I have a 2010 St1300 with 75,000 miles. Calling the rear suspension "harsh" is probably overstating it. It's more like firm. I thought it was fine until I rode another ST1300 which is a few years newer with less than half the miles.
This other ST had a slightly more comfortable ride. Mine isn't bad enough that I'd be interested in replacing the shock, but I would be interested in knowing if I might have bodged the pre-load when I replaced the fluid or if it's just a symptom of age/miles.
