Here's the replacement for the ST1300: 2014 CTX 1300.
Fred,No, the ST13 is a European (market) Sport Tourer. The CTX would be an American (market) Cruiser. Putting the ST power train in the CTX does not make it an ST, or its replacement.
You must remember Norm that Honda hasn't "offered" the CTX1300--those photos were leaked. Most theories are that Honda will announce the bulk of their 2014 lineup at the EICMA show next month. I'm anticipating the unveiling of the VFR1200T, and Honda finally bringing the Crosstourer to the US.Fred,
That's all well & good, but there is nothing new in the Honda ST realm in the US for 2014. There IS something new in the Honda cruiser line, using the drive train of the ST1300. I had hoped for a new ST using the drive train from the VFR1200 by now. Nothing happening there either.
Regardless of how you want to look at it, Honda has not offered anything new or even updated in the full-sized sport-touring realm since 2003 and there is nothing on the horizon. Sad.
Part of me hopes you're wrong because I just bought a 2010 a few months back. Part of me hopes your right because it would be interesting to see what they do with the feature set and aesthetics. And if history is any indication, it will be around long enough that when I can justify buying a new bike even though this one doesn't have 200,000miles on it, it will still be around, largely unchanged.But, I think they are just on the verge of announcing a true new ST version..
The year is not over.. Honda doesn't always announce ALL their new models at that show.The first info from EICMA 2013,Milan 5-10/11/13 force us to change the thread to <<Replacement for the Honda ST1300 in 2015? !!!!!!!
yeah, they're supposed to have some more announcements on the 20th. However, given that the ST1300 is really just a rebadged Pan European, I'd be surprised if they were to announce the replacement anywhere other than Milan. Not saying they won't, just that I'd be mocking up the 2015 thread title.The year is not over.. Honda doesn't always announce ALL their new models at that show.
Nah, at that point this thread gets merged with the 'will the plane fly' physics question and we start a new one.. LOLNot saying they won't, just that I'd be mocking up the 2015 thread title.
Plus One.Replacement for the Honda CTX1300 in 2025 thread...that's more realistic.
opcornSo Joe, is the CTX1300 going to have it own Owners Froum, or are they going to be absorbed into this Forum with the ST1100 and the ST1300??
