At the heart of the 2004 Honda ST 1300 ABS sport touring motorcycle, Honda features a 1261 cc (77 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 118 HP (86.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 93.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the ST 1300 ABS measures 323 kg (712 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.37 HP/kg (2.74 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,491 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 29.14-liter (7.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.05 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 577 km (359 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 225 km/h (140 mph).
