Hello to all ST1100 owners.

 

Always liked the bike since I saw the first version around 15 years ago.

 

Stopped biking for quite a few years and now getting back into it because wife keeps taking my car.

 

Will be buying an ST1100 somewhere in the near future.

 

Main decision is whether to buy a brand new bike (understand they now bring in the STX1300) or a second hand one.

 

Understand that some of the ST1100 on the road now has ABS while some doesn't.

 

Would prefer a bike with ABS.

 

Of course there is nothing like a new bike but from my enquiries, the STX goes for around 29k to 30k.

 

A 5 year old ST1100 goes for 11k.

 

Would like to seek advice on the common problems associated with the ST1100 especially when the bike is around 5 years old with about 90000 km in mileage.

 

Is the ST1100 an easy bike when it comes to maintenance.?Any major problems so far and if so are they costly to fix?

 

Presently riding around in a S4 just to get used to being on a bike again. Begining to get tired of it and now planning to upgrade.

 

Hope this is the correct forum to post my queries.

 

All feedback will be greatly appreciated.

= yes, it's a tought & very reliable to be ridden around since it's 1st model.

Stopped biking for quite a few years and now getting back into it because wife keeps taking my car.

= usual the case.

 

Main decision is whether to buy a brand new bike (understand they now bring in the STX1300) or a second hand one.

= only used available now.

 

Understand that some of the ST1100 on the road now has ABS while some doesn't.

= less than 10% of the population equiped with ABS or ABSII

 

A 5 year old ST1100 goes for 11k. Would like to seek advice on the common problems associated with the ST1100 especially when the bike is around 5 years old with about 90000 km in mileage.

= it all depends, if would be an added advantage to know the owners' usage history. it's reasonable mielage at 90Kkm, it would raised suspicious if it's too low right..?

 

Is the ST1100 an easy bike when it comes to maintenance.?Any major problems so far and if so are they costly to fix?

= it's general maintenance cost is no differe with other 4 cyclinder bike.

 

Hope this is the correct forum to post my queries.

= hope I did help, what say others..?

Hey bro...

 

Based on your Installment calculation....

u will be suffering a great loss if u do so...

i presume u took a high loan for your CBR...

 

Nowadays , ST1100 price drop quite badly ... compare to my

time when i bought my ST...4 years back

 

Try to get a best quote for your CBR before u jump into another bike.

 

ABS model is quite hard to come by la bro... i feel that no much different

Its the rider not just the bike...

Another hint... Why so little ABS model in sg huh???

 

Survey properly first before committing ... next is all money issue

Bro...

U are comparing 2 very different bike lor...

1997 FP plate ST1100 is almost at that price lor...

 

4k for your Ver S ?? Not sure... compare a few more shop lor

 

If u are looking into comfort and occasional touring ...

ST1100 is the bike...

 

Overheating problem ???

i dont have this problem ... have not heard from any of the 100 members yet

 

take your time to find out more of the beaST ya...

HONG,

 

salesmen said....that... if it's that true, guess we might have plm riding highways & conjested town roads.

 

compare what u would expect from these 2 machine before commiting, if u want storage, easy maintenance, riding comfort, good mileage & longer range... not many other machines come close to ST1100 fyi, she's a durable road bike & well known world-wide for it's reliablity.

 

rear width of ST1100 is narrower than VFR800(with original side saddle boxes) that makes weaving in traffic less hazardous.

 

u r not the 1st one being offered $4k for trade-in of ur 97' S4, recently one of our senior member upgarded his 2nd ST1100 with same trade-in price dealed.

HONG,

 

actually we try not to discuss the value inside this thread, we have to be fair to dealers & sellers.

[Guest limpeiwah]

4k for version s take already loh

[kish_garfield]

mr hong thing is if u from super four then to ST then no problem. if u like me from ST to 1000 sports then to ST then more diff. frankly only 3 types of bike i like for ST criteria. ST cause its chaper and bullet proof engine. FJR only good thing is price but ultimate is ST13. thats all another story.

 

Why it is good for u cause first it is honda so the prediction of performance is there and the power bend of the S4 and ST very similar.

[HONG]

oic.. okok... sorry about that...

[HONG]

btw... wats the average fuel consumption for ST11?? 1 litre of fuel can go how far?? if i am not wrong ST11's fuel capacity is 28 litres?

[amen23]

yup it 28 litres thanks include 5 litres reserve.

Fuel consumption depends on individual riding style, average F.C is 17~18 km/litre.

Those will newer machine (1st hand) and without fast pick up, they can hit abt 20km/l.

If u are free do drop by at Tanjung Katong LC Foodcourts any wed after 8pm and have a cup of coffee with us. Think most of the guru/member are willing to answer ur question.

[kish_garfield]

one thing is be prepared to realise that carb bikes fluctuation for km per lit varies larger than fuel injected so ST can get even 16km per lit.
