Hi all,

Just bought an 2011 ST1300, and finding it to be a very enjoyable steed. Have owned a couple of Honda's previously, a beautiful CB750 and a cracker of an XL 250. The ST is my second road touring beast, having just sold my BMW RT1150 after putting just over 60K on it over 2 years.

Keen to join in a few rides, and get some good details on this bike, as I plan on having it for some time, and many km's.

Live in Gympie, ride whenever I can, and occasionally work requires me to be in Cairns, Sydney or Canberra, so I usually make it a bike trip.

Cheers,

Blacki

Hi Blacki and welcome to OzSTOC from Adelaide.   :hatwave

Cheers Stinky Pete. How do you find going from your ST to the RT ? Loved my Beemer, just started costing way too much money.

We are having lunch at the Farmer and Sun Cafe in Gympie on Saturday at Midday, Dinner at the Marine Bar and Grill on Saturday night, and breakfast at Cooloola Berries on Sunday morning.

You are welcome at one or all events.

I put over 170,000km on the ST, so I had a lot of saddle time invested in it, and it was a superb long distance tourer.  My plan was to fit an RDL seat and cruise control, but figured I'd be over-investing, so I bit the bullet and bought a low mileage '16 R1200RT.   It took me about a year to get comfortable with the many differences,  but now I love it.

You can read my review of the RT here....   https://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=12709.msg1236671#msg1236671
