We all love a sporty-looking tourer with plenty of fierce oomph on tap, don’t we?
The 2002 variant of Ducati’s ST4S range is powered by a liquid-cooled DOHC L-twin leviathan, with a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and eight desmodromic valves. When the crankshaft spins at around 8,750 rpm, the 996cc colossus will be more than happy to deliver as much as 117 hp to a six-speed transmission, which is paired with a chain final drive.
At 7,000 revs per minute, this nasty animal will go about summoning a peak torque output figure of 72 pound-feet (98 Nm). Bologna’s tourer is capable of accelerating to 60 mph (96 kph) from a dead stop in as little as 3.3 seconds, while its top speed is rated at 155 mph (250 kph). The ‘02 MY ST4S will cover the quarter-mile distance in just 10.7 ticks.
On the other hand, plentiful stopping power comes from dual 320 mm (12.6 inches) brake rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers worn by the front wheel. This setup is accompanied by a single 245 mm (9.6 inches) disc and a twin-piston caliper at the rear end. Suspension duties are handled by a pair of 43 mm (1.7 inches) inverted Showa forks and a fully-adjustable monoshock from Ohlins.
The entire structure rides on five-spoke Marchesini hoops, with a diameter of 17 inches on both ends. Now, it’s time to skip the other technical details and tell you why we’ve bothered to examine these specifications. As you scroll down the list of BaT (Bring A Trailer) auctions, you’ll discover that a neat 2002 Ducati ST4S is going under the hammer at no reserve.
It flaunts an array of minor adjustments applied by the current owner, including a reupholstered saddle and a larger windshield for additional comfort. The standard mirrors have been replaced with foldable alternatives, while the wheels received a new set of Continental tires.
Furthermore, the 996cc L-twin behemoth was blessed with modern spark plugs, reworked valves and fresh fluids. If you think this pristine Duc would look right at home in your driveway, you’ll have to visit Bring A Trailer before Saturday evening (August 7), when the auctioning period will end. For the time being, you’d need a little over 2,000 bucks to best the top bidder.
