No. Just mentioning the MC disc is a more complex beast with more expensive material.

Actually as a machinist, both rotors are about equal. Both need machining, the cast iron needs the casting process and the steel needs to be heat treated.

Economies of scale are huge on cars. Honda sold 317,909 Civics last year. That's 1,271,636 brake rotors.

I know this is of no means (Honda doesn't read these forums
) But I would like to see a poll started listing improvements mentioned here and have us readers vote on it for a week. The five highest voted on improvements will be selected and we can figure the added cost to the "improved upgraded modern" ST1300.
I would like to suggest what I think are good examples:
#1 electronic cruise control
#2 tapered bearings for the steering head
#3 Quality 1 piece needle flange bearing for rear wheel
#4 self cancelling turn signals
#5 electronic throttle control

You know what is probably the number one mod GoldWing riders make? They disconnect that wire for self cancelling turn signals... DAMHIKT. It seems Fred H. now has a mod that will reset the timer after the brakes are hit.

I could be wrong but I think this has been done a few times already. The result is always the same, we all want everything at a cheap price.I know this is of no means (Honda doesn't read these forums

I want at least the common accessories so I don't have to wait for the warranty to expire to add heated grips, top box, etc.

That was in 2010. Look here. And here.
FWIW, after the VFR1200F-DCT was introduced we had a thread that collected just this kind of information. Dinkie Diesel crunched the numbers and I wrote up a report and sent it to my contact at Honda. He reviewed it and sent it on to the powers that be in California and Japan.

Perhaps a nice electrical package with mentioned systems above, just a teaser of electric cruise cont. & self cancelling turn signals would appease many here. New bikes gettin sold--yeah!

Re: Replacement for the Honda ST1300 in 2014?
I'm not clear. Are you saying you think adding accessories will void the warranty? I've never heard of someone denied warranty because they added accessories.
Re: Replacement for the Honda ST1300 in 2014?
I had the same issue with my new '95 S-10 truck- dealer didn't warranty my failed alternator because I had a Pioneer CD player installed, even though the truck was in for the same problem before I installed that stereo, and the problem continued after I put the OEM back in to prove my point. I ended up with a used alternator from a boneyard, paid for out of my pocket.
I have little use for dealers or warranties these days...and I've worked at a couple.
I live in New England...the Kawasaki dealer I bought my KLR from wouldn't even do the exhaust recall because I had a tall windshield. Yamaha dealer didn't want to warranty a seat on my snowmobile (common issue with water getting through to the cushion on 2003 RX-1s) because I had a heated shield plug installed. That one took a couple calls to Yamaha to get covered. I know about the Magnuson-Moss act...but apparently many dealers either haven't, or don't care. Yet another reason it will be nice when I'm out of this area. One of the reasons I specifically purchased a used ST was to avoid the warranty. I just ignored the warranty with my KLR and fixed everything myself.

Re: Replacement for the Honda ST1300 in 2014?
Wow! I've never experienced this! I've never had any issues with warranty with my own wring and in fact, one dealer asked me to walk him through how I wired an aux output so he wouldn't mess up the wires while disassembling the plastic.nhdiesel;1662277I said:

At the Chevy dealer I worked at, we had a standing order that if any aftermarket wiring was even remotely close to being in our way, cut it out and give it back to the customer. Happened a lot with aftermarket remote starters. Though those were usually the cause of no-starts.

Interesting. That 'Strom takes a couple of design cues from the last two versions of the Multistrada. Nice-looking package, beaky as it is.

October Motorcyclist has pictures of a prototype. Might be the angle of the photos, but the beak doesn't look as pronounced as on the concept.Interesting new VStrom concept! It's got a beak, it will be good.
