| ST3 Sales Volume
It's surprising how badly ST3 sales are going. The pre launch hype from Ducati seemed to have gone well and the bike was pretty well received in most quarters except the all important review from Bike Magazine where it was really slated. They only give the Bike a 2 star rating, which seems very unfair.
The reviewer described the bike as old fashioned with an air cooled engine!
From my experience of riding the bike, I find it an excellent sports tourer, comfortable with good handling capability, a very free revving engine and even steady mirrors which allow one to see what's going on behind.
It must be said, however, that Ducati did themselve's no favours with the low down fuelling set up on the early bikes.Once modified with the new ECU and valve springs the low speed running is transformed and is almost perfect.
Finally I would advise anybody who wants a sports tourer that the ST3 is as good as it gets. The latest models even have a wet clutch for those amongst us who crave such things.  |
