Model(s) covered: 2002 Ducati ST4
There's an old expression in biking – parts-bin-special. It's not polite; it refers to bikes that are bunged together, often by cash-strapped manufacturers, using bits from other models in their line up. You might be tempted to sneer at the ST4 and label it as a parts-bin-special, but you'd be wrong, very wrong. OK, it might have borrowed its motor from the 916 and its chassis from just about any recent Ducati sports bike you'd care to mention but despite this pedigree it's a bike in its own right. And it's a bloody good one too.
