The 2003 Ducati ST3 three valve head was designed to rationalize the ST4 four valve head motorcycle and make a usable mount for normal street use. It succeeded beyond expectations, eliminating the abruptness and overwhelming power delivery of the ST4 to make for one Ducati’s best Sport Touring Motorcycles ever. The “S” model was offered in 2006 with ABS Brakes, upgraded Suspension including an Öhlins rear Shock, upgraded Showa Front Forks, a $2000 boast over the standard ST3 making the bike more European in essence over the standard ST.

This one owner bike is in great condition for with recent services done at Hansen’s BMW. The Factory Hard Bags mount to Ducati bag mounts that can be removed without destroying the look of the motorcycle. Something I saw that was interesting was that the mufflers have two mounting holes on the rear foot hangers, one higher than the other. You use the lower mount when the bags are installed and raise them to the higher hole when not running the bags. The Mufflers on the bike are Ducati Performance accessory items, giving the bike a beautiful, powerful sound beloved by all Ducati enthusiasts. There is also a RKA Magnetic Tank Bag

Timing belts were replaced two years ago and just over 1,000 miles ago. The bike has not been ridden due to changing life style circumstances. It is ready to travel once again and for about a third of the original selling price. All of the keys are included, including the red key and code card. There is a slight scuff on the throttle side saddle bag from parking a little close to another bike.

With just 9,694 miles showing, the selling price is $4,995, the VIN is ZDM1TBBS96B004524. Please come by and see at Automania LLC, 895 SE Gladiola Drive, Grants Pass, OR 97526. http://www.automaniagp.com 541 479 8888 Oregon Dealer DA1287.
