ST2

2003 Ducati ST2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Ducati's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2003 Ducati ST2 relies on a 944 cc (57.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. 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 and chain final drive. With a specific output of 87.9 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.
