Honda ST 1300 Pan European
Features
Engine/Drivetrain
Auto-enriching system is integrated into PGM-FI module, optimizing the
air/fuel mixture on cold starts and eliminating the need for a manual choke.
Honda's ST 1100 Pan European was first launched in 1989, and continued largely unchanged until 2002, when this 126 lcc updated model was launched. The original Pan was a huge success in the heavy tourer market, its 1 100cc V-4 engine and accomplished chassis winning acclaim from riders worldwide. But by 2002, it was starting to look dated in comparison with competition from bikes like Yamaha's FJR1300 and BMW's Rl 150RT. So Honda embarked on a ground-up revamp of the Pan.
The new bike, dubbed the STX1300 Pan European, retains the same transverse V-4 layout of the older bike, but has an all-new chassis and engine. An aluminium frame saves weight and adds stiffness compared with the older steel frame, and the large-capacity engine is packed with modern technology to produce even more torque and power. Ceramic coated aluminium bores cut weight and friction inside the engine, while lasting longer than the old steel liners. New lightweight pistons further reduce friction, and the old bike's camshaft belt drive is replaced by a smaller, maintenance-free chain. This new cam drive, together with a repositioned alternator, makes the engine shorter and more compact. New dual balancer shafts cut vibration from the already smooth motor, while a PGM-F1 fuel-injection system replaces the ST1100 carbs. A new lightweight aluminium swingarm further refines the rear monoshock suspension while the front end is fitted with stiff 45mm (1.8in) forks. Honda's Dual-CBS linked brake system is fitted to the new model, and optional anti-lock brakes are also available. Redesigned bodywork updates the Pan's looks while remaining true to the original bike's styling. Honda offers a wide variety of optional accessories for the STX1300: owners can choose from a list that includes a large-capacity topbox, CD/radio sound system and heated grips.
