well after many restless nights pondering how my new concours 14 would look near my zg1000 i finaly rode one back at the end of august .. just not the bike for me did not feel comfy so i looked elsewhere then a 2003 st1300 cought my eye hmmm was this the bike for me ..... hell yeah !!!! so i flew to virginia labor day weekend paid the man for her and rode her home ..seat was a little stiff but man could she handle. heat was also an issue more in traffic then on freeways .. i left va at 2pm friday got home to methuen at 11 am sat man my ass was sore ..now for the last week iv'e been chasing antifreeze leaks what a pain in the ass i found most of my clamps loose must have been built on friday ..finished wed night so far so good .so if you have an st1300 that leaks let me know im a pro at it now so far im happy with her ...
