Thanks.

I have the 5th Gen VFR currently, and want to get into a ST3. As it is a weekend bike only, I don't do many kays a year.

And yes I love the sound of the V4 with the Staintune exhaust, but when I had my Monster that Duc sound coming out of the Termi's was just as intoxicating. There is something very special about a Duc, that is for sure.

Looking forward to finding an ST3....
 
Interesting read.....
I've currently got a 98 Vfr800 with the gear driven cams and have a staintune on it. The sound is just great.

But as I've always wanted a Duc, I bought a Monster 695 that was going at the right price. Loved the Ducati sound and liveliness of that engine . So now I've sold the monster and am on the hunt for an St3.

So in terms of soul that everyone is talking about, can any one who had a 5th Gen VFR800 comment compared to an ST3? Details of note, ride quality, suspension?
