This is a motorcycle I can no longer ride or enjoy. At 75-years of age I find myself with a rapidly deteriorating spine. I have enjoyed this and 46 other motorcycles over the years—so I have a lot of great times to remember and great multi state tours. This 1998 motorcycle has 22,XXX miles and has been carefully maintained over the years. It came from the estate of a good friend. It has always been stored in dry and heated surroundings. It is serviced with fresh fluids and can go cross country at a moment’s notice. The battery is fantastic and the tires are about 60-70 percent. The photos show the bike without stickers except the front “HONDA” sticker and the side “ST1100” stickers. My friend carefully removed them with a blow gun (hair dryer) as he did not care for them—they were not clear coated from the factory. I have new stickers to go with the bike along with the tools, owners manual, shop manual, and advertising literature. The Corbin seat, Heli-bars, and tall Clearview shield which cost over $1,000 and obviously come with the bike—I do NOT have the original seat, bars, nor shield. The bike is located about a one-hour drive north of Grand Rapids, MI and about 20-minutes from Big Rapids. Please contact me if you have any questions. The ST1100 was optimized for long-distance touring with the following features: Low maintenance shaft drive A unique longitudinal V-4 engine layout Water Cooled for long life 7.4 gallon (28 liter) fuel tank, one of the largest ever supplied for a motorcycle, giving it a range in excess of 300 miles (480 km) 40 ampere, air-cooled alternator to power multiple accessories such as auxiliary lighting and electrically heated clothing "Motorcycle Reviews" Writes this about the ST1100: For anyone looking for a long-distance tool the Honda ST1100 Pan European is probably one of the safest bets around. The only problem is availability – owners rate them so highly that low-mileage machines are rarer than hen’s teeth. Not that mileage matters as the motor and construction quality is thermospherically high. The Honda ST1100 Pan European's DOHC V4 motor is so smooth and its delivery so linear that it redefines notions of ease. Reliability and durability is second-to-none. The five-speed gearbox never finds anything but drive and in top gear 90mph is met with just 4500rpm on the clock. You can hit 130mph, but that’s not really the point. Honda ST1100 Pan European motors will cheerfully toss off 250,000 miles, the suspension lasts well and the build quality is terrifically strong. The ST1100 (ST from Sport Touring, 1100 from the engine capacity) began its production in 1990 and ended in 2002, although the police variant, the ST1100P, was available for several more years. A revamped model, the ST1300 which is also called the Pan-European, was launched in 2002 worldwide and was available in the US in 2003.

Also, I prefer a potential buyer (or a representative) to view and hear the bike run. Be assured I do not sell bad items. I am happy to answer and questions and will assist a shipping company as best I can physically.
