Looks like BMW K1200 RT ...

I'll let jhw answer on the 1100 .. The ST1300 is pretty good as long as you keep a tight reighn on the right hand, which is really hard to do some time .. I avg about 42mpg intown and have gotten as much as 54mpg on a 55mph freeway with the cruise on ... At 70mph freeway w/cruise it is consistent 48mpg ... Course when the right hand gets away from ya, it drops to 38mpg.

They are aftermarket ... I have the MCCruise on my 1300, lots of folks put the Audiovox Cruise on the 1100 ... Both work well ..

Have a couple of friends here with ST 1100 and I have a ST 1300 .. They are bullet proof just like the ole 1g Ventures .. Both the ST have over 100K and I have about 35K on my ST1300 .. NO PROBLEMS at all .. They are great sport tourers, a lot like the 1g bikes just a lot lighter and more guts .. If it is a late model that your friend has then it is a good deal .. Little clean up and she should be good to go ..

That is the proto 2010 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ... Pretty bike, but very thin on warranty (12 months) and goodies ... You can see it now on the Kawasaki site ... does have cruise, AM/FM/Intercom and a huge price for either XM or CB option to fit on the radio .. The Standard Vulcan AM/FM is about $750 if I remember right ..

All ya need to know about CB antenna replacement and was afraid to ask ... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17675 If you have any questions, email me .. Be more than happy to help all I can ..

Firestik makes a excellent splitter replacement and can recommend it completely .. As far a AM/FM goes, the FL3 Firefly is what I ran on my RSV for 8 years .. No problem encountered ... I am now running a 2' Firestik II on my ST1300 for AM/FM and CB (J&M 2003) and it works perfectly ... This was a modified MarshallMod using basically same design as the MarshallMod but used the shorter antenna ...

Check your post and email on the Venturers Site... Answered both there .. PS, make sure your mute button isn't activated on the passenger controller or the main handlebar controller .. More I think about this, the more I am leaning toward a stuck squelch pot. If you try to talk with someone close by, it should break the squelch .. Still, it could be the antenna, splitter or coax has given out due to age ..

No change in mileage, just sound .. Got a little better with the K&N and Iridium change but not sure which one caused it .. Prob the K&N's ...

Deb on her Vulcan, me on the RSV, did that a couple of years ago. But at each big intersection or cross roads, we would pull over and flip a coin .. Heads we went to the left, Tails to the Right .. GPS was not allowed until the end of the trail and we had to get home ... Started in Acworth GA on a Wednesday and on Saturday we were in Boone NC .. Saw so much, I could not even tell you what all we did see .. But we did a lot of roads from Acworth to Boone and saw more exciting stuff than I will ever be able to remember ... Came back on Sunday down the BRP to Asheville then on over to NC 64 and home again .. Was the most wonderful ride WE have ever had ...

What is the License Fee for GMRS these days ??? Know they used to have a 5 year license but not sure what the License Fee is ... ::: A few minutes later ::: Oh, they just raised the license fee to $80 for the 5 year ticket ... -
Done ... Charleston area roads are in total disarray due to it being the second largest container port in the world .. They say there are over 75,000 trucks a day on the road in and around Charleston ... The roads show it ...

+1 On the J&M2003 CB system .. Yes it is pricey, but IMHO the most reliable of all the radios out there with a lot of other options, AM/FM or XM or Sirus, or Ipod or any walkman or totally quiet if that is what she would prefer .. I have the J&M CB with XM on my wifes Vulcan .. She loves it .. -
This sounds like white noise that is sometimes generated through the mike if you do not have the sock over the mike or if there is a hole in the sock letting wind rush over the mike .. When you are not transmitting, you are hearing the wind over the mike through the intercom and when you are transmitting, the wind rushing over the mike is also transmitted .... Worth checking your mike sock ...

We have one that lives here in Charleston .. Have seen it several times, but have not had the opportunity to catch up with it yet . .... Hope to, it is a pretty cool looking speedster ...
