• 2005 Ducati Sport Touring ST4s ABS

The classic European Gran Turismo tradition is the inspiration for the Ducati Sport Touring family. The 2005 ST family offers maximum handling, rider comfort and style in three models – the ST3, with 3-valve Desmo engine, and the flagship ST4S and ST4S ABS. The advanced Anti-lock Braking System on the ST4S ABS offers enhanced safety and confidence in all riding conditions.

With its ideal riding position, optional saddlebags and two of our most powerful Ducati Desmodromic 90° L-twin engines, the ST family excels on both weekend get-aways and longer cross-country journeys.

Features & Benefits

The ST4S bristles with our best race-derived components combined with all-day riding comfort. The awesome Superbike 996 cc Desmoquattro engine ensures maximum power.

Add the confidence of the new ABS system to the unique and beautiful sound of the Ducati big-bore twin and you have the ultimate Sport Touring motorcycle.

The signature Ducati trellis frame, derived from our World Superbikes, compliments our powerful engines with confident and stable road holding.

Of course, a great engine can only reach its potential when matched with an equally advanced chassis and suspension.
