I had the ST1300 out and was lapping with that today. I was at roughly 8-8.5 / 10 of my own personal riding limits but I can now honestly say I know where the limits of the ST1300 are. They are roughly at 8-8.5 of my own limits. I had 1.5 butt cheeks off the seat, hanging off like a mofo, AND my foot was still dragging thru the corner. I also bubbled / boogered up the tires, not ONLY the rear tire but the front tire as well... I can't think when I've ever bubbled a front tire before on a bike I owned (other then on a track bike) I've bubbled rear before easily but not front. I was also I believe at the limits of adhesion as well for a sport touring tire, they were getting kind of greasy towards the limit, I felt that if I were to push any further the tire would have let go...I got the rear to dance... All in all I for a 'sport tour' tire they handled very well, the front was kind of square to begin with it was used for roughly 12k and had a nice flat spot on it, the rear is new about 2k on it.
Front tire was bubbling...
haha full lean right to the edges...I was wearing the word "Storm" on the front tire, I've only ever worn out the rear before...
rear is right to the edge as well, weeee...
