ST1100 - fun, cheap, reliable touring bike

**CRM** · 8th October 2014, 10:31

Sadly selling my ST1100 as I'm giving up touring. Just completed my last trip - Whangarei to Gore return. Superb bike - sensibly ridden and properly maintained. These are made for doing high mileage and this one shows no signs of getting tired. When I had it serviced prior to the trip the mechanics couldn't believe how well it runs.

Comes with service history since 85,000km. New Metzeler Z6's were fitted at 160,000km, so these are likely to to another 8-10,000km (average life of set of tyres on this is 22-23,000km!). Had "new" forks fitted prior to Sth Island trip as chrome was worn through on one of the fork legs - was still warrantable but decided to change anyway. The old forks come as spares as do some other bits and pieces including a spare "summer" screen. Also comes with Haynes manual and printed owner manual and parts manual.

Overall condition is very good - some scratches on the pannier handles, but in general paint is tidy and not faded. No evidence of any crashes or scrapes. The top-box is off another bike and is a bit rough so I may hang on to that, but the givi mount goes with it. A fitted Oxford cover comes with it.

Rego and WOF both to November. Thought I would offer it on here first before going the TM route.

May be keen on a swap for an adventure bike

- 250-650cc range single cylinder - equal or lesser value.

Someone needs to buy this and strip it to make a cafe racer with four straight pipes - like they do with old Gold Wings.

Probably not helpful to you selling your P & J though....

It's in too nice a condition to do that - be fun with a binned one though.

This would be perfect for someone wanting to do an extended 2-up tour of NZ over the spring/summer. I'd happily trust it to jump on and ride to Invercargill again - absolutely no issues with it.

what logic! The market for cool number plates seems to have dried up. I blame the National Government.

I am at sea at the moment,i am an Marine biologist ( i work on tasman sea off the coast of australia ) and due to the nature of my work, phone calls is restricted. my son checked your advert and sent you a text to contact me (his mother ) via my email address .

I would think twice about that enquiry

Don't want to sound rude but $4k for a 15 year old bike with 173,000 kms? Is that a good price?

Market on TM is all fucked up from what I can see. Always surprised how high or low some rides go for.

Agree with the strip down version - see a couple of goodies.
