Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an intermediate or experienced rider comfortable with a torquey V-twin and sport-oriented handling.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly in comfort, blending Ducati sportbike character with genuine touring practicality.
Rider FitA moderate 820mm seat height and adjustable ergonomics make it manageable for most rider sizes, though the 212kg mass demands confident low-speed handling.
CharacterA charismatic desmodromic V-twin sport tourer that rewards spirited riding while still pampering rider and passenger on long hauls.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures, absolute beginners, or riders wanting a lightweight, low-maintenance commuter.

2001 Ducati ST 4 S 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 2001 Ducati ST 4 S, 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.
