| Unlike most other bike's Ducati's actually LIKE to be used-the harder the better. It's an engine designed for racing so use it. It's the people who just polish their pride and joy and then ride 25 miles to a pub on sunny sundays who have problems. My ST4S has done 25,000 miles now with quite a large portion of that mileage being done on long trips with 4-600 mile days. So far, 1 new clutch (at 18,000 service) and no new rockers-lots of tyres though.............
