Title: ST2=200,000k(parks next to the M800) Post by: auntymal on August 23, 2012, 03:28:32 PM ...pleased to report, after a quick run to catch up with the "Black Doggers", out Condo' way and a loop through Gloucester, Nabiac, thence home to Newy, the ole' ST2 clocked up 200,000k. Next time someone starts rubbishing Ducati reliability....... [Dolph]

Its amazing how many people wont consider buying a bike with over 30K on the clock when they are capable of this. Title: Re: ST2=200,000k(parks next to the M800) Post by: auntymal on August 24, 2012, 12:44:34 AM .......even 100,000k is still "only" 60,000 mile.....and if it's water cooled, gets 5000k oil changes, warm ups, and is not revved into the twilight zone on every gear change, (i.e. it's not a race engine), it 'should' outlive its rider..... It's on its fourth chain, it's second clutch, replaced @ 140,000k due to the basket wearing out completely, it was however, still not slipping.....new 'second hand' basket and a set of std plates, and on we go......original unit sent back to the factory.

Makes me glad to know I have many, many, many great years ahead with my Lucia!

[Dolph] (http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss263/auntymal/P1010319.jpg) I notice the DA VANTI sticker on your bike and wondered if there was any connection with these beauties I saw down at Phillip Island ?
