It is interesting to read that the ST1300 is considered expensive in the USA. I don't know what the price difference is between the F6B and the ST1300 where you are.
In the UK we get the Standard F6B with abs at £19199 on the road, all taxes paid. ($29750) The ST1300 is £14299. ($22160). A difference of £4900. ($7590). What is the difference in list price between the F6B and ST1300 where you are?
We do not know if the CTX1300 is coming to the UK. However Honda have just announced an upgrade for the CB1300S, called the Bol D'or, complete with LED lighting.
We are also hopefully getting the CB400 super 4 in standard and Bol D'or versions. Previously not available in the UK. No prices available yet!
I wonder if these models will feature in your 2014 model line up.
