Nice, if only those had a driveshaft instead of a chain, my ST would have been long gone years ago.

Haven't kept up with the times, is that still the 955cc triple under the plastic? That's a great engine, I had a 2003 Daytona 955i but two crashes later I gave it to the insurance company.

That's a fun ride...the 1050 makes a beautiful noise. Hope he enjoys it.

Too much SPORT and NOT ENOUGH Tour for me. I told him it needed handlebar risers! ;)

When I purchased my 2005 ST1300 brand new off the showroom floor with zero miles I did it with the intention of it being my last motorcycle. At the time I purchased it I was commuting about 85 miles a day. I had moved up from a 84 V65 Sabre from which I had moved up from a 83 V45 Sabre from which I had moved up from several 82 V45 Sabres (all of which were bought used) from which I had moved up from a 81 CB650 Custom from which I had moved up from a 79 CB750A.

My Li'l Bro, SupraSabre, and I often spoke how we wished Honda would follow up with a good V65 replacement. Well they did with the ST1300. With adding some necessary farkles the bike is all I want it to be and meets my needs just fine. My bro and I and three of his sons just completed a ride of the southwest where I logged around 3500 miles and other than normal preventative maintenance items and fork seal replacement the bike performed flawlessly. Some complain about the weight but for myself I like the "Heavy" bike because in heavy winds it's so much more stable.

I have no intentions on changing bikes. I'll be on my ST until I no longer ride.

OK, That looks like my garage.
So where does Bobby live? Is it near you?
The reason I ask is I think you should have matching bikes,,,, or at least close.

Enter my 09 Triumph Sprint ST (I thought I had a picture on this computer)
Maybe I will have to find a picture and send it to you.

Or maybe I should send the pics to Justin.

Bobby lives down here. He just recently moved out to my FIL old place (Bobby bought it from him) and now he has a four car garage. More room for toys! He is in the process of selling his Sprint St, although so far hasn't had any buyers.

This weekend, we (Bobby, Brett and I) are riding out to the Long Beach Motorcycle show. And NO, I wouldn't want a Sprint St... I don't do chains! :noway
