Re: Triumph Sprint ST vs Ducati ST4

["mchead" <mchead@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rick.
I have only been on the ST4 for about 30 miles but here is my comparison.
The Sprint has much better wind protection than the ST4. The ridding
position is more agressive than the Sprint which you may or maynot like. The
torque curve is much better on the Sprint and from what I hear the
desmodronic valves are much more of a hassle.
Not much info but I hope it helps.I was considering the Ducati before the
Sprint was released and after the Sprint arrived my mind was set on the
Sprint.  The only thing I liked more on the Ducati was the engine sound.
This could be because I spent 12 years on Harley-Davidsons before the move
to Triumphs.

Hope your recovery is going well.
