Sports: Re: [DucatiST] the right room minimal ducati content Alfa?

Hey Jack, that's my take on it too. I looked at a BMW K1200GT today. Happened to be on the lot when I was trying to get a clutch cable my son had ordered for his cbr. Don't understand why no one keeps even the simplest of parts now a days. Honda service must really suck. I'm already off topic.... The BMW K1200GT was about the most cold natured bike I've ever seen. Hell, it was hot as hell come to think of it and the thing still wouldn't take any gas without bogging after about 3 minutes of idling. I keep coming back to STs.
So the plan is to find a ST4s as soon as the Fiat is sold. I've already got several in mine. There out there for sure.

I figure it this way......there will be a supply of low mileage, low priced ST bikes out there for years to come, just waiting to be ridden by an enthusiast like me. I haven't found the bike that I like "better" than what I have and I ride new stuff all the time. It just "fits" me and gives me a blank canvas to paint for myself.

Yes, as soon as I had made that comment, I thought of the low values for our particular bikes and realised that quality design and reliability don't necessarily rate in the modern market place. I'd still be interested to hear about Alfa cars' competence even though there's NDC in it!
