Honda ST1300 ABS Cruiser reviews

Awesome street- and time-tested ride. Check this background information out. https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006models-Honda-GoldWing https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006models-Honda-GoldWing Show less

Overall it's a great bike. The factory seat was absolute garbage, but once it was replaced with a better aftermarket seat, it was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Performance was fine; you never needed more power to feel safe getting on the freeway, but full power acceleration was not sporty by any means. It's a great cruiser and with so few of them around they always draw at least a few looks. Show less

I can't say enough about this beauty! Old school look, excellent performance, handling, efficiency, very low maintenance as most Honda's are and just a blast to drive! Upgrades are very easy to do and cost effective. Super under-rated sleeper! Show less

One of my favorite bikes! It’s so easy and comfortable to ride. Has a very wide turning Radius unlike other chopper style bikes! Definitely turns heads! And it’s a Honda… will last forever! Nice bike!! Wish I didn’t have to sell mine!! Show less

This has been a splendid bike, but at 725lb., my arrival at 72 yrs. of age, tho fit, has raised questions about my continuing ability to control it at very low speeds. The decision was hastened by the arrival of a 430 Yamaha triple in the fleet. The lighter bike has restored my confidence and almost left me feeling like a kid again. Show less

This is the classic "street bike" that I knew as a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's but with a modern kick. The EFI and the modern suspension and brakes make the bike a blast to ride as does the neutral (and to me more natural) seating position. The bike has power, great handling and a great "eye" factor that is hard to beat. It's also a trip down memory lane for me and a lot of people who had CB's (a 400 Super Sport) as a first bike or the main bike back in the day. Try it - you will love it. Show less

All I can say is "Wow, what a trike." It's a Viper Trike from CSC. My upgrades are a fully independent rear and slotted disk, extra full tank, 6 degree steering rack with chrome front rims and Ground Effects stone guard on the whole bike. Show less

After debating the purchase of a new motorcycle for over four years, I finally decided that a sport touring bike would best suit my needs. As I am unwilling to trump up the 2012 ST1300's sporting abilities and remembering it is a sport-toruing motorcycle leaning more toward the touring side of the equation with abundant power and very agile handling. Although it took some getting used to, the combined braking system which links the front and rear brakes to the brake pedal and lever works excellent along with standard ABS. I cannot say enough about the smoothness of the V4 engine. It revs so easily, it's rpm. redline comes up very quick because of its smooth whirring sound power is deceptively quiet and vibration free. Open the throttle and about the time it starts to growl, you are approaching triple digits! It has great range with over seven gallons of fuel capacity and very economical averaging a little over 40 mpg. It is a sporting bike that you can ride in a comfortable position for long distances. I also like the electronic adjustable windshield which offers excellent protection and also does a great job of wind buffeting. A low center of gravity that is well balanced inspires confidence in its handling. Although I must add the fact of the bike is more capable than I am a rider at this point of ownership, but with each ride I am more confident in its abilities and mine. With its weight of over 700 lbs., this is a very comfortable machine to ride and easy to maneuver. There are similar models that have more power and some that cost more but there are not any that are better in my opinion. I'm glad to be a part of the Sport Touring community, I have not been disappointed and I am very happy with the purchase of my ST1300ABS. At 55, I love the experience of riding again and I have no complaints. The only cons I have are the lack of a gear indicator and no self-cancelling directional signals and minor engine heat, but the pros more than make up for the drawbacks. Otherwise, it's simply an awesome machine. I want to ride. Show less

I bought it new back in 2004 and I have never put this many miles on one bike before. She is running as strong as the day I brought it home back in 2004. Change oil and filter, spark plugs, brake pads, headlight and tires. I head out tomorrow to the west coast and not worry about it. Show less

Honda recently announced they will resume production of the "highly regarded" Honda ST1300 for 2012. There are no significant changes from 2010 except that ABS is now standard. So is Black (civilian) and White (police). Show less
