The 2006 ST3s ABS is just about the best all around bike one could own. It has some glitches though that can be remedied with a set of Staintune pipes and a K&N air filter and a bit of tuning by the Ducati guys. The ECU is the problem and it´s not an easy fix with a Duc. Slow speed driving around town type is not fun with this bike. When the fan is kicking at at 105 degrees coolant temp the bike usually stalls off the line. Not a good \
