2007 Ducati Sport Touring ST3

THE TOURING CHOICE WITH THE SOUL OF A SPORT BIKE
The ST3 features the potent 1000 L-Twin Desmo3 engine and the confidence-inspiring Ducati Trellis frame. With pre-load adjustable 43mm upside-down Showa forks and a fully adjustable Sachs rear shock, the ST3 is equally at ease on twisty mountain roads and cross-country tours.

The exclusive height adjustable exhaust system allows maximum ground clearance when the saddlebags are removed and the high performance Brembo braking system ensures spirited performance whatever the situation. Both rider and passenger enjoy a comfortable riding position and colour-coordinated panniers (optional extra) make the ST3 just perfect –whatever your destination.

 

Features and Benefits:

POWER, HANDLING AND COMFORT
The classic European Gran Turismo tradition — powerful engines, sport bike handling and all-day comfort — is the inspiration for the Ducati Sporttouring family. With optional ST saddlebags and a comfortable riding position, the ST3 is an ideal choice for a weeklong tour. A powerful Desmo3 engine combined with world-class suspension and brakes make the ST3 perfect for a day on winding mountain roads.

Ducati Sporttouring ergonomics are second to none. The front fairing and windscreen offer great protection from the elements for a more comfortable, quieter ride. A powerful headlamp offers superior illumination of the road. Handlebars that are height adjustable by 20mm, plus adjustable brake and clutch levers ensure that you are always comfortable and in control. And to make sure that your ST3 remains yours, every ST3 comes with an anti-theft immobilizer system and a Viro wheel lock as standard equipment.

THE DESMO3: IMPRESSIVE TORQUE, YET EASY TO TAME
The Desmo3 engine produces tractable and spirited power, tuned to effortlessly eat up the miles of long-distance journeys.

With 107hp of Desmo power and impressive low-end torque, the 1000 twin-cylinder Desmo3 engine is designed for smooth linear power while still delivering spirited sport performance. The Desmo3 brings together the excellent low-rev torque of 2-valve Desmo engines with the high-rev power of 4-valve Desmo engines, while liquid-cooling and electronic fuel injection ensure consistent, reliable performance.

A highly compact, lightweight cylinder head features Dual Spark technology to optimise combustion efficiency, and reduce both emissions and fuel consumption. The Desmo3 is also environmentally responsible and complies with the strict Euro 3 emissions standards.
