My name is Joe, I have been ridding a 1991 Honda ST1100 for four years and 76K miles, love this bike. The old girl has 108K on the odometer, still looks and runs like new. Not to say that some repairs have not been made. After another rear tire, she will be ready of a 4K mile rally (TexSTOC) in September. Every now and again I start to thinking about another bike, Gold Wing or Super Black Bird are the only ones that seem to interest me. This April, I rented a Gold Wing for two days, rode about 650 miles, nice bike, really liked the package. I was almost ready to buy a new airbagger, then Honda announced production going to Japan. Nothing wrong with Japan manufacture, however with production at a new plant this probably means a complete re-do of the Wing. Will the GL1800 become an orphan? Think I will wait. Currently, I am thinking Super Black Bird, still in production but was last imported to the USA as a 2003 model. Just researching for now. I do my own wrenching, seldom touch peg acorns and rear tire generally wears out in the center. Bikes 1991 Honda ST1100 - current 2001 Harley ElectraGlide 1550cc and warmed up - sold 1989 Honda Shadow VT1100 - sold 1992 Kawasaki VT750 - sold 1953 BSA C11 - sold 1951 ServiCycle - sold 1950 Whizzer - junked Later, Joe | ||

Welcome from the windy city. Sounds like you've had your share of different bikes. I had a goldwing. I wouldn't own one again. If all you are planning on doing is interstate riding then OK. When I had one I didn't get the feeling that I was on a motorcyle. Might as well have been in a convertable.

G'day from Oz. If you are trying to get a later than 03 in the states, you might find it a bit hard. Through this forum, I have only heard of one 05 model in the USA (and that is if it was true or not.). To import one would end up being an expensive exercise. There are still 03's for sale with low mileage out there, you just gotta look.

Welcome. I just returned from a 940 mile ride across New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and home to Nevada. The bird was perfect. Good hunting.
