Ducati 996 ST4 S 2004 - Motorcycle specifications, reviews

presentation of the 996 ST4 S 2004

coinciding with the release of the ST3, Ducati is taking the opportunity to revamp the ST4s. It features all the ST3 's components, with the exception of the chassis and engine. The ST3 and 4s share the same forkhead, as well as a new dashboard, clever exhausts and height-adjustable half-guidelines. More comfort, protection... and sport; On the road, the ST4s is more powerful but more demanding, making riding more delicate than with the ST3, due to its heavier engine, and the power to be managed... the 996 is less supple, more brutal than the 1000 DS. More powerful and very rigorous, the Ducati's character is too pronounced. Suspension and braking are excellent, and so is the price. To this we can add the ABS, also sporty.
