Forks
The front fork maintains the stiffness of the latest 2003 version, but uses 42mm instead of 50mm forks, which enables weight to be saved
Frame
Tubular steel frame, typical of all Ducati production. The 2004 version is different in the engine mountings, making it easier to assemble and remove the engine itself. The dimensions are the same as the 2003 version
Fuel Tank
This extends under the seat to improve centralization of the masses. It sports an indentation in the front part, which contains the main electrical components. This modification has also been made to centralize the masses
Swing Arm
In pressed aluminium, this has been completely redesigned and is lighter than the previous version while retaining the same stiffness
