A ducati fan for over 50 years, I've had a few Ducatis. After a 12-year love affair with a 2004 999, it became clear than I'm no longer in a place where a superbike is the right choice for me. I just couldn't abandon my love for Ducati magic, so I suspected that a sport touring option would be the right solution. A couple of days ago I became the proud owner of a 2004 ST3. She's red and beautiful with only 20,000 miles on her. Loaded with extra goodies: a Ohlins shock (off of an ST4S I believe), a Sargent seat, Marchesini wheels, Staintune exhaust, Helibars, heated grips, and more. How could I resist? I am just started to become in tune with her and am looking forwards to many miles of bliss. I look forward to interacting with this forum and hope that, with you assistance, I will be able to tame this steed to be all of what I hope that she will be!
