ST1300 Limited Edition ?

I have always been confused by the "need" to make a Honda look like a BMer? :unsure-2x:

Back in 1976, after just getting to my base in Germany, I bought a BMW 4door car, while waiting for my Vega to get shipped. I only had it for two or two and a half months, but I had to replace the clutch in it. After replacing that clutch (and a few parts related) I swore that I would NEVER by another BMW product! That German engineering was way OVER ENGINEERED!
Every time I go by a Mercedes or BMW dealer, I see their service bays full & always giggle at their "reliability".
 
Absofrigginlutely!

I'll have to remember to swap out the H for an M.
Years, someone made up a batch of those and I bought a few.
That particular bike had a lot of 'repaint' before I got it and the word 'Honda' is nowhere to be seen on it.
It does get some 'interesting' questions if I park it somewhere.
And I liked the red instead of the blue in the roundel since Honda is often known as 'Big Red'. ;)

That looks very good indeed. :thumbsup:

yeah, its been a few years since I checked, but the industry reliability rankings typically have most German makers near the middle to bottom, especially VW. I owned two BMW cars over the decades, both purchased new, and while I loved them when they were new, they were the only two cars I ever owned that had serious issues keeping them on the road.
 
Hi Folks, first time post but not first time reader.
I had an ST1100 in the past and always wanted to try ownership of a 1300.
I now have acquired what seems to be an ST1300 'Limited Edition' from 2008. I wasn't even aware of this status before I bought it.
I cannot find any reference to a Limited Edition here, or out in the WWW.
It appears to have some cosmetic adornments which I'd rather not keep as they look a bit out of date and in your face.
I'd like to find out what made this version a 'Limited Edition' and what extras came with it originally, if anything.
If any of the stickers on it are original, and specific to this 'edition', I guess I am stuck with them as I do like to keep things original.
Any info about this Edition are welcome. I will upload photos of the 'extras' later.
Thanks.
Still waiting on Photos. :worthless:
