The Pan European launched in 1989, evolving (beautifully!) through to 2004 is probably the finest long distance touring machine made by any manufacturer.
The scarcity of these on the second hand market of low mileage machines is testimony to that, not that high mileage is an issue, as the engine and build quality is quite simply better than any other motorcycle!
The Honda ST1100 Pan European's 1084cc 100bhp DOHC V4 motor is so smooth and its delivery so linear that it redefines the internal combustion engine. Reliability and durability is second-to-none. The five-speed gearbox never finds anything but drive and in top 90mph is met with just 4500rpm on the clock.
The Honda ST1100 Pan European's chassis is so beautifully balanced that despite the Pan’s colossal 297kg dry weight it feels poised and light, even at walking pace. Some riders complain that the tyres feel remote from the road, but it’s just a question of putting your faith in the capable Pan European.
The Worlds greatest touring Motorcycle? Well if were not for the ST1300 replacement With out a shadow of a doubt!
