Hello

  1. New to biking and just bought my first bike after passing my test.
    A mint condition, genuinely mint condition, 1998 ST2.

    It's too much bike for a newby they said
    It's a Ducati, it'll break down they said
    It will be a in a sorry state at that price they said

    Thank f**k I didn't listen to them

    Will need a gorilla bar to prise the grin off my face


    Just saying

    Hi
     
  2. Welcome. Ducati's make you smile like nothing else :cool:
     
  3. Hello and welcome! Have you found where to put the tax disc? If so keep it to yourself, there's plenty on here want to know!
     
  4. Welcome - you're talking to the converted (bit like North Sea Gas)
     
  5. like you I am new to biking (passed my test a couple of weeks ago) I ignored all the Internet advice and bought a 17 year old 600SS, I absolutely love it, has taken some miles to get used to it, but what it has is oodles of charm and character, however as I am 48 the riding position is not ideal, so an ST is definitely on my list for a future bike, and they are cracking value for money.
     
  6. Thought about a 748 but couldn't get along with the riding position so opted for the ST2 and it's over 40's compatible riding position.
    I'm still grinning

    Oh and on the swing arm Archer
