2012 HONDA ST1300 ABS, The Best of Both Worlds. Sport-touring bikes have to do double-duty, and do both well. The Honda ST1300 is proof that if you start out with the world s ultimate touring bike and the world s best sportbikes, you can create something magical. One part long-distance hauler, one part canyon-carving ace, ST1300 combines Gold Wing-inspired luxury with CBR-derived performance. Its wind-tunnel-honed bodywork and hard saddlebags perfectly complement a powerful V-4 engine, shaft drive, a race-bred chassis, and ABS. The result? A bike that s equally at home swallowing up miles of blacktop as it is dicing through the twistiest of alpine passes. And all without ever breaking a sweat. Honda Power Nobody understands V-4 engines like Honda. And the fuel-injected 1261cc engine found on the ST1300 is the stuff of legend, delivering power and performance honed from decades of innovative design.
