Hello. I am buying a 2005 ST1300 that appears well kept for an 18-year-old sport tourer. Has 31K on the odometer and upon my inspection cannot find anything wrong. No apparent leaks and the engine sounds smooth.
Any advice on this bike? The current owner is a motorcycle person to the highest degree.......has 16 bikes total that he rides and said his only complaint as this is his third ST is the heat that can be really bad that the bike emits from the fairing area. He said this is really only a issue on like days you ride in the 80's or better.
I have had obviously motorcycles in the past but never a sport tourer. I was looking at Yamaha and Kawasaki too but this bike like I said is very well kept and seems like a good find.
