presentation of the 996 ST4 S 2001

at first glance, there's nothing to distinguish the S from the standard ST4, or even from the ST2. A new set of controls, an anti-theft device with coded key... Nothing to suggest the beast's potential. Because on this version of Ducati's sport-GT, it's nothing less than the boiling heart of the 996 that rumbles. Sufficiently flexible, the twin provides almost 1 mkg of extra torque. it pushes from 4,000 rpm over a wide rev range. Certainly more efficient in terms of engine performance, the ST4s also gains an Öhlins rear shock absorber. Rigorous and functional, it adapts to the duo in a matter of seconds thanks to a practical knob. With its muscular twin-cylinder engine, the bike is a pleasure to ride. The rider delights in winding roads where the twin's trunk restricts the use of the gearbox. As a good Ducat, the bike's roadholding is beyond criticism, safe and efficient. The same applies to braking, which can be reinforced with ABS in 2003.

Al Model 2003

I bought it in 2004, after riding Yamahas, Kawasakis, Suzukis, Hondas, and Aprilias. In fact, starting with the Pollini-tuned 103SP I rode when I was 14, through a Husqvarna 125 WR, a Fantic 300 (trial), a Suzuki 800 DR, a Honda 1000 Big, a 750 VFR, and many others. Variations on the same theme and pure enjoyment.
I was finally looking for my ultimate motorcycle, the one I would marry.
Knowing that I’d always have a small, lightweight trail bike on the side for Saturday off-road fun, and—shame aside—a scooter for the city.
The Ducati V-twin Desmo had always been my dream, that unattainable teenage fantasy. The ST4S was that 30-year-old dream. Beautiful, red of course, with a throaty tenor-like roar yet comfortable on long rides, the torque of a bull, a state-of-the-art chassis and suspension, safe and precise. A serious toy. I can attest to this: it seriously teases the motorcyclist’s pleasure. 03/14/2026 09:30 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Al

I bought this st4s a bit by chance, it was for sale at Ducati, I took it for a spin and left with... The handling is top notch, the shock absorber does a great job and so does the fork when the front wheel touches the ground... with one tooth less on the psb you'll save money on the front tire. I sold it to buy a diavel, then other brelons. I've had Honda, Suz, Guzzi, Triumph, Ducati of course, and the one I've decided to buy is this st4s because it's got everything I love about motorcycles! 01/15/2022 17:53 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Max
