It must be a mental problem, at least that is what the wife says.
I just added another ST1300 to the stable. I found a deal on Craigslist :bow1:that I just couldn?t pass up. It started at $3500 and no one came to look at it.
2003 ST1300 77,000 miles. Stock. Not a change anywhere. Paint good, Some plastic is faded. Runs great. New front tire, Rear tire is a Battle Ax Bridgestone with over 15,000 miles on it with room for more, with generous ?chicken strips? on the tires. I don?t think it was beaten or rode hard. Paint is in real good shape.
Bike has sat for the last two years, prior owner passed and wife took a while to deal with it. Bike was bought in Topeka KS and spent most it?s miles in the Midwest. I?m guessing that is why the lower plastic is stained so bad.
Original owner moved around a bit, ended up here in Seattle about 7 years ago and it hasn?t been ridden in almost three years.
What I have found so far;
The good?
Oil changed as Honda prescribes, that?s where the records stop
The Bad?
That?s all that was done. No valve checks, that I can find. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
So, time to take it all apart and start from scratch. Even the factory recalls were not done. Once I take it apart, I will take it to the stealer for the factory safety updates. It will be my winter project since the other two bikes are current on service.
Oh yea ?there is another good. I picked it up for $2300.
Take a look ?
