I feel what you are thinking Joe but they have to be competitive, MSRP on this version probably start out @ $22,000 and the GL version base model @ $28,000I'm thinking it will probably hit the 30k mark... ouch.. but, we'll see.
Current pricing is just short of $25K to $29K. I don't see how a new generation could go backward $3K in price.I feel what you are thinking Joe but they have to be competitive, MSRP on this version probably start out @ $22,000 and the GL version base model @ $28,000
Look at the naked pics. You can see them on either side.Where's the radiator(s)
Yeah, I know... I remember when my 1st 2 GL1800 ABS versions were close to what I got my Super Tenere for... then when they started all that package pricing stuff to get abs it jumped quickly.I feel what you are thinking Joe but they have to be competitive, MSRP on this version probably start out @ $22,000 and the GL version base model @ $28,000
Holy crap, that's Motus territory.I'm thinking it will probably hit the 30k mark... ouch.. but, we'll see.
I guess we will know in November---- I am excited about the ST version--from what I hear they are light and much faster with awesome suspension upgrades as the pics represent. Honda will also offer an automatic and manual shift version. FJR guys will be cryingYeah, I know...

ST version?? Different than the pictured GW?I guess we will know in November---- I am excited about the ST version--from what I hear they are light and much faster with awesome suspension upgrades as the pics represent.

look at post #98ST version?? Different than the pictured GW?
And #71look at post #98
Work is blocking that image but assume it's the same as #71 and maybe #79? Bottom line is you think the new GW has some ST similarities... light and fast?look at post #98
From what I'm hearing it more STish than the F6B ever was----gonna find out soonNot really the ST version, more accurately, the F6B version. But, pretty close to ST-ish.
Well, I've had 2 GL1800s and the difference between them and the ST is not as large as many would think.. slimming the fairing and saddlebags down some would give it a lighter appearance.From what I'm hearing it more STish than the F6B ever was----gonna find out soon
If what I'm hearing is true it is lighter, more powerful with plenty of tech upgrades. New frame and suspension. Engine will be smaller and upgraded too.If they can truly refresh the wing, hopefully lighten it up a little, and still add the tech so many like it will be a tough thing to resist.
I was at the Hub in Arkansas early this year in Feb,I met two older gentlemen riding ST1100's. One was 89 years old from TX and the other I think 84 from Mississippi and they would meet up twice a year and ride together, drink a little moonshine and talk about whatever (they loved sportbikes and had some classics in earlier years). I had the pleasure of riding with them (they wore leather and no helmets) and we shared some moonshine. One of em made a comment about the ST1300 and he wanted one as soon as his ST1100 wears out. He had bought his 1100 new 1992 and hadn't worn it out yet with over 200,000 miles.Would have liked to have been around when the ST1300 was just rumors. Probably an exciting time, especially when it came out and was so different from the ST1100
