There's no difference engine wise between the police and civil version of the ST1300. It's simply a very powerfull machine.

Actually mine is a California version and it has a police tune on the ECU. This was double checked with the fleet mechanic that worked on the bike just to be positive because I couldn't understand why the crappy mileage. Please make sure to check your references before continuing just like the other dude that kept saying the same thing. Cheers bud

That's not right I'm afraid, trust me I do know. You are very much the one who needs to check their references. The CHP ECU tune has exactly the same power output, but has maximum speed restricted to 120mph due to the way the police bikes are loaded, so if you really want to make a thing about it, it's actually slower than a civilian model which will top out at around 140-145mph. This is usually fixed with a change of ECU to a civilian spec, and is a very common mod, as long as you can find a civilian ECU (they are getting rare and fetch a good price). So now you know, and you're very welcome. 😊 And before you delete this post as well as my original polite and well- meaning post, it’s been screenshotted and posted on several bike forums.

I'll tell you what I'll even take it a step further you say that 145 on civilian is top speed? I will take my bike all the way to the 160 Mark and accelerate past that and we will switch over to GPS miles per hour 🙂 maybe that will open your eyes a bit what do you say want to make a bet on it? I've got about $5,000 to throw around for a playful bet. Just let me know. You group guys never scare me in the slightest I've been doing this a long time I've already pushed this bike to his limit I am well aware of its capabilities and what it can do lol I just love the groups all the snivly stuck up people that think they know everything until they get smacked in the face with a ridiculous reality check.

This shows you don’t need to pay stupid prices for a decent bike.

I also have a St 1300, only mine is a little older from 2002 but with ABS. The bike is excellent on the road, I often travel on long routes and I can't wait for it to warm up and for spring and summer to come. my next trip should be 650km. The Bike is a good runner in both dry and wet conditions. I recommend it.. 👍

Change out to Delkevic or Two Brothers exhaust then you’ll get Honda growl, but also dissipate the heat coming off OEM exhaust as an inherent thing with ST 1300’s. Put a Givi trunk with back rest and the lady should be comfortable. The attenuation of after market exhaust with keep your speed creep less in urban environs.

I've done every autobahn and every mountain pass in Europe on my St. The latest top tourers might be 5% better but cost 800% more than my 2004 model. I've fitted sat nav, heated grips and seat and a simple gadget to hold the throttle open like a cruise control. I can't justify changing it for anything else. It's absolutely superb.

Nice!!!!

Awsome! i own a ST1100 1999 and it is just fabulous planning on a 700 km trip ( 437.5 miles ) ( one day trip then return a week later ) in early June. i look so much into it. Mind you i live in Québec , Canada... so we are denied from riding because of the snow and the minus 15 F temperature. But spring is here wooohooooo!

I never owned an ST1300 but I worked for a Honda dealer. We sponsored a group ride every month during the riding season and if I was not riding my VFR I would pull and ST off the used bike line and ride that. What a fantastic bike. It's as comfortable as any Gold Wing and as sporty as my VFR. I wish I had one.

I have this bike and use it almost daily, and it is indeed an excellent bike. I live in Dubai and the temperature sometimes reaches 45 degrees Celsius. However, it works perfectly despite the high temperatures in the summer. I got it a year ago from Copart auction. And this bike has excellent places for storage, two large boxes on the right and left, and a back box, and it holds a lot of things. I even go to the Hypermarket and buy many things, and they all fit into it very well. As for the extras, I installed a Celsius Gauge on it, as well as a digital electronic speedometer, as well as gear Indicator, as well as tire pressure monitoring device.

Had one of these for a while, turbine silky smooth power! My only concern with an older machine would be replacing old brake line. There’s a lot on the bike and could be costly! I once “popped out for breakfast” and ended up doing 450 mile round trip!🤣 it’s that comfy 👍🏻

Just put my 06 ST1300 on a little over 5k mile trip and was very nice ride. Although I definitely need to put a custom seat on it. Mine does have cruise control and is a must on any bike on long trips

Iv owned a Yamaha FJR 1300 06 model since new IV done just over 165kms on her it's never missed a beat and probably 1 of the best or better motorcycle's IV owned in my 65 years on the planet iv never ridden the Honda ST 1300 but have owned and ridden a few V4 Honda bikes a VF1000 86 or 85 and the VFR750 and the VFR800.both very amazing and smooth reliable motorcycle's if i were to downgrade to something smaller and lighter it probably would be one of those last 2 VFR bike's because of my age these days i never use the power or what the FJR was designed to do and that's tour long distances across the country at a pretty quick pace as iv aged and slowed down iv come to the conclusion that because of the weight and also sometimes carrying my partner pillion passenger it's just getting a bit to much especially in stop start heavy traffic whilst out on the open roads it's a great motorcycle that will probably or definitely outlive me have you got any other suggestions on what kind of bike' And model might be worth checking out if I decided to get if i was to get further down the track stay safe and upright love from Australia 🦘🌏

Welcome to the World of the ST1300. I bought my first ST1300 in November 2005, off the dealership floor. By 2008, I was doing a 125 mile a day commute on it. Due to the high mileage I had on the 2005 by 2012, I bought a wrecked 2004 ST1300, that had 31K miles. I fixed it, a year later (2013), bought a 2010 with 1.5Kmiles, fixed that, in 2014, bought another wrecked 2004 with unknown miles on it, fixed it. Then in 2015, I bought a 2012, off the dealership floor. So, with the five ST1300s, that I have owned: 2005 - 174.3K miles (sold to a son, 2013), 2004#1-37K miles (I still own), 2010 - 100K miles (sold to a son

I have the 2006 ST1300PA and love it. I went for a 890km (553 miles) ride one day last summer and could have kept on going. You see some guys on youtube doing a lot more on their ST1300 and that bike seems to just eat up the miles. I think the excellent wind protection really helps with rider fatigue plus I threw a sheep skin on the seat for extra comfort. Thanks for posting your review. Would love to see more on your Android riding system (I'm intrigued).

I have told you before I have a 2004 Honda ST 1300, and I love my bike! I have tried to tell my friends how fast and powerful this bike is, and they never believe me until they ride. I have juiced guys on 600 sport bikes to a certain speed, I wish I could rev up to 14000, if that was the case they never catch me!... lol blessings to you and your family stay and ride safe.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm really narrowing down on the ST1300 as my next bike. I like the mix between sport bike and touring bike. My brother has a Goldwing and it just seems a little too big and heavy and sport bikes don't have the storage I want and want a little more comfortable seating position. My last bike was a used Honda Pacific Coast PC800 I picked up not running at a garage sale for $500. Fixed it up and rode it for a few years, then sold it for $2500. Opinions are polarized on the PC800 since it sorta looks like a big scooter but I really liked its storage space and features. My biggest gripe with it was it needed another gear to be smooth at highway speeds. At 70-75 mph, RPM was way too high. Anyway, thanks again for sharing the video. Did you, or can you, do a video on that Android Play system? I'm a sucker for tech gadgets. What is the model number and what does it display? Just GPS navigation data or does it tie into the bikes systems at all?

So the tire is on backwards I just don't really want to take the time and energy to switch it it has yet to present me with a problem but the person I bought it from put it on backwards I did the front one correct when I did it in my garage obviously but I did not put the back one on it was already on when I bought the bike so I figure I'll just wait till it's worn out I don't ride it in the rain much so it shouldn't present a problem problem
