What kind of car is a Honda ST1300?

The first thing you notice when you punch the starter is the engine whine at idle. Some find it annoying (“It sounds like the Jetson’s car!”), while others, including me, find it charmingly mechanical. It’s a combination of high-pitched whine and whistle, unique I think to the bike. Perhaps it’s that V-four configuration.
