Re: Replacement for the Honda ST1300 in 2014?
We had to wait a couple years on the original ST1100 as well.True. We had to wait three years for the CB1100!
A VFR1200T will have different ergos than the T (my prediction.) If/when this bike hits our shores, I'll be in line. DCT.They would have to improve the ergonomics of the VFR before I would ever choose one over an ST1300. The VFR is a fine bike but it is no Sport Tourer unless your 5'10 or less or don 't mind your legs cramped behind you. I personally like the fact that the ST1300 is kind of tank especially when you do some long hours sharing the interstate with trucks like I did today. I plan on keeping mine for a long time.
I've read this before about the 13. Gotta say tho, my ol' 750 VFR was very stable, never had a problem. I don't think it's a question of weight but geometry and aerodynamics.FWIW, I've found that my FJR feels less affected by truck turbulence than my ST did, even though the FJR weighs 100 lbs less.
