2003 Honda ST 1300 ANTILOCKING BRAKESPrice: $5,200Mileage: 67,zero milesOverall Condition: Excellent2003 was the 1st year Honda sold ST 1300 motorcycles in the U.S. This year s 2012 ST 1300 s are almost identical. This motorcycle has been kept in the garage and maintained professionally by Fox Valley Honda (Aurora, IL). It is in perfect running condition with a few small marks on the body. If you are interested in a Honda ST 1300 and the price is right, this bike is definitely worth seeing.Although this motorcycle has 67,000 mis on it, ST 1300 s (and ST 1100 s) routinely travel 200,000mis. This motorcycle has had all maintenance work completed, a newer battery, and low mileage Michelin Pilot three dual compound tires. I have always pre-owned synthetic oil and just changed the oil. The drive shaft has always been lubed with synthetic as well.Not only does this motorcycle have ANTILOCKING BRAKES brakes, the front brakes are linked to the rear brakes (LBS) and vice versa. The cost of the ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ST 1300 is more than $1,000 more that the non-ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ST 1300. The wind shield is adjustable (electric switch) and very easy to move up if it rains or down if it is very hot. All ST 1300 s are fuel injected. I have always kept this motorcycle running throughout each winter and I have never had any issues or concerns involving fuel or any other mechanical issue.I purchased this ST from DesPlaines Honda and purchased a 7 (7) year warranty that covered everything. In 2008 a fork seal leaked fluid. Fox Valley Honda performed the warranty work and replaced the seals in both forks. No other repairs have ever been necessary. I purchased the Honda rear top box from David Silver (UK) and paid major bucks for it. It matches the exact color of my ST 1300 and holds 2 full-face helmets or a massive quantity of clothes. It removes easily from the bike to be carried inside.The “Throttle Meister” friction lock throttle control is a super high-quality throttle control that looks great with the chrome ends a

Yamaha Planning Sub-$500 Model to Undercut Honda Dream Yuga

Fri, 25 May 2012

Not long after Honda launched its ultra low-cost Dream Yuga in India, Yamaha announced it is considering a new own model that will be nearly 40% cheaper. The 109cc Dream Yuga is Honda‘s latest weapon in the battle for India’s 13-million unit per year motorcycle market. Priced at 44,642 Indian rupees (US$806), the Dream Yuga is the most affordable Honda model available in India.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!       

"Dangerous" assistant

Thu, 07 Apr 2016

Honda has patented its development in the field of interactive technologies that prevent accidents, following BMW. The Japanese proposed a warning system about the danger that lies in wait for the driver in the blind zone. Honda engineers have proposed equipping the motorcycle with cameras and radars that will detect dangerous proximity to another vehicle or pedestrian and warn the driver through light indication or tactile feedback.
