The 2005 Ducati ST4S takes the sport-touring concept and injects a healthy dose of Ducati performance. Its 996cc, four-valve engine cranks out 89.1 HP at 9500 rpm and 105 Nm of torque at 7250 rpm, providing a noticeable bump in power compared to the ST3. This gives the ST4S a more exciting and engaging riding experience, making it a capable canyon carver as well as a comfortable long-distance tourer. The six-speed gearbox allows the rider to make the most of the available power.
The ST4S retains the 820mm seat height and 21-liter fuel tank of the ST3, ensuring good ergonomics for long rides. However, the Showa 43mm upside-down front forks are fully adjustable and feature a TiN surface treatment for reduced stiction, enhancing the bike's handling capabilities. At 201 kg, it's slightly lighter than the ST3, contributing to its more agile feel.
This model is aimed at riders who demand more performance from their sport-tourer. It's ideal for those who enjoy spirited riding on twisty roads but also need a bike that can comfortably cover long distances. The ST4S offers a compelling combination of power, handling, and comfort, making it a great choice for experienced riders who want a versatile and exciting machine.
