Picking up an 05 ST3 (Silver) from Ducati City - Melbourne (Australia) on Wednesday next. Selling a year old Triupmh Sprint 1050 and will be sad to see her go, but I love V-twins and have always wanted a Duke. Cannot afford the ST4S and the ST3 was also enjoyable on a short test, so I know it will be a great bike to change from my Sprint. Got seriously tempted by the 750 Aprilia Shiver (LOTSA fun) and to a lesser extent by the 1100 Multistrada, but the ST range is the better all round bike and I prefer it´s riding position.
