Specifications and features[edit]
ST2 has features for sport touring, including hard luggage, relaxed ergonomics and powerful engine.
Frame[edit]
The frame is a tubular trellis frame, similar to the 916 frame in torsional rigidity and lightness.
Engine[edit]
The Ducati ST2 relies on the power plant that it appears to be derived from the 907 Ducati Paso, which features the signature 90° L-twin, SOHC, 2-valve desmo heads, Remus exhausts, 10.2:1 compression and Webber-Marelli electronic fuel injection with one injector and one spark plug per cylinder. It has an increased bore to 944cc and a heavier flywheel appropriate to its touring function.
Suspension[edit]
The suspension in fully adjustable for the early production series, featuring upside-down Showa forks at the front and Sachs rear shock, the same as the Ducati 916 Superbike but with softer damper ratings.
Brakes and tires[edit]
The ST2 front brakes feature twin 320mm floating Brembo discs and four-piston calipers, while the rear uses Brembo single 245mm disc with a twin-piston caliper. The recommended tyres are Michelin Macadam or Metzeler's MEZ4 sport radials in 120/70 ZR17 for the front and 170/60 ZR17 for the rear, on Brembo rims.
Ergonomics[edit]
The riding position is slightly forward for sport riding and touring comfort. The large dual saddle accommodates two riders.
Gauges[edit]
The tachometer is positioned centrally. Under the gauges is a liquid-crystal window that displays fuel level, engine coolant temperature and time.
