I purchased a new ST1300 in March this year and within days of owning the bike it began to surge and miss at about 100 Kph, the selling dealer can not fix it, contacted Honda MPE, bike in perth for a week and not fixed, Honda MPE have decided that the bike is ok the way that it is as well as the incresingly noisy gearbox, the bike has only done 1500 Kms now, They write that they can be of no further help.
Save your time and hard earnt money and GIVE HONDA PRODUCTS A MISS THE WARRANTY IS NOT WORTH SQUAT.
