1993 Honda ST-1100 sport touring bike. I am the third owner, have had it since 2001 and have all the service papers since new along with the owners manual and factory tool kit.

Saddle bags detach quickly with no tools and have a flip up handle making them into a suitcase to take up to your hotel room. Adjustable height headlight, cruise control, Storage bins - one lockable - on the upper fairing. Kick stand and Centerstand.

Engine is a V-4 mounted front to back with belt driven overhead cams. This engine is more like a car engine than a bike engine. 5 speed tansmission. I have the stock quiet exhaust for it as well as the louder Two Brothers racing slip on exhaust pipes. Horsepower is right around 100 with about the same amount of Torque. This bike likes to short shift, you don't have to rev it to 10 grand to get power like a Rice Rocket. It does have plenty of kick though, and will go over 135 MPH if you hold her open

The bike has a leather Corbin saddle, and fully adjustable Heli brand handlebars. Also has a extended height tall windshield. Fairing knocks nearly all wind off the rider. You can ride in pouring down rain and not get wet at all as long as you don't stop. This bike has be ridden way into the fall and winter when other bikes are parked cause it is too cold.

Bike is Candy Apple Red and is in great shape. No one ever believes me when I tell them it is a 1993, they figure it has to be no more than 2 years old. Honda made the St-1100 just exactly like this bike up till last year, and is still making them as Police bikes. The St-1100 is the number one bike of the Iron Butt Rallys. Mine has about 23-24 thousand miles since new - need to go check to have exact miles.

Will sell outright to best offer or trade for a decent single place gyro or airplane.

Excellent identification Scott, R50S.

Thanks Chuck, 1958.

Crank-out restoration. When I bought her she was near the top in a pile of old rusting bikes. Bar-ends are re-pops and so is the rear view mirror and seat cover. Everything else is original or peroid 3-rd party. Valve covers are R60, I have yet to find a set of orig R50S covers that I like.

I ride her regularly. I trust her so much I would not fear taking off across the country on her rain or shine. Starts on a lazy kick. I gives the most relaxing ride of any bike I have ever ridden hands down and I have owned over 60 bikes.

I got rid of the Harley, and I have been riding my V-Star 100 miles a day to work, gotta love a bike you can just hop on and ride, no worries about where you are going to break down, you won't! That ST1100 is sweet, I looked at those too a while back.
