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 :).
