Ducati St2
The Ducati St2 has a top speed of 220 km/h, produces 83 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
A Ducati ST2 foi introduzida em 1997 como parte da linha Sport Touring (ST) da Ducati, projetada para oferecer uma motocicleta mais prática e capaz de longa distância em comparação com suas motos esportivas puras. Ele apresentava um motor L-twin desmodrômico de 944 cc com cabeças de cilindro refrigeradas a líquido e foi posicionado como um veículo esportivo básico com carenagem completa e suportes de bagagem integrados. O ST2 foi produzido até 2003, quando foi descontinuado quando a Ducati mudou o foco para os modelos ST3 e ST4 mais potentes no segmento de turismo esportivo.

O que os compradores devem saber
Desmo Service Costs
The ST2 requires Desmodromic valve adjustments every 7,500 miles, which can cost $600–$1,000+ at a dealer. Always verify service history before buying — skipped intervals cause serious engine damage.
Watch for Oil Leaks
The ST2's air/oil-cooled 944cc V-twin is known for weeping oil from the cam belt covers and rocker covers as gaskets age. Minor seepage is common but should be monitored to avoid bigger issues.
Affordable Entry Point
The ST2 has depreciated heavily and can be found for $3,000–$5,500, making it one of the cheapest ways into a classic Ducati sport-tourer. Resale value is stable at the low end, so it holds its floor price well.

"O grand tourer de Bolonha com um batimento cardíaco que você nunca esquecerá."
A ST2 é o que acontece quando a Ducati tenta construir uma bicicleta sensata e não consegue se conter: aquela desmo twin de 944 cc puxa com força a 3.500 rpm com uma urgência impressionante que nenhuma bicicleta de turismo quatro em linha pode igualar e, em estradas A, ela realmente recompensa. No entanto, a ergonomia é um verdadeiro compromisso: mais esportiva do que confortável e, após quatro horas, os pinos e o assento conspiram contra você de uma forma que um BMW RT nunca faria. A confiabilidade é o elefante na sala: os serviços de válvulas de desmo a cada 12.000 km atingem sua carteira com força, a embreagem seca é alta o suficiente para alarmar os pedestres e os gremlins elétricos em exemplos mais antigos são praticamente um rito de passagem. Mas saia de uma vila a 4.000 rpm e sinta aquele aumento de torque, e você perdoará tudo por pelo menos mais cem milhas.

"An honest, rewarding Ducati — but only buy one with receipts."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe ST2 is Ducati's most sensible sport-tourer, which sounds like damning it with faint praise but genuinely isn't. That 944cc desmo V-twin pulls hard from low revs, makes a proper mechanical soundtrack, and won't terrorise you on a Sunday morning run. It's the Ducati you can actually live with — decent wind protection, half-decent luggage, and a riding position that won't destroy your wrists after two hours. But here's what dealers won't tell you: desmo valve clearance checks are non-negotiable every 7,500 miles and cost serious money at a dealership. Always demand service history showing this was done. Electrics are the other achilles heel — connectors corrode, sensors fail, and gremlins appear from nowhere on tired examples. Budget $500-800 annually for unexpected electrical nonsense on anything over 25,000 miles. Buy a clean low-mileage example with full service history and you've got an underrated, characterful sport-tourer that'll embarrass plenty of modern bikes. Buy a cheap neglected one and you're funding someone else's deferred maintenance nightmare.
