CB1100 or ST1300?

[redbirds_imp]

Had an ST1300 for a couple years and really did not care much for it. Not a bad bike mind you but it has some issues. First and worst is heat. On a summer day the heat coming off the motor will cook your legs. The stock seat was not comfortable until I had it professionally modified, something that should not have to be done to a dedicated touring bike. It's heavy and the weight is centered high making the bike difficult to maneuver in the garage. It's also a bit long in the tooth compared to it's competition.

It does have some fine attributes foremost being weather protection. An excellent, electrically adjustable windscreen. Good brakes and fine handling that belies it's size. High quality luggage and great fuel capacity.

I'd get the CB1100.
