I'm the lucky owner of two ST1100s
1998 ST1100 in immaculate condition and good maintenance history. 100,000km but no ABS or TCS
2001 ST1100 ex UK, 200,000km, no maintenance history. Factory ABS & TCS
I can only keep one, not both.
Which one should I sell ?
I'm not a highly experienced rider and so favour the ABS & TCS for extra safety.
But discussion with the Honda service manager today (I dropped off the newer ST1100 to get new tyres, fluids & filters) and he suggested that the ABS was a risk as the control module is a very expensive replacement and the ABS wasn't that good being such an old design.
I generally don't ride in the rain or on gravel, but may do so if the ABS & TCS provides a significant benefit.
