Honda ST1100

[amen23]

Yo guys,

 

Maintenance cost for ST11. Touring comfort, fuel mileage.

Full servicing will be 4 E.O, 1 oil filter for every 10k, if u want/ have budget u can do 5k change E.O and 10K full service. Air filter and spark plug will be case by case .

Touring comfort = which bike have the comfort like ST beside Goldwing, STX may be FJR

Fuel Consumption for mine will be 17~19km/l (average speed 100km/h on highway and lots of slow moving during peak hour to work)normal riding in Singapore. 15+km/l for NSHW at 160km/h and 17+km/l for 140km/h and 18~20km/l for 100~120km/h. Take note riding habits also a main issue for fuel consumption.

 

Diff from ST11 and Pan Eruo think will be the alternator. ST11 only have 28amp and Pan Eruo have 40amp.

Riding Preference : Comfy, lots of storage space, 160km/h - 200km/h touring speed, good fuel consumption, low maintenance.Comfy ?? = ST (personally few that extract from your list)

Storage space?? = ST (original side pannier/box...can add top box and still look good) anyway... all also can add box...sides, back, front anywhere u want)

160km/h-200km/hr??? = all of your choice

consumption ??? = ST on NSHW at 160-200km/hr about 17km per litre

low maintain??? = Depend on how u put it

 

Bikes I'm looking at now : CBR1100XX, CBR 600F4i, K2-K4 600, R6, R1, ST1100.

All are good bike... i personnal like the sitting posture of ST

 

Advice needed:

Maintenance cost for ST11. Touring comfort, fuel mileage.

DIY and its much cheaper for maintainance

Touring comfort = very comfy

Fuel Consumption is >24km per litre if maintain 120-140km/hr

 

What is the difference between the normal ST11 and the pan european? I like to get a FT plate ST.. how much am I looking at for current market rate.

Not much different except for some parts + newer and older lor

Now market rate huh.... not sure leh 12k - 15k i think

 

Thank you so much. Hopefully I can join you guys soon:)

Do join us sooner

Maybe I will hang around when you guys are meeting up for kopi session or what, at least I can learn more in a more up front manner. Don't really want to jump into the choice yet. Just want to find out more first because I always have this habit of buying a bike straight after I passed that class..

erm guys.how 2 take out the side box har?i today wash bike.1 2 take out the side box but i try 4 15mins but still dnt knw how 2 take out.

[yusp1]

sorry off topic..where to get e back rest for my st..appreciate any kind soul who would b able to help..

[amen23]

yo immanuel,

 

U have to unlock it (near pillon foot rest) first then pull towards the rear by using the handle then pull up a bit and push the bottom of the box toward the tyres. that's all......

 

Yo yusp1,

 

There no more new backstep in the market now or the near future but it still can be find in Australia, but you still can find it in s'pore but mostly 2nd hand. Alternative u can try your luck at Ah boy or Seng kwang. I will try to look out a second hand for u. And wat is your budget like

I'm still looking around... Black bird is part of the plan, however I think for the riding posture, ST11 should be better right? Hayabusa still the ultimate if not for its lack of storage...

[Guest william_tcw]

Posture wise, i guess STX would be even better with the 3 position seat, yet to try though but sport bike / sport tourer like BB, VFR or supersport Busa handles totally different from tourer, so it depends on individual..

apart from lack of storage, maintaining the chain is also a hassle during long distance touring.

I fully agreed... beside shaft driven bike... almost all chain bikes suffer from this issue right?

Most of Honda bikes have a soft front so what most owners do is change the fork oil to a higher vicosity which will help. As u have just got your bike it best to do a service on it including changing the fork seal so that u have a better handling and worry free....
