ST and FJR are "sporty" looking two-wheel land yachts I can imagine myself riding, there is no way in hell I can swing my leg over H-D or Goldwing... and they can move as well, I've been on rides with those

Agreed except that the Skyline/BRP is about 400 miles with a 40-45mph speed limit so maybe pick and choose a few choice sections. I think the lower end is the better (twistier) bit but it's been a while.

Lower end is twistier, higher parts have better views.

How many days is needed for a trip down there? Let’s say trailering down instead of riding?

I have done it a ton of times on a long weekend by riding. Get in 3-400km’s Friday evening, or do the whole 1300km’s on Saturday. Leaving Friday, allows for some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway on the way down. Ride around Sunday and enjoy the sights. Start heading back north once I get tired or the sun starts to set. Come back Monday.

A lot of hours, but I thoroughly enjoy it, but I also find droning along on the interstate for hours on end very relaxing.

Check out e-trailer.com or similar places. Free shipping within US to some place like CBI, then DIY install (check instructions first).

Instructions look fairly easy…but my record with clips isn’t all that great! LoL so worried about the bumper.

what did you like about them?

Great long distance bike for back 800 - 900+ km days. Smooth, vibration free V4 engine. Great tractor like pull at 5,000 RPM and above. Good protection from elements. Stellar reliability + longevity, many bikes in ST community with 250k - 300k km with original everything, just regular oil and filter changes + routine preventative maintenance. Decent handling, for a large touring bike, made better by aftermarket shock, springs and heavier fork oil. Honda build quality with good fairings, paint and fasteners that last 20+ years without corrosion or breakage.

Just a well designed bike that ran well and was a pleasure to own and ride.
