TBC.... Just a correction, Honda made the ST's until 2012 ( but they are the same as the 06's lol... Same color even), but I know what you are saying. My 06 ST is in triple digits now. Never had a bike with this many miles on it, so do I trust it setting out on a 2, 3 or 5,000 mile trip? Even though I have it maintained regularly, mechanical and electrical pieces have finite lives. Will one of those 12 year old pieces with 105,000 miles let go or stop working and leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere? It was an easy decision to take off when it had 40, 50, or 60,000 miles. Now at over 100 I'm feeling a bit apprehensive. Honda has nothing in the wings I know of to replace it and being retired on SS I'm not prepared to spend close to $30K dollars on another motorcycle at this point.
