REVIEW:

Widely considered to be the premier sports touring machine of the European continent, the swift and luxurious Pan-European commands respect like it commands the road. Delivering a supreme combination of exhilarating performance, smoothly responsive control, and luxurious riding comfort, the Pan-European takes mountains and great distances in stride.The ST1300 is designed for the Urban World with its narrow city streets and crowded main roads. Therefore it is surprisingly compact and plainly finished with a minimum of chrome - it even has a centre-stand. The engine room is occupied by a 1261cc longitudinal V-four with two overhead camshafts per bank and four valves per cylinder, which has more in common with Honda's car engines than its other bikes.
