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. |

Honda VFR1200F Launch: Tokyo (no) Show
Wed, 21 Oct 2009IF YOU'VE never been to the Tokyo show before, let me tell you this: you’re missing nowt.‘You picked a bad year to come,’ said the Yamaha designer and he was spot on. Three halls of mainly Japanese car manufacturers and lots of empty spaces wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Maybe my expectations were too great, maybe I should have been expecting my glass to be half empty?
Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba
Fri, 24 Jun 2011This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.
Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season
Thu, 22 Oct 2009Unlike with most athletes, motorcycle racers’ faces remain hidden during competition. Except for promotional events or pre- and post-race interviews, the faces of our racing heroes are shielded under protective helmets with tinted visors. You don’t see the same human emotion in their faces like you can when soccer players score a goal or baseball players hit a home run.
