2007 Honda ST1300ABS

JH2SC51417M500516

This may be the best condition 2007 ST1300 with ABS to be found. Less than 6000 miles. I am the only and original owner. I bought this bike new in the crate around July 25, 2008. The standard warranty continues until July of 2011 and according to the dealer when I bought the bike, can be extended for a fee while still in the warranty period. This bike listed for around $15,250 at the time I bought it and cost me around $13,500 with the passenger backrest. The rear tire is virtually new and the front still has around 40% usable life. Before I bought this bike, I really did my research on this bike. This is a VERY powerful bike with the smoothest running engine/transmission drivetrain that I have ever seen in a motorcycle and I have owned about 10 bikes. The brakes are almost unbelievable. You can't tell when the ABS is working (it is that smooth and quiet) and I have tried to lock up the brakes in gravel and it will not slide one inch and will stop very quickly. The seat height is easily adjustable without tools. The built in computer gives many hi-tech functions as well as outside air temperature. As far as I know, the bike is in perfect condition with the following exceptions: Extremely light scratches on the outside of the mirrors (you must look closely to see them) One light scratch on the side of the tank that must be shown to you or you will not notice it. (about 2mm) I promise you that the bike is almost in showroom-new condition and I believe if it were in the Honda showroom, it would pass for new today. WHY am I selling. In August, my wife and I moved to Mexico with the US State Department and I will be working here for several years. The roads in Mexico are no place for a bike like this. There are some roads that would be safe, but I chose not to bring it and leave it with my father in Anderson, SC to be garage kept. We can assist with shipping anywhere in the US and I have been told that most anywhere in the lower 48 is $600 or less for shipping. If you have any questions about the bike, please contact me prior to bidding. The bike has been serviced 2 times since new. The service was performed at the end of each riding season. So, in other words: Bike bought new in July 20081st service was in the fall of 20082nd service was in the fall of 2009 To the best of my knowledge, the bike has only been ridden about 1,000 miles since the last service in 2009. This bike is for sale locally in South Carolina, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if needed.
