Advice on purchase of 2016 ST 1300

[omidathari]

Hi folks,
There is a 2016 ST1300 for sale that was supposed to be a police bike but it was never fully commisioned as a police bike and it sat in the dealership for a long time. It has under 10 miles on it and the fellow says he will take $4000 (started at $6500). What do you guys think about this bike. I have no experience with these bikes and would really like to get some insight. What I have heard is they are great bikes but too much heat from the engine, weird master cyclinder on the brake caliper, and possible high speed wobble.
Thanks very much in advance.

I dont know! When I looked at it it seemed to make sense but who knows. It was stored in a dusty backyard when I saw it.
What are they worth really. He said they took the plastic off to commision the bike and never put it back together.

If all the plastic were available, I'd take a good look at it. Could be a great bike.

All the plastic is available in its box and they look brand new. My issue is I have no idea about these bikes. What they are worth, etc.

If you do buy it It'll need a new battery. Also change all the fluids (Oil, brake, clutch, final drive and coolant) and I'd replace the tires. 10 years is a very long time to sit.

If I lived in Phoenix it would already be in my garage. Or, @Igofar s

Does it run smoothly at idle? And does the gas not stink? 10 miles or 10,000 miles. Fuel injectors don't like not being used.

He cranked it over and started on the first crank totally cold and sounded like a new machine.

I would buy it for that price as that is a great deal!!
