Ducati ST2 (1999)

Ducati ST2 (1999)

The Ducati ST2 – a groundbreaking motorcycle that redefined the boundaries of sports touring. This sleek machine boasts an enlarged version of the iconic 907ie engine, now displacing 944cc with its signature two-valve, SOHC desmodromic configuration.

Its potent powerplant is perfectly balanced by a robust chassis, featuring upside-down Showa front forks and Brembo brakes plucked from the 916 sportsbike. The rear monoshock suspension, developed from the same 916 lineage, provides exceptional handling and stability.

As you settle into its ergonomically designed seat, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful touches – slightly lowered foot pegs and raised handlebars ensure maximum comfort for extended touring adventures. With sleek instrumentation, including a racing-style tachometer and LCD display screen, you’re poised to tackle the open road with confidence. And when the saddlebags are removed, the exhaust pipes adjust upward, optimizing cornering clearance.

The result is an exhilarating riding experience that effortlessly blends performance and usability – a true fusion of the “Gran Turismo” spirit.
