| RBW,
I have an ST3 for the last 8 months. Just going in for its 6k service in a couple of weeks. It takes about 1k to fully loosen up. Reliability has been 100% so far. Had it over in Scotland and Wales this summer and intend to do France his year. The standard suspension settings have proved bang on for solo riding. Had plenty of Jap machines before a dedicated Ducati dealer opened in Dublin. None are a patch on the Duke. Tried out an S4. More powerful at the top end but not as easy to drive in town. Suspension was better at the back end on the 4. I commute every day by bike so I went for the ST3. No regrets and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
