Both nice bikes.  Hard to choose on those two.  If at least one of those have efi, I would lean towards that one.  I like my Venture but the one thing I truly hate is pulling all that plastic and the carbs, cleaning them and putting it back together.  Connecting the crankcase ventilation tube can take 45 minutes to get back on when I am lucky.  Oh, and you always risk the chance of cracking the plastic each time you jack with it.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

THanks guys, i actually rode the beemer in 31 degree weather and was nothing.  Ill prob keep the beemer but will ride the ST1100 and choose.

YES i still ride the Dream in the summer about once a week or so.  Ill be showing it again at the Indiana Motorcycle Expo at the end of FEB in the Indy Vintage booths.   I just needed a more modern bike for daily commute.
