Motorcycle specifications Ducati996 ST4 S 2003 Supersport-GT

Sport touring

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.

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! Rating : 5/5
