Technical Overview
2004 Ducati ST 3 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Ducati's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2004 Ducati ST 3 features a 992 cc (60.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 102 HP (74.5 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft) at 7,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 102.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,250 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the ST 3 measures 214 kg (472 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.1 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
