I've seen it in person, more than once.I saw it in person...it's ugly.
Yeah wasn't sure about the predator headlight but it's growing on me.I've seen it in person, more than once.
Thought it was ugly in pictures, and it is.

The 1300GS is not as weird now that it's been out a year, but the Adventure model is awful and I don't think it will improve with time.
Are we talking about bikes or mates?After the tenth beer, it is beautiful. What's more, the driver doesn't see the ugliness when he's sitting on it.
Why? That NT1100 is what I rate as "living room floor ADV bike", plagued with gizmos...Another couple of youngster votes for: doomed to extinction.
Pictures?Picked up my Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello on Wednesday and it's back in the shop already! Just for the break in service! After 600 miles in windy and cold conditions I can tell you the sport touring bike is alive and well. Daboo is right, it's amazing what a good job a properly designed smaller fairing can do to keep the wind off you.
It behooves me to say that I've never seen or heard of a 1999 (or even a 2000) ST1300.I must say that even a 25 y/old ST13, it doesn't gives out its age. Especially compared to the competitors of the same age.
Fixed it, but the point remainsIt behooves me to say that I've never seen or heard of a 1999 (or even a 2000) ST1300.
Absolutely agree. My '96 and '01 1100s are both still fantastic bikes.Fixed it, but the point remains
yea, it has a bunch of buttons, but it's the only bike even closely resembling a sport touring bike available from mother HondaWhy? That NT1100 is what I rate as "living room floor ADV bike", plagued with gizmos...
2-cyl, chain, no tip over protection, lacks weather protection, dazzling LED headlights, insectoid appearance, proprietary workshop only service, switch-pods like game-controllers, TFD too bright, required WiFi connection, emitting RF-radiation on levels that it blows away any GPS reception...
Yeah... I would like to fumble on those in heavy weather with thick, insulated, GoreTex winter-gloves... not...
Save your breath unless it’s a 1996 modelyea, it has a bunch of buttons, but it's the only bike even closely resembling a sport touring bike available from mother Honda
It was Europe's #1 selling sport tourer in 2023 with 66% of buyers choosing the DCT version
it has a fairing with integrated turn signals, 5-way adjustable windshield, led lights, comes with saddlebags that will each hold a full-face helmet, rear luggage rack (trunk available), has heated grips, cruise control, a center stand, USB port, 6 axis IMU, blue tooth/apple car play, 6 speed manual or DCT available, electronic suspension available, 100 hp and 82 lb ft of torque
and they are not offering it to us in the US. Unforgivable on Honda's part.
as far as chain drive goes, unless you want a Goldwing, a BMW or a Moto Guzzi...you're getting a chain these days (Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, Ducati are all chain drive)
It's hard to sell a $30K bike when you sell a $10K bike that does 90% of what the expensive one does.The latest wings with DCT are quite maneuverable, which may be why they dropped the ST.
That's legitimate. Might quibble about the 90% part, but cynicism is probably a better divining rod than other tools in the toolbox.It's hard to sell a $30K bike when you sell a $10K bike that does 90% of what the expensive one does.
