that one.

spanner · « **Reply #197 on:** January 07, 2015, 07:22:28 PM »

And from the reviews I've read it may have the 'powerhouse ' of a STeed but it does not deliver the power expected or requierd.

The shape
the look
the power .... or lack thereof
the loss of the sports aspect

nup nup nopey nope

I noticed you stayed with the blue .. Well done
