Features

ST1100 sport tourer, left, versus heavier tourer GL1800, right.

The ST1100 was optimized for long-distance touring with the following features:

• Low maintenance shaft drive
• A unique longitudinal V-4 engine layout
• Optional antilock brakes (ABS) and traction control system (TCS). 1996 and later Models equipped with ABS also have front-rear linked brakes (LBS). ABS model years from 1992 through 1995 have traditional separate front and rear braking systems.
• 28 l (7.4 US gallon) fuel tank, one of the largest ever supplied for a motorcycle, giving it a range of about 300 highway miles (480 km)
• 40 amp, air-cooled alternator to power multiple accessories such as auxiliary lighting and electrically heated clothing (Early models had a problematic 28 amp alternator which can be upgraded to the 40 amp version)
