2010-2015 Honda ST1300

The Honda ST1300 is a touring bike and a more-than-worthy successor to the ST1100. The ST1300 1,261 cc V4 engine had a cassette-type five-speed transmission and a two-element fuel-tank. The ST1300 features a standard riding posture, a liquid-cooled engine with shaft drive, and a fully faired body with integral hard panniers as standard. The next-generation ST comes to elevate that original premise to a higher level with a whole new set of credentials, offering even more power, more comfort, and better handling.

About the 2010-2015 Honda ST1300

Honda approached the ST1300’s development by vastly refining and expanding upon the ST1100 concept. Like the original, the ST1300 is powered by a liquid-cooled, longitudinally mounted 90-degree V-4 engine with four valves per cylinder, and shaft final drive. Its all-enclosing, sleek bodywork incorporates removable saddlebags.

Rather than steel, the new bike’s “tuned flex” frame is composed of triple box-section aluminum spars. Honda says it’s much stronger than the original, yet weighs 2.4 pounds less. Likewise, the new aluminum swingarm is lighter at 1.9 pounds.

The V-4 engine is also all-new, its over-square bore and stroke of 78 x 66mm resulting in a displacement of 1,261cc. The compression ratio has been increased from 10.0 to 10.8:1. Honda recommends 92-PON fuel for best performance, but the bike has an anti-knock sensor so it gets by on fuels rated as low as 87 just fine.

With a 360-degree crankshaft and dual counter-balancers, the engine is smooth enough that Honda engineers solidly mounted it as a stressed member in the chassis. The drivetrain is equipped with dampers on the transmission main shaft, clutch, and driveshaft.

The ST offers many of the little amenities, including two helmet hooks, tip over bars hidden below plastic covers, two fairing pockets, excellent mirrors that pop off upon impact, under seat storage to hold a pair of winter gloves, a luggage rack and a 660-watt alternator. The front brake lever has an adjuster wheel to set the distance from the lever to the grip.
