This nameplate belongs to Honda’s ST1100 sport-touring motorcycle line and identifies the California-market ABS-equipped version. It first appeared for the 1992 model year, when Honda expanded the ST1100 family with an ABS-TCS variant sold in California, alongside the standard ST1100 and other regional derivatives. The model stayed part of the ST1100 range through the 1990s as Honda refined the platform and, in later years, continued listing the California ABS version in U.S. model-year filings. For 2003, Honda’s U.S. filings list the ST1100P police model but no ST1100AL, indicating that this ABS California nameplate ended with the 2002 model year. Enthusiasts generally view it as part of the long-running ST1100 family that helped define Honda’s comfortable, dependable sport-touring approach before the line was eventually replaced by newer ST-series models.
