ST1100L

This exact ST1100L designation corresponds to the 1990 model-year launch of Honda’s ST1100 sport-tourer, sold in Europe as the Pan-European. It introduced Honda’s longitudinally mounted V4 touring platform as a long-distance motorcycle aimed at comfort, stability, and everyday practicality rather than outright sport performance. The ST1100 quickly became one of Honda’s signature large touring bikes, known for its refined touring character and its role as an early showcase for Honda’s chassis and braking development. Honda later continued the ST1100 line with subsequent year-code variants, but ST1100L itself is the original 1990 production designation.
