2004 Honda ST1300 review from United States of America
"I love my top quality, long-distance touring mount!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Factory recall for a wiring harness ground connector, and test for rear wheel linked brake operation. Connector replaced for free, no problem with the rear wheel linked brake.
General comments?
Honda perfected the long-revered ST1100 with the ST1300. This is a top-quality long distance performance motorcycle. I've ridden mine as much as 3000 miles in a single trip, including Deal's Gap and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Handling is excellent at high or low speeds.
On a recent LA to Orlando ride, I had two 600+ mile days, never missing a beat. Ride, eat, sleep, repeat!
