Question:

Why would a ST1300 Motorcycle back wheel seize? (not brakes or bearings) wont go in to neutral?

Was riding the motorcycle and the wheel just locked up. I came to a skidding stop. It won‘t roll, won‘t go in to neutral or shift easily. Am I looking at a transmission or final drive problem?

Answer:

NURSERY or garden centre will have larger bags if that is what you need.
something wrong in the drive shaft most likely. Have you kept up with the proper oil in that drive shaft? It only needs to be changed twice a year.
ST1300s are generally very reliable motorcycles. I would look at the final drive first. I'm guessing something has broken in the rear hub or you have a problem with the driveshaft.
I have had failure with the crown and pinion in the final drive and I have also had universal joints go on the drive shaft. Transmissions seldom fail but it is possible, I would start by removing the back wheel
