Rider Profile

Best ForSuits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey V-twin and sportier ergonomics than a typical tourer.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly with genuine sport-bike handling and braking when the road turns twisty.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and relatively light dry weight for its class make it manageable, though the reach to the bars is sportier than a pure tourer.
CharacterA refined, high-quality sport tourer with Ducati desmodromic V-twin character, premium Ohlins and Showa suspension, and strong brakes for confident fast riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use, complete beginners, or riders wanting a fully upright, plush cruiser-style riding position.

2005 Ducati ST4 S ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2005 Ducati ST4 S ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
