Unexpected Custom – Honda ST1100

In Custom, Japan, Less than 5k by AbhiLeave a Comment

I never really thought I’d write the words “custom” and “ST1100” together in the same sentence, but here’s one that’s surprisingly been turned into a…well, I don’t really know. A cafe racer, I guess?

The seller him/herself calls the ST1100 a “desirable touring bike”, but that description obviously no longer applies. The ST11 (also known as the Pan-European) had quite a long production run – Honda sold it between 1990 and 2002. During that time it won over a fair amount of fans as a reliable platform to sport-tour with. The V-4 motor produced 100 horsepower, and it was paired with shaft drive for easy maintenance. Traction control and ABS were optional extras, plus it had huge range thanks to a 7.4 gallon tank.

Again, not much of that is relevant to this build. What do you think of the final result? Would you ride this?

Find this ST for sale here on Craigslist for $3,200 in Tampa Bay, Florida.
