| Don't give up on it.
My ST4s is my first duke and after 3 years I am getting better on it. I still don't get every corner right and round town it is a pig. The clutch is a constant source of annoyance to me.
On the other hand there is nothing I would rather ride over the alps. Firing it out of hairpins was the best. Get out there and use it for what it was designed for and you'll fall in love.
Have you thought about a few mofifications? I think you get adjustable levers as standard now but they have transformed the bike for me. As has a bit of lower gearing - this has made the revs higher in any given situation and made the negine come alive. |
