2006 Honda ST1300

JH2SC510X6M400572

I am the original owner and bought this motorcycle new in 2006 in California while I was working there. I have used it very little and have kept it covered in the garage. As you can see it has the Honda Trunk box which I ordered in frm Europe as it is not available for the U.S. model ST1300 here in the U.S. It is the real Honda Trunk and I paid over $1,500. for it with the arm rests and rear spoiler with a built in rear LED Brake Light. I also put the tank pads and purchased the Honda soft side saddle bag inserts that are custom fit for the bikes hard sabblebags making it a snap to grab them and go. This is truly an awsome bike to ride and simply cannot be beat for the money. I am only selling it because I lost my job and need the money more then I need the motorcycle at this point in time. I paid almost $14,000.00 for the motorcycle new and put another $1,800.00 in accessories. This is an excellent motorcycle and you are getting it for almost 50% off of the new price and it only has about 8150 miles on it. You will truly enjoy this fine piece of craftsmanship from the lengendary Honda designers. Unique Features Powerful, liquid-cooled 1261cc longitudinally mounted V-4 engine produces 125 bhp at 8000 rpm and 85 lb./ft. of torque at 6000 rpm for effortless acceleration and passing power. The 2006 ST1300 meets the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards. Programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) and electronic digital ignition maximize power output and provide immediate throttle response. Aluminum frame combines optimal rigidity and tuned flex to produce excellent handling, superb riding comfort and wonderful road feel. Touring features include full-coverage bodywork, three-way adjustable rider's seat, and two large, 35-liter detachable saddlebags. Windscreen height can be adjusted manually, and both models feature push-button, motor-driven windscreen adjustability to alter height and angle. Engine/Drivetrain Compact, powerful 1261cc DOHC 90°V-4 engine with an oversquare bore and stroke of 78mm x 66mm. Longitudinal engine-mounting eliminates an inefficient 90-degree turn in the power flow for improved drivetrain efficiency. Aluminum composite cylinder sleeves are high-pressure-formed from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite. The composite sleeves provide better wear resistance and superior heat dissipation compared to conventional sleeves. Silent-type cam-chain drive eliminates the previous model's wider belt-driven cam drive, reducing engine length 10mm and lowering overall weight. Large, 31mm intake valves and 27mm exhaust valves feed a combustion chamber with a 10.8:1 compression ratio. Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals. Four 36mm throttle bodies. High-pressure PGM-FI delivers fuel at 50 psi into each injector. Fuel is delivered through eight laser-drilled nozzle holes in each injector, producing a very fine spray and a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power. PGM-FI combines a sophisticated throttle sensor, advanced 3-D digital fuel injection and ignition mapping and precisely metered fuel delivery to produce smooth and linear throttle response. ECU-controlled closed-loop emission control system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Auto-enriching system is integrated into PGM-FI module, optimizing the air/fuel mixture on cold starts and eliminating the need for a manual choke. Four-into-two stainless steel exhaust system features a pair of attractive triangular-section, 5.4-liter mufflers with stainless steel heat shields. Dampers on the transmission mainshaft, clutch and drive shaft reduce noise, vibration and driveline lash High-output, 660-watt air-cooled alternator is located between the cylinder banks, contributing to a shorter and more compact engine design. U-shape aluminum radiator has excellent cooling capacity, and a ring-type fan draws air through the radiator at low speeds to ensure stable operating temperatures for consistent performance and long engine life. Sturdy eight-plate hydraulic clutch. Cassette-type five-speed transmission features gear ratios that allow for quicker acceleration and excellent roll-on performance. Quiet and reliable shaft-drive system is virtually maintenance-free. Chassis/Suspension Aluminum frame features a massive steering head casting and triple-box-section spars. The V-4 engine serves as a tuned, stressed frame member. The solid engine-mounting system utilizes specially designed hangers and carefully matched mounting bolts to provide both excellent road feel and minimal engine vibration.
