I have an ST 1300 and IMO it's a horrible commuter unless your commute is all freeway and about 50 miles each way.I hate getting mine out of the garage unless I plan on going over 100 miles one way. It weighs 717 pounds for petes sake. Thats the main reason I bought the CB 1100. If my wife couldn't ride anymore and tour with me, I'd consider a number of other bikes for solo touring/riding. I had a gen 1 Yamaha FZ-1 and it made a great solo tourer. I might even look for another low mileage example of one of those...or the yamaha FZ8 or new FZ9..or maybe a Kawasaki versys, or one of the new Honda CTX's even. Dunno, have to take some test rides.
