After falling in love riding my young sons CBR250R I decided I needed my own sportsbike.

After test riding 3 bikes on Friday,was told bout another bike that was,miraculously,in my price range but I was pretty noncomital bout riding.....

Two gear changes and there was a grin that just got bigger and bigger.Its love:love:Never in a million years did I imagine this would be the bike for me

I am the very proud owner of a hot hot hot sexy Italian-a blue Ducati ST4.Now I reckon I've got the perfect(for me)bikes in my garage:wari::devil2::2thumbsup

Congrats. Ducati St4's are rare in my neck of the woods......and I've never seen a blue one in person. I'd def. consider one if I ever got into sports touring and such. Got any pics to share yet??
