– 2005 Ducati Sport Touring ST3
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.

Improved reliability and low emissions make the ST3 a confident choice to tackle wild mountain passes and endless stretches of highway. Producing 107 hp at 8750 rpm, the ST3 has more than enough power for the long haul and inspires confidence, even when two-up and under the full weight of luggage.
