Where: China Grove, North Carolina
Why: Ready to cover many miles for many years
Price: Opening bid of $7000 with reserve
Here we have a late-model ST1300 showing only 2532 miles. The seller claims the condition is "pristine" and the photos back that up. Some desirable extras include Delkevic mufflers, bar risers, large aftermarket windscreen and driver & passenger backrests. This model also includes ABS and power windscreen. The tires are most likely original and due for replacement.
The auction has a $7000 opening bid, plus reserve, which will surely give bidders pause. That kind of money puts a buyer into the same territory as many of the ST's later model competitors; Yamaha FJ1300, Kawasaki Concours 1400 and BMW's RT and GT sport tourers. What you won't find in those other rides at this price are this bike's super low miles and the V4 experience. As a bonus, the bike is located near the southern Blue Ridge, making for a great fly-n-ride for the new owner.
