Up for bid is a very nice 2004 Ducati ST3.  Ducati no longer markets their former Sport Touring series of bikes (ST2, ST3 and ST4), and clean examples are becoming more difficult to find.  The ST3 had a relatively short production run, but many riders felt it offered the best compromise between the low-end torque of the ST2 and top-end punch of the ST4.

This particular bike has been nicely upgraded with a Penske rear shock, Cycle Cat bar risers and Ventura rear rack and headlight cover.  Current mileage is approximately 25,350 miles, but may change as the bike is ridden during the course of the auction.

Maintenance is up to date with the exception of timing belt replacement, which is currently due, but consideration of this expense has been factored into the reserve price.  Otherwise, the bike is in extremely good shape for its age, showing only minor wear from use.  Notable exceptions are a repaired crack in the lower left fairing (shown in photo), some discoloration to the seat vinyl and one of the heated grips not working.  Tires are estimated at about 50% remaining tread.

I have tried to capture the overall condition of the bike in my photos.  However, I always urge potential buyers to ask questions before bidding, and I will do my best to provide the requested information, take additional photographs as required or re-examine the bike if more description is needed.  I am an established eBay user with perfect seller feedback on over 60 motorcycle-related transactions, and always make every attempt to be as accurate and honest as possible in my listings.

Please note that this bike is currently financed through my financial institution, and I am unable to transfer the title directly to a new buyer; even with a cash purchase.  It will be the responsibility of the winning bidder to arrange payoff and title transfer through my financial institution, although I will help in any way I can.  Similarly, shipping cost and arrangements will be the responsibility of the winning bidder.

My reserve is set substantially below the Kelly Blue Book suggested retail value and the NADA average retail.  Here is an opportunity to purchase a beautiful ST3 at a great price.

Thank you for looking, and good luck bidding!
