I appreciate that we are all different, and have different needs. One may spend their money any way they choose, its not my business. Whatever makes you happy. What does make me scratch my head however is when people state things that are simply incorrect. Like how difficult it is to find parts for an ST1100. Yes, you can't simply walk into a dealership and purchase every single part you need. But any part, and I do mean any, is readily available. If not new Honda or aftermarket, then used through Ebay, Craigslist, FB, and the bike breakers. Its all available and simply takes a Google search to find. Run the part number, and there it is. Does anyone even check before saying "Oh, thats unobtainium!" ??? When I see those posts and look for myself, in 5 minutes, there are usually 3-4 vendors ready to take my money for that exact part. Now I'm sure someone will point out that I'm talking about used parts. Yes, that I am. Were you really going to spend premium Honda OEM bucks on a $2000K machine? Doubtful. The ability to order OEM Honda parts is entirely irrelevant to keeping a 20+yr old machine on the road. Since the ST1100 is as reliable as an anvil, it doesn't matter.
