Overview

Introducing the 2002 Ducati ST 4, a powerful sport touring motorcycle that effortlessly marries the thrill of performance with the comforts of long-distance riding. As part of Ducati’s esteemed ST lineup, the ST 4 is engineered for those who crave both excitement on twisty roads and the capability to cover miles in comfort. With its distinctive Italian styling and a robust feature set, this bike stands out in a competitive market, appealing to enthusiasts who seek a blend of sportiness and touring practicality. At the heart of the ST 4 is a potent 916 cc V2 engine, delivering a remarkable 105 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and a robust torque of 89 Nm at 7,500 RPM. The four-stroke powerplant, with its 11.0:1 compression ratio and advanced fuel injection system, ensures an exhilarating ride, whether you’re navigating urban streets or embarking on a cross-country adventure. The 6-speed gearbox provides seamless shifts, allowing riders to tap into the engine's full potential while experiencing the road’s undulating curves. The ST 4’s performance is further enhanced by its light frame, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4884 HP/kg, making it both agile and responsive. Ducati has equipped the ST 4 with an array of features that elevate the riding experience. The dual front disc brakes, measuring a substantial 320 mm, provide exceptional stopping power, while the single rear disc adds balance to the braking performance. The suspension setup, with 130 mm of front travel and 148 mm at the rear, combines sportiness and comfort, ensuring that riders can tackle corners with confidence while enjoying a smooth ride over varying terrains. The bike’s generous fuel capacity of 21 liters means fewer stops on long journeys, and the adjustable seat height at 820 mm caters to a range of rider preferences, enhancing comfort for both short and tall riders alike. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 916 cc V2 engine delivers impressive horsepower and torque, making it a thrilling ride for sport enthusiasts.
  • Comfort-Oriented Design: With its adjustable seat height and touring-friendly ergonomics, the ST 4 is ideal for long-distance travel without sacrificing sportiness.
  • Robust Braking System: The advanced dual disc brake setup provides excellent stopping power, enhancing rider confidence in various riding conditions.

Cons

  • Weight Considerations: At 215 kg, the bike may feel heavier for some riders, especially during maneuvering at low speeds.
  • Limited Wind Protection: While designed for sport touring, the fairing may not provide as much wind protection as dedicated touring models.
  • Maintenance Costs: As with many Ducati models, maintenance can be more expensive compared to other touring motorcycles, which may deter some budget-conscious riders.
