Just for reference, I bought my '04 ABS in July of '05 used with 2,700 miles on it for $10,998. At $10,500, it's a steal for a 2012. What are waiting for?

Trust me I am driving the wife and one adult child still living at home a bit nuts, but refuse to pull the trigger until other matters are dealt with first.
Funny how the wife all of a sudden likes the looks of the Goldwing with the armrests. She would likely ride with me once or twice a year so I don't think a Goldwing will be in the family. I did sit on a used one and I swear I was so comfy I think I could watch a day of football from it without any discomfort.
I get it. I came off of an '81 GoldWing Interstate and a new wing was in the mix prior to purchase. Since I never ride two up, the ST was my choice. Ironically my ST was traded for a new wing because the wife of the prior owner did not feel comfortable without a backrest which could have been solved with either a top box or aftermarket backrest.
Good luck!
There are deals out there on 2012 ST1300s. I waited until I saw one on the West Coast for under $12,000. Yeah, I had to travel 1,280 miles to go get it, but it was worth it. Just for reference, I had a dealer near Portland tell Justin and I, he would have sold us one for $500 less than what I paid, but both Justin and I felt that was great, but since he didn't advertise, how were we supposed to know? If anyone in the Portland area wants a good deal on one (and if they still have it) PM me.
My 2012 had been out of the crate for 1.5 years. It had 16 miles on it when I picked it up. I can live with that!
As for bringing ST1300s into CA, No problem, DMV didn't give me any grief at all!
Fyi I just found a new 2012 abs st1300 black in color for $10200 brand new out the door price in Washington MO at JW cycles. Phone 1 877 564 5794. I know nothing about the dealer just found it on cycletrader. I don't even know if they still have it
I'm confused. So no new STs have been shipped to the U.S. since 2012? Honda still making them or is that line shut down?
If you buy from out of state you'll pay the sales tax on the new-never-been-registered bike... Well that is how it worked here in AZ.
I'd do a fly-n-ride to get an ABS bike if the local ones are not ABS...
