Nice bike chris it looks like you could ride it all day long and not feel tired. That full screen will make a whole lotta difference too. Thanks for sharing your ride with us, it's a big step up from the mobility scooter : )
Ive got the same bike but a 1994 st1100 i love it my last bike was a k3 1000 GSXR and I love this bike more the last was a rocket and after 30 miles I felt I'd been in a crash this bike I ride all day and feel great.
best bike yet have a 1999 same color only 69,000 on it yet . you would want go 30/40 mile min to enjoy a spin eats the miles. feels super safe in heavy rain also.
Replacement of the timing belt is very easy,and cheap.Don't buy the Honda item.Type in the part number and buy it from a factor.I got one from a truck factor for 22 quid inc delivery.100 quid from Honda.Both made by Gates
that's a steal! I have the same colour pan, only extra was a topbox... paid thrice as much and it had almost the same miles on it than yours... but new tyres, timing belt, etc. still, lucky you!
I’ve owned many, from Electra glides to budget cruisers. Now I have a 1993 ST1100 like this. One of the best all around cruisers for one. Harder to handle with a passenger, unlike the big Harleys but I’m usually always alone. Great great bikes
I thought that was magic carpet passing in background in the opening seconds! Had to rewind for another look! Proper bargain that bike too eh, sounds well! Cheers
Yes. The "pan weave". Apparently a lot of that was due to excessive equipment being added. Oddly enough, reported in the 13s but rarely on the 11s. I had something similar happen on a TDR250 once. Got to about 90mph and it spontaneously started gently, rhythmically weaving so I gently backed off. To be fair it wasn't the right kind of bike for that speed, anyway, so I just avoided going that fast and it was fine.
Someone I worked with years back had a Pan European. I'm 5ft 3 and at the time weighed about 9st (not anymore unfortunately lol) and I managed to sit on it and hold it up!
@@Ridingreviews There's no way I could lift one of those up lol. I dropped my GSXR400R once and the trouble I had picking it up was unbelievable! That's the only bike I've dropped fortunately. I haven't ridden for years but want to get back on one day.
@@sugarpuff2978 Use the backward technique to pick it up. Straighten the steering and pull out the side stand if possible then, with your back to the fallen bike, press your bum against the seat, hang on to a handle bar and the buddy grip, then walk it up with your legs. Don't overdo the last bit though...
@@Ridingreviews thanks my friend, its the gate to my garden set in a lot of concrete it would be a tight fit, I know the st1,300 won't fit I hope the st 1,100 will
hello i am a bit taller than you are at 5 ft 9 i think it would be a bit of a struggle I struggle with it myself not when moving but at a standstill I'm pretty sure if you drop it you wont pick it up again on your own
I'm not understanding the room to stop you mention. How much room do you need to come to a stop? You only put your foot down when the bike comes to a stop. Not 2 meters before?! What's the issue here?
nice bike, i am looking at one myself, should i be concerned over the clutch, cam belt, fork seals, it's done 45,000 on a P redg, and how long would it take for a shop to replace the clutch. thank you.
@@Ridingreviews have i read you right, don't go for the 1300, go for the 1100, its they 1100 i am looking at, how much would you say, he's looking for, £1,700 to £2,300 with mot, lots of extras, thanks for the reply, your advice is appreciated.
@@Ridingreviews I have an extension and wouldn't ride a Pan European without it. I'm 5'10" and the buffeting is horrid without the screen. First accessory I bought for the bike.
@@Ridingreviews I have this one: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/mra-x-creen-tour-variable-windscreen-spoiler-blade I find the wider ones protect you slightly better from cross-wind buffeting but this is nice and not too obnoxious.
@@Ridingreviews I don't know much about bikes, or have anyone close to me that knows anything but could you maybe so a video on what to look out for as a first time buyer to make sure the bike is in working order?
I'm thinking about buying one of these. What do you think of its mileage? I heard someone say it uses a lot of fuel but on fuelly most of them get something like 40-45 mpg, that doesn't seem bad to me.
i brought mine at 80000 and as long as the cam chain is done they are fine remember it is a big engine so is happy doing 70 at 2000 rpm so they are good for a lot of miles
Would one of these be suitable for me as my first bike? I took lessons on a cb650f. Im worried it might be too heavy for me as im still learning. Would you recommend one? Theyre quite affordable where im from and i quite like the look of them and the comfort
when this bike is riding you carnt feel how heavy it is it is smooth and surprisingly agile I have had quite a lot of bigger bikes and it isn't any harder to ride than any of them that is why the police used to use them but that being said when you stop they are cumbersome and hard to manoeuvre and push so it is a toss-up on those 2 points but this is a decision you will have to make
@@Ridingreviewsguess ill have to test drive one. Im looking for a docile but powerful bike i can cruise on, but im not into harleys and all that at all. The police used to employ these in the netherlands as well, now they use fjr1300s, which i also quite fancy but it is out of the range im willing to spend on it right now. A st1100 is cheap and still nice looking and more then powerful enough for me. Strongly consider it.
That is some bike, looks so relaxing to ride. Just wafts along with tons of power if you want it and it’s so quiet.
I do like this max speed of 152 and 70 in 2nd gear I like it you just don't want to push it anywhere
I rode as a pillion on one of these as a one off and was it comfortable. Lovely bikes.
I dont like taking pilians

That's a whole lotta machine for £500. I hope she keeps you smiling.
indeed the mot is due soon if it passes wich it should then I will be lol
I remember back when the Police rode these almost exclusively. Great machines.
These and the 1300 but they had tendancy to twitch at the back at high speed

Great bike mate ive got a 2001 st1100 in red, the weight is a bit daunting at first but you soon get used to it on the move 👍
I was verry suprised how agile it was when it was moving even at slow speeds
the pan's weightless on the move, you only feel the weight when still - or trying to lug it backwards to park :D
I love street fighter sad naked roadsters... I would love to strip a big get bike to its bones, put on after gages and headlights and that’s it!
I was going to but ended up selling it
That cracked me up at the start of the video the guy on the recumbent bike.
I know but all to there own i guess
Them screens are bug magnets..... Poor bugs...lol 😂,... will stick with my Divvy.... 👍 (no change, video 📹 helps me...)

I loved my pan, it was just too heavy and thirsty for everyday commuting
Definatly too heavy what fo you you have now

The issue is when manovering the bike at a stop, i.e., going backwords to a parking space or shifting slightly forward
