You’ll be on cloud nine after taking Bologna’s sporty tourer for a ride on the Interstate.
Within its tubular steel trellis frame, the 1999 MY Ducati ST2 carries a liquid-cooled SOHC L-twin powerplant, which packs a Marelli electronic fuel injection unit, two desmodromic valves per cylinder and a healthy displacement of 944cc. The engine channels its force to the rear 17-inch wheel via a six-speed transmission and a chain final drive.
When the tachometer hits 8,500 spins, the four-stroke leviathan is capable of summoning up to 83 untamed horses, while a peak torque output of 62 pound-feet (84 Nm) will be produced lower down the rpm range. In the end, this state of affairs enables the Duc to run the quarter-mile distance in 12.1 seconds at 109 mph (175 kph). Bologna’s tourer prides itself with a top speed of 134 mph (215 kph).
Right, let’s be a little more specific; the ST2 featured in this article comes with an array of higher-spec components installed by its current (and only) owner. For starters, you will find a taller windshield and handlebar raisers adorning the front end, along with an ST3’s repurposed saddle at the rear.
Performance enhancements come in the forms of fresh exhaust mufflers, a new clutch slave cylinder, and a lithium-ion battery. Moreover, an aftermarket ECU is tasked with running the entire show. The bike’s five-digit odometer tells us that it’s only been ridden for just over 11k miles (around 18,000 km), and you could be the next person who gets to take it for a spin!
The Italian brute is going under the hammer at no reserve, with a current bid of almost 3,000 bucks. You may submit yours by heading over to the BaT (Bring A Trailer) platform before Wednesday evening (August 25), when the bidding deadline will be reached. If you’re after a competent machine that’ll fulfill your touring needs, you’ll definitely want to check this thing out while there’s still time.
