2009 Honda ST1300 luxury tourer

The ST1300 is all about touring in style, and for 2009 gains a new silver colour scheme. The accomplished ST is powered by an impressive V4 engine that is very capable, delivering sporty blasts of acceleration as well as the power to carry a full load for long distances. Its elegant, aerodynamic bodywork is sculpted to cut through the breeze, as well as offering protection from the elements.

The unique adjustable seat is designed for all day comfort. Low, centralised mass makes the machine reassuringly stable; yet it's also nimble enough to negotiate city traffic and have some fun on twisty roads. For supreme control and responsive braking, the ST1300 has Combined ABS on the Australian release model. Wide ranging optional touring equipment, excellent fuel efficiency and a 29-litre tank make it a joy to take off for a weekend or for weeks at a time.

RRP for the 2009 ST1300 - available in candy glory red and digital silver metallic - is $24,690 + ORCs.
