Thanks for your comments Dunks. So you ride an ST2.I think the 2 looks very sporty. The other day I was riding the back road from Plumtree to Bradmore when I caught up with a guy on a red ST2 at the junction to the A60 Loughborough Road. His bike looked really smart. Would have liked to stop for a chat but a car was behind us at the junction.
I certainly agree with you about the guys in DSC. I am amazed at the helpfulness and the depth of knowledge and there is no doubt about it, riding a Ducati makes you feel good. Have owned lots of bikes but nothing has given me the fun I have had with the Multistrada and the ST3. If only Ducati could improve on the build Quality they could become world beaters on sales figures. For example the Multistrada from new had a leaking petrol tank, leaking oil feed pipe and a instrument display that had to be replaced. The front brake was very grabby and the mirrors were not secured properly to the stalks. Let me say though that all these faults were put right by Italia of Lincoln. Despite all this the Numpty was a lovely bike to ride. so precise on corners.
The ST3 seems OK so far but even so I had to get emergency work done because the top hose was leaking where it joins up to the thermostat. Hve I been a bit unfortunate with my experiences or is this typical? Would very much like to know.
Enjoy your ST2 Dunks.
