You should bring the CBR 150R And 125R models to america! They are both great starter bikes, and they are both considered mopeds here. Which means 15 and 16 year olds can ride a real sport bike that has real sport bike power, gears, and rpm, instead of some ugly CVT mopeds.

Got a 2007 S.T., very good bike. I have thought when they change the design getting a new S.T. ........Wondering if I will ware this one out years down the road waiting for a design change. :)
I own a 2004 st1300 and I put 7000 miles on it last year and it is the nicest bike I have ever ridin. I just put handlebar risers on it this winter and I'm ready to put more than 7000 miles on it this year. This is truly one of the best touring bikes made.
I had a 2002 Honda ST1300A until 2 weeks ago, bought her second hand and put 30,000 trouble free miles on her in 2 years. I now have a 2010 ST1300A, I didn't even consider test riding another bike.
Why is there always some dude who feels the need to wave the flag and show his patriotism by bashing anything that isn't a Harley? I've owned Harley's and I can tell you that my ST1300 is far superior in every way to my FXR. Ride what you want, lay off the japanese bikes. When Harley finally arrives to the 21st century, then I might buy another one.
Trust me, it feels good having one sitting in the garage. Especially having one under 15,000 and not owe a penny on it. Job and brain, two good things to use and have in order to get to your goal.
I have owned a st1300 for five years now and I love the bike! Handles very well and gets lots of looks. It has an 8 gallon tank so you can go 200 miles before having to refuel. Unless I find something better I will probably end up getting a new St when I'm ready for a new bike. I have put 20,000 miles and it is still just like new!
7 gallon gas tank, around 320 miles. Now that you remind me I seen that myself and thought hum interesting. Low fuel light comes on around the last gallon gallon and half and only takes little around six gallons to top it off.
Indeed... I had a strong itch that the person I replied to was wrong... There's no way any Honda could be that inefficient. Leave that to the Harleys lol.
Had my 07 up to 120, no wobble. Don't know if this was a problem with earlier models though. My first thought though would be to check tire wear. Sometimes the tires will wear unevenly which will cause a little movement in the handle bar at higher speed. New tires would fix that.
I got the grey 07, very smooth ride and good handling for the weight. I've never really noticed the wobble myself either. I just wonder what the tire wear is on these bikes or the weight that they are hauling around? Just me on mine in general.
I tend to support quality, not my problem if Harley isn't as good quality as Honda. Oh yea, think about supporting America next time you fill up your gas tank.
Hondas are built better than HD? LMFAO On top of that, you might want to Google "General Honda" and see who's name is on your ricegrinder. Be proud of supporting Japanese companies while more and more jobs are being outsourced. When your kids get hungry, feed them your soysled.
All brands have problems. Some straight off the show room floor. I've had experience with with 2 Harley fat boys and honda gold wing, 2 magnas, 2 vtx over the years and the ST now. I wasn't impressed with the 05 Harley since it used oil straight off the show room floor. Better ride and handling with the honda in general. Just my first hand experience. Yes my experience and I will stand by it, IN GENERAL Honda makes a better quality product when set next to Harley.
Well, our firsthand experiences greatly differ. Add to that my personal values on supporting American workers and we get even further apart. HD is made/headquartered where I live - I worked on the HD Museum and attended the 105th. Ride safe.
Tell me a little bit about your first hand experience. I'm interested in hearing about some of your bike experience. This is what these comment sections are about. Be as spacific as you know how.
LMAO You want to me list every bike I've ridden or owned since my first one in 1984 - and be specific about their quirks? (which was a Honda while I was stationed at Ft. Bragg) How about you come over to the house and I'll show you the photo albums - it'll save a month of typing. Then you can hop on either the 07 Sportster or 2004 FatBoy.
Let us know about the ones that stand out. My experience causes me to go with the Honda, if your going to win a possible person over to Harley that might be passing by your going to have to do better. Harley's will sometimes use oil brand new, just a fact of Harley. Honda S.T. might have a little wobble about them Not sure yet myself. May just be tire wear. Just a fact of Honda.
Overall, HD are bult more solidly (IMO). There was too much plastic on Hondas, and, the engines on Hondas are too "whiny". Add to that I live in Milwaukee - home of Harley, and, belong to Ironworkers' Local 8 who is also very supportive of other American/Union made products. I worked on the Harley Museum. As far as foreign bikes go, BMW makes a good one, but, I still prefer Harley.
I do have to admit that I preferred the handling of the family members 07 fatboy over the 06 honda vtx 1300. I liked the sixth gear of the fatboy and seemed to do better at 60 and above than the vtx. If I ever look at the cruiser styles again down the road I would most likely go with the fatboy. Ever had experience with the v-rod? Well heading down the road on the Honda S.T.
That 6th gear is great. I'm not a huge fan of the V-rod. I prefer the cruiser type bikes. I do like the concept of having the frame on the outside of the bike (as something different)- but understand that it totally reeks of Willie G. (got to meet him when we built the HD Museum - really is a great guy) Ride safe.
exactly....the only people who don't agree with this are the overly patriotic, buy american people, who are more concerned with trailoring down to bike week with a motorcycle that supports american workers...even though a ton of the parts on the Harleys are made in Japan also. No comparison....dads linkiage on electraglide just fell apart riding back from daytona...stupid ass ball end design of it is made to wear out so you have to buy new parts. Harleys suck.
@Pilot9r Thought it was interesting I have a friend that just about rear ended someone because his clutch on his 08 Harley fell apart while riding. Think he said what ever it was was back in the motor and not the adjustment part on the outside. Another thing it was less than 5000 miles on the bike just had been on the showroom floor that long until a few months back. I would not be a happy Harly owner after something like that happend.
I understand enough that Union jobs function under the same principle that the company that isn't Union. Don't make money=bankrupt. So saying to me that hope my job is outsourced means that my Harley owner co-workers has less money to spend on a Union Harley. Your makeing it tough on Harley man!!!
IW calm down. I Support This country by paying my taxes. But what industry is entirely pure american now adays? some parts that are put on a harley are made in china or god knows were (electronic or electrical, and the Vrods design was help in part by Porsche and i thinks its the only bike id really consider buying from Harley since its the only one thats up to date by them. Yes it is good to support some company's but only those that truly deliver you a good product. V rod for instance.
85% of Harley is US made. I don't care too much for the look of the V-Rod personally - It's Willie G's pet. The newer bikes keep getting improved. Harley pays US workers Union wages and I'll support to the best of my ability US Union made products.
Are you serious? Heavy metal? That's Hoobastank for God's sake. That's like pop rock at best. There have been heavier songs written by the Beatles.... (not really)
IWlocal. I own a Harley, a triumph, and a Suzuki. And the worst of the three is without a doubt the Harley. Not a bad bike by any stretch and I still enjoy it but the fact remains it's the still the worst of the 3 in almost every aspect. I recommend you go ride some other bikes and do your research before you call Japanese or any other bikes crap. Oh and they don't call Wisconsin "the shit state" (that right it's not the cheese state in most places anymore) for nothing.
Its proven that Honda engine and reliability is IN GENERAL a whole lot better than Harley Davidson. Proven with me having two Honda's (vtx 1300 and the ST). Family having Harley's brand new and less than 15,000 and already burning a quart of oil between changing Honda's not burning a bit. Personal experience comparing apple to apple. Year to year.
A friend of mine just went over 200k miles on his Road King.Hondas are cheap and nowhere's near as good as Harley,but you can tell yourself whatever you want. (and be proud of buying Japanese in these crappy economic times-I'll support US Union made products)
Not telling myself nothing, look next time your out and count the goldwings and other Honda motorcycles. Junk products wont be around for long. Harley in general isn't junk just get some years like the 05's that burn oil straight out of the factory. Haven't seen that with a Honda product yet. Personal experience and preference of rather having a Honda.
Where is your tv made? where is your cell phone name? where is your computer made? This union bullshit is stupid. Im all for US made products, but don't say "buy a union bike or union car" when you will go out buy a phone, computer, tv and not think twice about it. And btw I come from a union family so I know all to well about unions...stop being stupid...until you get ride of all your "non-union" made iteams, I'll get rid of my Honda...o yeah mine's a V-Twin too, but makes 150HP RC51 baby!
Enjoy your ricegrinder. Whenever possible, I buy US UNION made products. If we don't support them, they'll leave and then how will you feed your kids? Wait - you can feed them your import.

People like him are a big reason for the Harley hatred. It's not the bikes, it's the cock suckers who ride them & think they're something special 'cause they "got a Harley".
They are commenting abou the whine and the lack of a gear indicator> Golly, others dont have the 3-position seat or the ambient air indicator so these guys seem to be a little nit picky about the ST.
this bike looks like that concours 14.If you add those other head lights to it,You wouldn't be able to tell the differenc unless you look at the name on the bike.
The look doesn't bother me. The bike functions very well, the wind protection is top of it's class and there is more long-haul comfort. The Kawi and Yamaha are more sport styled but you'll feel more buffeting without an after market shield.

With the 105th coming this summer, I guess it's hard to envision thousands of proud Harley owners riding throughout the city.
