Re: [DucatiST] St2 or St4 milage

 

Oh yea, I forgot to add, I've always averaged around 50mpg since I got the bike and most of mine is mountain riding with very little interstate cruising.

Hi All
 
I am from South of Sydney, Australia and am currently a Suzuki RG500 owner but not for long. I have long admired Ducati's and have decided to sell of the Suzuki, which I have long desired and get a bike with touring capabilities. I have read as much as could have got my hands on about the ST2 and ST4's yet feel the need to get help from those that have had long term ownership rather than merely test pilots who have ridden the bikes for maybe a day and then write as experts.
 
I am leaning towards an ST4 t the moment but realise that the ST2 also is a great bike. I am so impressed with a couple of reports i have read by ST2 owners whose bikes show well over 100,000k's and still going strong.
I hope to do lots of touring in Australia on whatever bike I buy. Service costs are an issue for me and so need to know the following.
 
1. Are service costs for the ST4 significantly more than for the ST2?
 
2. Is there longevity issues with the ST4 as there does not appear to be with the ST2?
 
3. What kind of difference is there in the fuel consumption?    
 
4. Which bike is better for 2 up riding?
 
5. What kind of k;s between servicing for the bikes?
 
6. Which one is more comfortable for touring?
 
Thank you for the responses. i hope to act on teh info asap and hopefully have one of these bikes in my garage within 4 weeks.
 
thanks and g'day from Lindon
