2012 Honda ST1300 ABS Review

The best of Both Worlds.
ST1300, The Favored Long-Haul Ride.
Sport-touring bikes have to do double-duty, and do both well. The Honda ST1300 is proof that if you start out with the world’s ultimate touring bike and the world’s best sportbikes, you can create something magical. One part long-distance hauler, one part canyon-carving ace, ST1300 combines Gold Wing-inspired luxury with CBR-derived performance. Its wind-tunnel-honed bodywork and hard saddlebags perfectly complement a powerful V-4 engine, shaft drive, a race-bred chassis, and ABS. The result? A bike that’s equally at home swallowing up miles of blacktop as it is dicing through the twistiest of alpine passes. And all without ever breaking a sweat.
Long distance adventure is best experienced aboard a machine that's keenly in tune with your riding senses. For years, the Honda ST1300® has answered the call of the open road by setting the standard for power and handling in a package that's the perfect fit for crisscrossing the USA or just enjoying a long weekend on the road. Equipped with a powerful 1261cc V-4 engine and Honda's sophisticated Programmed Fuel Injection, plus full-coverage bodywork, a three-way adjustable rider's seat, a motor-driven adjustable windscreen, dual saddlebags and more, the ST1300 remains the choice of dedicated long-haul riders.

Availability: December 2011
