Call me crazy but I'm actually considering this bike.

[limeex2]

ST1100
DL650
1050 Tiger
XVZ1300 Venture (stay away from the 1200's)
FJ1300
900/955 Sprint w/bags
Kawasaki Concourse.
All moderately priced, have bags, are fun, are indestructible and have a personality. Adventure bikes are very comfy if one has longer inseams.

Regarding the ST1100, I will also add that the ride is smooth and enjoyable. I added electronic cruise control to mine and it works well for me.

Will also add that the bike will handle the twisty roads as well as a lot of other bikes. It will take curves a lot faster than I have the courage to do them. That's because I don't have the opportunity to do twisties in Nebraska.

After following some other riders through the Ozarks for a couple of days, my chicken strips were nearly all gone. So it is a good "sport" touring bike. Just what Honda designed it to be.

The ST will definitely fit that bill.
In a lot of ways it's like a giant scooter.

I will admit here my fascination with the PC800.

[JTGS850GL]

The PC800 is too "scooterish" to me. The ST still looks like a motorcycle for the most part. Seen a few without the rear saddle bags and they look pretty clean.

I've seen a lot of these things for next to nothing, people often times give them away.

Somebody should pick that one up and part it out. The parts are worth more then the whole bike in most cases. At $100 it's a no brainer.

Eh, it's just a headache, and you're starting with a tiny population of people that own these to begin with. It would probably take a lifetime to get rid 90% of the parts, aside from the most "sought after" pieces. There's no way you'd lose money of course, it's just dealing with all the eBay shenanigans too, it can be cumbersome.

For future refence.........oh, and I can't tell if it's the 700 or 1200 version. The 1200 would obviously be more "valuable".

Yeah, just because you can turn a "profit" on paper doesn't mean it's worth the time and aggravation.

Parting that bike out would be a piece of cake. Many Madura parts are next to impossible to obtain. There may not be many owners out there but they are HUNGARY for parts.

Want to sell your ST?

[alke46]

Not really. The problem would then be what to replace it with. I don't see anything out there that I would be better off with.

Nice ones aren't too expensive:

Yep, looking at one now locally for $1900. Has about 61K miles on it and in decent condition.

Great bikes!
