I have just joined the forum as I purchased one of these ST1300's. I paid $16,990 from Action Motor Cycles - Parramatta two weeks ago. Two of my mates also bought one and the best price was $16,800 from Western's, ride away. When I walked in there two weeks ago I was offered one at $18,990. I was assured by the salesman they would not last long and he wanted me to sign up then and there. However I know the crew at Hawkesbury Honda very well so I went there. Unfortunately they did not have an ST but they told me the price was actually $16,990 ride away. When I got home that night Western's had them on the net at $17,518 ride away. ($16,990 plus on road). I was not impressed hence my purchase at Action the next morning. Great bikes....super price. Last Tuesday when my second mate picked his up there were two left at Western's, none at Action.
