Now that was inspired! You made it come out my nose!Too bad pies round instead of pie R square .
Bob, that fact has never been in dispute. A quoted number for the ST1300 pieload was incorrect and I gave support for the correct figure. Honda's curb or wet weight for the ST has always been fairly accurate, 721 lbs non ABS and 730 for an ABS bike. The DOT placard on each and every bike frame gives the Gross Allowable Vehicle Weight. Subtract the weight of the bike and the rest is pieload, er, payload. MCN got it wrong in 2003 or else their test bike had less than 505KG/1111 lbs for the GAVW.Dave the fact is the BMW R1200RT hauls more than the Honda ST1300.
Who cares? Really, who cares?Bob, that fact has never been in dispute. A quoted number for the ST1300 pieload was incorrect and I gave support for the correct figure.

Morton, Bob's BMW in Jessup, Md. Has the bike I want. It is the only 1 without key less. Do U know any thing about this dealer. The site say #1 dealer in the Northeast? But, so is Hermy's.Scot,
Glad you are enjoying the new ride, it is a sweet machine. A few comments to your first post:
- Ride modes also alter ABS characteristics - dynamic frees everything up a bit for those inclined to push more spirited technique - Blue is faster ;-)
- Those customers who waited for the shock fix got $2500 AND a 6 month warranty extension
- The Kthunk works itself out, hardly ever experience it now at 18K+
- I've never experienced the alignment issues you did with the side panels, and I've been in there a bunch
For those interested in exploring a buyback deal in the mid atlantic area, I believe the dealership in Fredericksburg just took two more in from a dealer out west (Seattle?). Talk to the young sales guy, Greg, he rides one and knows the bike inside out. I bought mine from him, a stellar experience.
