To continue off-topic: the st1300 appealed to me cus I really like my V65 Sabre, despite the fact that it is even heavier, and handles poorly on anything put straight roads, or wide sweeping curves. One gets used to all that power, so the st1100 seemed really anemic - kinda like the GS. On long trips, I love to find some old logging road to follow for a bit and just camp for the night away from road noise and lights. The Sabre wasn't that hard to pick up if it fell over, nothing to scratch up, so it doesn't matter. But, at over 20 years old and 100,000 miles, it's just not up to it any more.
