"Eclipse"
This was my 4th pride, my '92 Honda ST1100 Pan European ABS/TCS. I named it "Eclipse", since I bought it a few days before the '99 Eclipse and picked it up a few days later. The describtion of an eclipse perfectly describes the experience of riding a ST; A once in a lifetime experience, it always lasts too short, it's breathtaking, it looks awesome and like good sex, all you can say afterwards is "aahh..".

This ST is equiped with tall MDI screen (+12.5cm), wind deflectors the mirrors and legfairing, a pair of BSM "future" exhausts , a Red Alert motorcycle alarm which includes running lights front and back and hazard lights, a Vista Cruise throttle lock and Hein Gericke heated grips, a throttlerocker and a 50 liter Givi Maxia case. It's color is a chique "aubergine", with black wheels. The black wheels give away the fact that it's a UK import, also meaning it has a speed indicator in statute miles. It has ABS/TCS (Antilock Braking and Traction Control System) to prevent both wheels from locking up when braking and to prevent the rear wheel from spinning.

The ST's powerplant is a 100hp, 111Nm, 16-Valve, liquid cooled, shaft drive equiped, 90 degree DOHC V-4 engine, producing a lot of smooth power. It's designed for high speed cruising (3800 RPM @ 120km/h / 75mph in 5th) and because of it's low CG (wopping 28 liter / 7.4 US Gallon fuel tank under buddy seat) it's also a great bike for climbing the Alps.
