Ducati ST4s to FZ1

[jrsbike]

I sold my 04 Ducati St4s when someone made me an offer I could not refuse. I was a great all around bike in that I went long distance touring and railed around New England back roads. The closest replacement to this, short of the new Multistrada, is the FZ1. It seems to have an ideal power to weight, is easy to ride and can handle a number of tasks. I would immediately put on lower bars or high rise clip ons and look to putting hard bags on; essentially replicating the Ducati. Has anyone out there gone from an ST4s to the FZ1 and if so what are your conclusions? thanks

I have not, but you can easily set up the FZ1 for similar tasks and still enjoy the corners.

Where in MA? North of Boston?

Had a st3 that was a great bike to ride when going:rant:.more underseat storage,adjustable handle bar height and a really easy bike to ride.
The fz1 gives you power, looks good and a bike thats easy to ride.
Hard bags are great for touring but always look bulky on sportier bikes.
