| Had my ST2 over a year and am very happy with it. She's got a little mis-fire problem at the moment but hoping to sort that asap. I had the choice of any sports tourer and chose the Duc because it is underated by the press and public alike and therfore excellent value for money as a used buy.
It is a well balanced package of power and handeling.
I know there are a lot of owners of fast sports models here, but I belive we in this country have a misguided obsession with BHP and top speed which is feed buy MCN and other mags. In the "real" world of motorcycling nobody needs the latest fastest bike on public roads. Remember, manufactureres use a policy of built-in obsurlesence to encourage you to but the latest product, buy convincing you the product they sold you last year is now crap !
The press who are dependent on advertising revenue's have to appease their masters and be party to this.
The ST2 will do almost twice the legal speed limit, do you need any more ?
If you want speed for the race track then your needs are different.
And finally (and many jap 4 owners will also say) nothing sounds better on the road than a big twin !!
