Ducati Sport Touring description

1998 Ducati ST2 with 47,600 miles. This is a great sport-touring bike, with roomy saddlebags and Ducati handling. I have owned this bike since 2008 and put 30,000 great miles on--but it's time to let it go since I just got a 2015 BMW S1000R and I am not riding this bike anymore. 

Recent maintenance:

* Fresh valve adjust and timing belts
* Battery, Stator, Regulator-Rectifier @ 44016 miles/July 2014
- including revised-design rotor spacer for improved cooling
- finned regulator from Honda Goldwing for improved cooling (bodywork modified)
* Oil and filter change @ 47072 miles/Oct 2014

Lots of farkles/extras:

* Slip-ons (un-labeled but most likely Fast by Ferraci)--OEM slip-ons also included
* FIM Ultimap chip--generally considered the best chip for this bike
* Ducati Performance gel saddle
* Ducati Performance tank cover and tank bag
* Bodywork modified for Dzus fasteners and Desmo Times upper fairing bracket--makes bodywork removal much easier than stock design
* Evoluzione clutch slave cylinder
* Barnett clutch and basket
* Gerbing permanent-mount heated clothing controller
* HID headlight (low-beam)--high-beam remains halogen to allow "flash-to-pass" function
* Zero Gravity smoked touring windscreen, with electronics mounting shelf
* Bodywork modified for Dzus fasteners and Desmo Times bracket
* Waterproof, panel-mount voltmeter
* Cox Racing radiator guard

Available separately:
* D&D slip-ons
* New, never-mounted Michelin Pilot Road 4 rear tire
* Lots of miscellaneous spare parts, including spare headlight

Full disclosure: this bike has 47k+ miles. It is not showroom fresh--these miles do show. The clear coat on the tank is damaged due to gasoline--see photos. You can't see it with the tank cover on, but it's there. You will find scratches and rock chips in the paint, and a small crack in one lower fairing. One slip-on is slightly creased (in a spot you won't easily see) from a tie-down strap when the bike was transported on a trailer. Nevertheless, I wouldn't hesitate to hop on this bike and ride anywhere tomorrow.

Note: this bike is for sale locally.  In case it sells locally I will of course need to cancel the eBay listing.  Also, eBay seems to think I will ship the bike--I can't figure out how to change that in the listing but I do not plan to ship the bike.  You will need to pick it up in metro Detroit, MI.  Buy my trailer at the same time and make your life easy :).

Rossi and Hayden Find Improvement but Disappointed with Results

Thu, 01 Mar 2012

The good news for Valentino Rossi is he managed to narrow the gap in lap times between his Ducati Desmosedici and Casey Stoner‘s Honda RC213V. The bad news is other riders improved more than he did. Rossi completed 57 laps and set a time of 2:01.550 on the third and final day of the second MotoGP test at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit.

Collector’s Item: Ducati Diavel AMG, the Mercedes-badged Audi

Thu, 19 Apr 2012

As expected, Mercedes-Benz’s performance division AMG announced it is cutting ties with Ducati following the motorcycle manufacturer’s acquisition by rival car-maker Audi. AMG released a brief statement saying, explaining the split and saying it we never in the running to purchase Ducati: “Since the end of 2010 a successful marketing cooperation has existed between AMG and Ducati. The company takeover by a rival car manufacturer has understandably resulted in the end of any further collaboration.
