Does anyone here have or is very familiar with this bike? I have been toying with the idea of replacing my ST1300 with one of these if I get tired of the weight and bulkiness of my ST and wish to ride a few more years before I decide it's time to quit riding. I have only owned one chain driven bike, my 1976 RD400 2-stroke twin. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I got my next bike, an GS850G Suzuki shaftie. I've never had a chain drive motorcycle since then, but I'm well aware that chains have improved leaps and bounds in the 35 years since I sold the RD. With the O-ring chains used now with almost no maintenance requirements beyond occasional cleaning up and some chain wax, I don't think chain final drive is an issue today, so that would be pretty much a non issue for me. I think I would miss the fairing pockets and saddle bags, but the latter could be readily resolved with soft luggage or GIVI hard bags, if there is such a thing. Since I left the RD behind, I have owned two in-line fours and two V4's, but never a V twin. However, a 90 degree 1000cc V twin that makes 108HP at the rear wheel and weighs more than 200 lbs less than the ST1300 kind of appeals to me. I am just looking for some input here, anyone?
