If it makes you feel better, my son dropped "his" '05 ST1300 after buying it from me. I rode it for 174.3K miles and the only time it was on the ground was when someone knocked me off at 25mph. (Doesn't count as a drop..
My '04#1 & I found ourselves down during training, but again it wasn't a drop, but a crash...doing about 25 when the front wheel slid out from under me.
Other then those two times, none of my ST1300s have seen the ground when I was riding them. But since I bought both '04 & the 10 pre-crashed (you know, like pre-washed), I figured that saved me the trouble of having to drop/crash them myself!
