Honda ST1100A description

I have owned this motorcycle for 16 years. It is in exceptional condition. There are some very minor scratches on the tank from a tank bag (pictured as best I could), but the bike otherwise has no cosmetic flaws. No mechanical issues. Always garage kept. It has been maintained with religious fervor, with most service records available from one of the most respected Honda dealerships in the Midwest. I did the oil changes myself, always with Honda factory oil and Honda filters. Less than 500 miles ago, I had a complete maintenance done, with all new fluids, filters, valve inspection/adjustment plus a new battery and new tires. This was in preparation for a 5,000 mile tour that was never done--the bike is completely plug-and-play, ready to circumnavigate the United States and beyond.

The bike has anti-lock brakes, traction control and adjustable suspension. It has a Throttlemeister throttle lock and heated grips, although the throttle side heated grip no longer heats. It comes with both factory and Corbin seat. Some of the stitching on the Corbin is coming loose, but it should be good for a season or two before recovering is needed. It also comes with a 50-liter (aka huge) top case by Givi, with a rack on the top case. The bike has sufficient cargo space, and power, for two-up touring. The V4 motor is bullet proof and properly considered one of the finest power plants ever produced by Honda.

The ST1100 is a top-notch sport touring bike that has received accolades from none other than Sonny Barger, a founding member of the Hells Angels. In his 2000 autobiography, Barger singled out the ST1100 and bemoaned the fact that he couldn't ride one because Angels must ride Harleys:

"If I could, I would seriously consider riding a Honda ST1100 or a BMW. We really missed the boat by not switching over to the Japanese models when they began building bigger bikes. I'll usually say "(Expletive) Harley-Davidson. You can buy an ST1100 and the (expletive) will do 110 miles per hour right from the factory all day long." -- Hell's Angel, The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club

Would prefer local pickup but am willing to work with buyers on shipping.

2014 Honda CTX700 Recalled in Canada for ABS Issue

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Transport Canada announced a recall for the new Honda CTX700 because of a manufacturing error in its anti-lock braking system. The Canadian recall applies to both the CTX700N and the partially-faired CTX700T (known simply as the Honda CTX700 in the U.S. market and other markets.) According to the recall notice, the ABS modulator may have been manufactured incorrectly and could potentially fail, allowing the front and/or rear wheels to lock up under heavy braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
