I tended to prefer sportier bikes when I was young, and never got around to owning a touring bike. But I always had a hankering for a Honda ST1100 Pan European, they seemed to me to be the ideal formulation. Never actually got around to riding one, though.


I had one of those. Totally reliable motorway and A road mile muncher, but a big lump of a thing that was a pain on a B or C road. Under the plastics, which werent well made, it rusted like a Datsun. That said, I bet its still running somewhere now. And it was my wife's favourite bike.
