Following the launch of the Gold Wing, which was very successful in the US, Honda's marketing team perceived that the European market (hence the ‘Pan European’ moniker) would appreciate a lighter, sportier, and more manoeuvrable motorcycle. Introduced in 1990, the ST1100 was given a water-cooled 90-degree V4 engine mounted inline, instead of a flat-four engine (as in the Gold Wing). The ST1100 gained most of the Gold Wing's other characteristic engineering elements, such as shaft drive, a full fairing and integral panniers. Introduced to the European market a year before it was available in the United States, the ST1100 was supplied within a sportier package with the features required by touring riders, thereby filling a niche between the Honda VFR750F sports tourer and the larger Gold Wing.
This bike has come from a well-known Vendor of ours and has been off the road for some time. It will require a new battery and recommissioning but is a complete bike and is a nice low mileage example for its age. These bikes are known to be capable of covering high mileages without many mechanical issues and this one would appear to have plenty to offer a new owner. The bike comes with 2 sets of keys, V5, original owner’s handbook and plenty of previous MOTs.
