I am very much anticipating a new ST or the likes SOON.
I think that this idea will suit me just FINE !
According to some articals I have read this is currently available in Europe as the new PanEuropean.

Can anyone help verify this? Or am I just blinded by wishful thinking?? !!!

Wishful thinking. Not out in Europe yet. The VFR with optional bags is, but not a new Pan (VFR1200T).

ABS, 1500cc, reverse, hydraulic centerstand, alarm system, digital gear indicator, single-sided swingarm, four color choices, (Forest Green is mine...) AND it all weighs in at #605 lbs.

A couple years ago, those pics were in Motorcycle News, a British mag that has a reputation for speculating...case in point.

Wishfull thinking....I do hope that IF and WHEN they get off their a** that this will be the direction. They are very nice renditions in my opinion.
And as for options I agree with all of the above......well the centerstand may be a little over the top ! LOL

The ST13 is is now 10 years old (2002 Pan European), so Honda definitely has something on the drawing boards and the world economy issues (and Tsunami) is what I say prevented a new gen 2012 ST from hitting the streets.
Of course, Europe will get the first year production and the US a year later, if they follow the same release as they did on the ST11 and ST13.

I think its a prudent bet that whatever emerges, it will be based on the VFR1200 platform and especially the engine. I've ridden the DCT and standard tranny a fair amount and, while the DCT is interesting/cool, I don't think it's "there" quite yet (at least for my riding style/tastes). As you know, the VFR bags currently are had as a significantly priced "option"- and that is utterly ridiculous for a model designated with the word "touring" anywhere in it...

The new 700 (X and S) have second generation DCT. I expect that to migrate up to the 1200 motor when ever.

BTW, the 700 S, tho not scheduled for the US this year, is coming to Canada. Of course the got the new Trans Alp as well and we never did. I think Honda America's marketing need some new blood.

The guy making those decisions is Ray Blank. Oh he's got a few Lt.'s, but at the end of the day...
