ST 1100

Note, showroom bikes without gas and oil, often battery, and low preload susp.

Good choice, 50 MPG, 7.2 gallon capacity is great for commuting or long distance touring.  Great handling, reliability, and comfort.   Easy bike to like, but cult like support?

Have some more Coolaide.  

I thought the ST1100 was just a tad smaller at 7.4 gallons and the Concours was 7.5  The new ST1300 gets about the same mileage as the ST1100 but with a little more fuel at 7.7 gallons it might have a few more miles to empty.

Worst feature, heat at noon in August, stop and go,.

Correct about the tank size. My 2002 connie had 7.5 but the average fuel mileage was in the mid to lower 40s

Sold my '91 in 2000 with 75K on it, still ran like new, never needed a valve adjustment. I would still own it if I hadn't had a big ass party to pay for that I woke up married as a result of... no complaints though as she replaced it 4 years later as promised   ST11 was a great bike... had mirrors that were usable, very stable at stupid speeds, better Pan design than the ST13, and other than the BAS recall and a crazy old Mennonite backing into the right side while grinding the left side into a brick wall  , I had no other service needs beyond regular scheduled stuff.

Bottom line... he did GOOD!
