Introduced for 1990 as the ST1100, the Pan European (as it was marketed on this side of the Atlantic) was Honda's attempt to build a top-of-the-range touring motorcycle better suited to European requirements than the bulky Gold Wing. Indeed, the ST1100 was a joint venture designed by Honda Germany in collaboration with the factory in Japan. Honda already had plenty of experience of building V4 engines but the Pan European's was the first to be mounted transversely, an arrangement that facilitated the provision of shaft final drive, a feature deemed essential to compete with market leaders BMW. The motorcycle offered here is an example of the larger-engined ST1300 version, newly introduced for 2002, and comes equipped with the optional factory top box. Supplied with service history, the machine displays a total of 54,194 miles on the odometer and is presented in above average condition, running well. Offered with MoT to April 2014 and Swansea V5C, it nevertheless will require servicing and the usual safety checks following a period of inactivity.
