: ST1300 is WAY too heavy to be a reasonable sport tourer, it's a
: slightly downsized Goldwing.

Bill, what have you been smoking :)

The Goldwing weighs 800lbs dry, whereas the ST1300's dry weight is 650lbs, only 15 lbs more than my ST 1100.
Even my FJR 1300 and Concours 1000 weighed in at nearly 600 lbs dry. The Concours 14 weighs 610lbs dry.
In my real world experience owning several sport touring bikes, this minimal weight difference is inconsequential.

The Sprint ST is to me a different class of bike than the others. It's a SPORT tourer :) Tom
