Just gave my Ducati M696 to my son and looking to get a nice Pan Euro
TOTALLY UNDECIDED on whether that should be a ST1100 {preferably with ABS and TCS} OR a ST1300 with ABS and CBS
I rode a St100 many many years ago and the only issue I found is that I am short arsed with an inside leg measurement of 29"
So lots older now I am NOT looking to be doing tip toe stops and yes I know about the adjustable seat and lower after market seats and thinking about {I really need to be} buying a new pair of boots and the
Daytona M-Star GTX Boots look the business and will add a wee bit to my leg length as well.
Looking to spend up to £3,000 but see many ST1100's at just over {and under} £1,000 and finding and purchasing either a ST1100 {will need to be immaculate} or an ST1300 {seems to be many nice looking bikes at this price} for around £2,000 to £2,500 would be lovely
Also what tyres should I be wanting on the ST1100 and the ST1300
Also what issues should I be looking for {I know all about leaking fork seals} and corroded forks {the working part of the forks} and I see most of the bikes that are of any interest will need the bottom part of the forks refinished {repainted}
SORRY for the multiple questions :-(
many thanks in anticipation
David
