1997 electra glide standard is my current ride. No sitting other than in winter. Approaching 200,000 miles. Lots and lots in the USA. Much better roads and weather.

Beautiful photo. I also love the ST1300 (one of my favorites) and was considering purchasing one, but I already have a '16 F6B & '07 Springer Classic, so that's enough for me.

Got rid of my two back in July last year. Picked up a GS Adventure in August and an RnineT Racer S in September.

Thanks!
It’s actually a BMW K1600 GT Sport, but I can see the similarities to the ST1300.

Apologies.
Love the BMW's as well, and their cars are actually my favorite.

Both are similar looking, and the ST also came in a similar color.

No need to apologise, I didn’t take it in a bad way lol.
It’s hard to tell what it is since the bike is small in that photo, it can also pass for an FJR, a Concours... they all look alike from far away.

My current bike is a Suzuki GSX-R 750 K4/K5 with some personal mods.
Thought about upgrading to an 1000 K7/K8 but that´s on hold since the black GMT ate my wallet last Thursday.

I have 3. Ducati multistrada 950 for touring, a ducati monster 1200s for cafe racing or track work, and a ktm duke 390 for daily rides around town.

The 2 ducatis are heat machines more so the monster. The ktm is super light and nimble for daily runs.

Lots of power, but didn't much care for how that power was transmitted through the shaft drive.
