42/15, still the bike has it's own mind, It's a funny thing that, if it was a Jap 120hp bike it wouldn't be so intimidating. but these things have a soul...
I went 14/43 back to stock, as it was too much for me after a ZZR and while getting used to the Ducati. I think I am ready to add some teeth to the back, but...
"I am glad, however, if it means that Ducati will be continuing to support ST riders with future models. Maybe an ST4RR? Now that would be fun...Charlie" Sorry...
Some information for those looking for backpacks for motorcycle use. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r3/motorcycle-backpack/large-motorcycle-back pack/ ...
Doubled my horsepower with the ST2. My old Guzzi made only about 48. Funny thing is, I was totally happy with it. The extra power on the ST2 is great, but I...
... I have no experience of the 4s, but I agree that my ST4 needs a MUCH more careful hand than my 650cc vee-twin bikes, and this small solo rider doesn't need...
I highly recommend something in the 18hp range with really good suspension, soft slicks, and frighteningly large brakes in the front, like my CRF150 with an...
... Charlie, I do not think you will find a single person to disagree with you in the above statement. I even think 350 is too little on the freeway. But once...
... No, Ducati agrees with you and replaced the ST4 for the ST3. I also happen to agree with you. I think anything but a 1098 with a 1098 engine would be...
I have one of these and I love it: http://www.axio-usa.com/hardpacks.html Mine is the same model as the Pramac Ducati/Repsol pack. I have had it for a few...
Learn from the cycle messengers: http://www.chromebags.com/ Best... motorcycle backpack... eva! I own two of the messenger bags(small and giant) and the giant...
Yes those are very trendy, especially here in Portland with all of the hipsters and thier fixed gear bicycles. I tried riding with a friends(they sell them at...
Cortech has a great back pack for one or two night and it has a helmet carrier built in. it is called the Tourmaster back pack It has a interior pocket which...
Actually, I very much like the power delivery of the ST2 engine (definitely do NOT like ST4 or ST4S power delivery). For sport-touring, I think they've got it...
Count me in the Messenger Bag column -- I'm kinda peeved that Ortleib stopped making the one I use, a heavy-duty Hypalon thing with a dry-bag like roll top....
... I don't know, but when I traded the '98 ST2 for the '03 ST4S abs I was astounded by how much better the bike was all around... handling and power. I don't...
The non-symmetry is why I eventually went to the roll-top one with two straps. When I live close to work, I find the others are more useful. But when I live...
Heh, in Austin, the cycle messengers like walking up to you, saying "chrome!", and then popping the button, giving you JUST enough reaction time to catch it(or...
I'm pretty much with Jack on this. For me, my ST2 has a good combination of power, torque & weight. I steered away from BMW nine years ago because Beemers...
... yes, basically that. i love my ST4s and i do not need more power. however, i am aware that the lifespan of my ST is finite no matter how well cared for...
What's even more fun, is when you're riding with your buddies and you come up to a stoplight. Switch their key off and throw it on to the sidewalk. That one...
I had an ST4 which I traded in for the suspension and larger 996 cc motor of the ST4S. I love the ST4S and how it rides and eats up miles but wish it had...
I agree that it is easier to ride a smaller engine bike faster than ride a bigger engine bike slower. My track bike is my 750 ss not my 999s. Whatever the...

848 in a lighter chassis and lighter bodywork with luggage.. Brilliant engine. 120 rear wheel hp with exhaust and ecu. Plenty torque and loads of fun to ride....
