[QUOTE="mophead, post: 1441548, member: 14434"] I had two ST1300's and the current FJR at the same time. The FJR remains and the ST's are gone. Sold the two ST's and brought home a 18 Goldwing. Had one of the ST's outfitted with RaceTech suspension (highly suggested) and a McCruise. Did the bluegauges thing so I could read the display. It was a great bike save for one thing. It roasted my left leg at any temperature over 85F. Loved the big gas tank. Loved the luggage. No rear sub frame worries with the ST and factory top box. Had the Hondaline top box with spoiler. They are great bikes but owning an ST and a FJR is just redundant so kept the FJR (2014) and went with the newer Wing. Honda finally got rid of that stupid secondary master cylinder that freezes up the rear brake. Never understood that piece. Totally unnecessary. The FJR is a little more sporty than the ST but its just a trade off so whichever you like better is the one to own. ST is getting a little long in the tooth but if you take care of them they will serve you well. This opinion andn $10 should get you something at Starbucks, I think. [/QUOTE]
