2000 Ducati ST2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Ducati's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2000 Ducati ST2 utilizes a 994 cc (60.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 83 HP (60.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 83.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the ST2 measures 209 kg (461 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4 HP/kg (2.52 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.

Within MotoLibrary's Ducati archive, this model family spans 5 indexed model years from 1997 to 2003, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
