Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2004 Ducati ST3. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Introduced in 2003, Ducati’s ST3 was an evolution of both the ST2 and the ST4 – it utilized a unique three-valve head (two intake, one exhaust) which helped blend the ST2’s torque and the ST4’s top-end. On the road, this resulted in some 107hp and 72lb-ft of torque.
What’s more, early ST3s featured a dry clutch; a feature that was eventually dropped from 2005 onwards.
As Bennetts put it, “when you ride an ST3 it feels every bit the lovely lazy V-twin you would hope for in a sports tourer.”
This example is VIN: ZDM1TBBS74B001442. The seller acquired the bike from a private party one year ago.
During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 500 miles. The odometer shows 6,922 miles.
