Positioned in Honda's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Honda ST1300 Pan-European features a 1261 cc (77 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 126 HP (92 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 125 Nm (92.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 99.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the ST1300 Pan-European measures 329 kg (725 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.61 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 778 mm (30.6 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-liter (7.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 432 km (268 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 225 km/h (140 mph).
