[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1276995, member: 28773"] Allen, I see what you are saying but I would argue that the difference is so slight and lasts for such a short time that it is negligible. Also, the dyno readings at the bottom of the RPM range are always so erratic and inconsistent, you see much different results on different dynos. I concede your point though. The ST1300 was responsible for the death of an English Motor Officer due to what was unhappily named "The Pan Weave". ST1300s are called Pan Euro overseas. At high speeds, under certain conditions, the ST would go into a weave. My personal experience had more to do with windshield height than anything but the bike will begin to weave. They blamed tires, they blamed weight distribution, they blamed everything they could think of. The final result was that England switched to BMW for their police force, Hondaline top boxes were not available for sale in the US, and the swingarm pivot bushings are different between civilian and police models. I never experienced the weave and my ST saw 140mph plus. I did experience instability with the windshield raised. [/QUOTE]
