HONDA ST1300 Pan European (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda ST1300 was a sport touring machine manufactured from 2002 to 2013 and a successor to the ST1100 model from 1990 to 2002. The ST1300 was succeeded by the CTX1300 in 2013, a cruiser machine that packed the same engine, modified for better fuel efficiency and more torque at low rpm.

In 2005, the motorcycle maker released the Honda ST1300 Pan European. As its name says, the bike was designed for the European market and followed the same recipe as its predecessors.

Compared to its ST1100 predecessor, the ST1300 was a touring machine with many modifications, such as a new aluminum frame, a cassette-type five-speed manual transmission, and a two-element fuel tank.

Also, the ST1300 model was a popular choice among police departments and law enforcement agencies worldwide. Honda released a specifically designed ST1300 version in 2005, packed with additional accessories for police work.

The suspension was handled by a 45 mm air-assisted telescopic fork on the front and a spring and rebound adjustable shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

Also, the stopping power was achieved by two 310 mm floating discs with three-piston calipers mounted on the front end. A 316 mm disc with a three-piston caliper handled the rear-end braking performance.

As for power, the 2005 Honda ST1300 Pan European had the same 1,261cc four-cylinder engine as its predecessors and provided a force equivalent to 118 hp with a peak at 8,000 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
