Super Clean and Pampered 2006 Honda ST1300A, Black with Upgrade ABS brakes Option. You don't find this ST1300 model with ABS brakes available very often, especially with low miles and in this great condition. Only 14,500 original miles and careful ownership shows in this bike's appearance. Never down or wrecked or repaired. All mechanical and electrical features are functioning as they should be. Added custom Rick Mayer rider and passenger seat PLUS a Stealth Removable Passenger Backrest. Hi-end performance Michelin Power Pilot 2 tires were replaced just over 5000 miles ago with plenty of tread remaining. Selling this fine bike for my friend who bought it from the original owner in 2010 and has put most of the miles on it. 55+ year old responsible and careful adult owner has a stable of 3 bikes now, hence the low miles on the ST, and set on buying a new Triumph this spring. In the garage every night and under a dust cover. Battery tender connected when not ridden. Meticulously cared for and serviced regularly. Honda Dealer fully serviced last summer by Garrels Powersports of Illinois. Oil and filter were changed just before putting her under cover in the garage last November. Extremely clean condition for it's age. One condition flaw found were some very slight scuffs on the tank clearcoat finish from the straps of a tank bag (They aren't visible in the photos at all and hardly even seen except under bright sunlight and up close) The header pipes show some heat discoloration as they do on all ST1300 models since Honda did not use heat shields over these pipes. As you can see this light copper-ish color on the pipes almost enhances the look of this aggressively styled bike. NOTE: I do see some round flash photo blotches on some of the pictures from my old camera's condition. These might appear as flaws on the seats or paint but are only on the pictures due to my amateur photo skills and an old camera lens. If you are at all unsure of what you see in the pictures, please send me a message to confirm the great condition of this motorcycle. Or ask me a question if you need any more details. Ready to ride cross-country this spring, and I wouldn't have any concerns about riding this bike anywhere in North America in its present condition. If you want to fly in or take Amtrak and ride it home, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport or train station. I would also consider riding the bike to you for delivery, if buyer covers my expenses and travel back home. I've been riding for 40 years and it would be my pleasure to take her for one last ride. I'm retired so I can be flexible with delivery timing, so feel free to inquire about this option if you desire. Bike will be available for pick-up anytime after April 19th and is sold as-is with no existing warranty expressed or implied. Buyer will receive clean Illinois title. Feel free to message me with any questions and I will try to respond quickly... If you are a serious buyer and wish to speak by phone, I can also arrange a discussion to get more details on this fine bike. I have nothing to hide or disguise about condition or performance of this Honda ST1300A. I have sold 3 other motorcycles on ebay in the past 10 years and my feedback history shows these satisfied buyers. If you become the new owner of this bike, you will not be disappointed.

I came to the Honda ST1300 from three straight BMWs: a '96 R1100RT, a '99 K1200LT and then an '02 R1150GS. I loved all of them for different reasons and here's why I chose the Honda ST1300... Stable, steady and trusting, even when heeled over pretty well. Honda offers excellent ABS brakes, which I have on mine. Being used to ABS, I feel more comfortable having them. They're totally linear and you don't realize they're on or working. No clunks or "cha-chinks" when leaving a stoplight. They just work. The motor is the centerpiece of the bike and it's fantastic. I'm a fan of V-4s, including the old Magna and, of course, the VFR/Interceptor design, both of which sit the other way in the frame. Think of the ST as two Guzzi motors glued together. The torque curve is flatter than my first date's chest and the horsepower figure is impressive enough: somewhere in the neighborhood of 123 bhp at the crankshaft. Even with a fair amount of weight, the engine isn't found lacking for motivational go-power. It's an honest 145 mph machine. Can cruise to 120 for short burts and, believe me, it had a lot left. The transmission is a typical wet, multi-plate clutch Japanese design ... meaning very smooth. Snick from gear to gear with little thought. The ST has only five speeds and I wondered initially if I would miss that tall overdrive 6th gear that my GS had. But the gear spacing is so perfect, so spot-on, I've never wished for another gear. At an indicated 80, the bike is turning about 4,100 rpm ... and with that motor, so well-balanced (and aided by a counter-rotating balancing shaft system), there is no tingling in either pegs or bars, just a pleasant thrumming feeling ... The gauges are terrific and offer entertainment value, as well as real world facts, on long rides. Average miles per gallon (since the last reset) is shown as well as a snapshot of current miles per gallon about every 20 seconds. More info includes digital readouts of ambient air temperature, fuel gauge, time, and engine temperature, represented by bars (three is normal). Simple and easy to read. The tach and speedo are analog, just as God intended. The luggage system is excellent: totally waterproof, easy to use, reasonably robust and totally removeable. The shape sometimes limits packing a tad but they'll hold enough for a nice long trip easily. Add to that a nice luggage rack and you can haul enough stuff for quite a few states. Maintenance is practically nil. Valve adjustments are recommended at 16K intervals. Most valves hold adjustment for the life of the bike. Would I buy the bike again? In a heartbeat. Any concerns that I might have had going in that the bike was too much of a compromise or a step down from BMW quality were quickly blown away by its excellent performance. The motor pulls strongly and makes a nice growl under full throttle. It handles better than I can fully appreciate. It's comfortable for long days (my chronically bad back not withstanding), it offers excellent weather protection and it's a bargain. It's capable of 100 mph blasts all day long, nationwide touring or trundling around town with equal aplomb. It's fast, smooth, comfortable and reasonably priced. If that doesn't make for a terrific motorcycle, I don't know what does. Payment Terms: PLEASE NOTE: BIKE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PICK-UP ANYTIME AFTER APRIL 19, 2014.
