It's fun to hit 75 mph in 2nd gear on my 01.He's impressed that the 1300 will wheelie but feels less stable at higher speeds. The 1100 will wheelie also, but with more effort, this is directly attributable to the 1100s 2 inch longer wheel base, add 2 inches to the 1300 or any bike for that matter and it will be much less prone to lifting the front wheel. Not really a factor for consideration in a sport touring bike. Curious as to the gearing between the 2 as the 1100 seems it could benefit from a slight gear reduction at times.
