Classic style and modern sport performance: The Ducati SportClassic family feature motorcycles that capture the essential beauty, timeless style and emotion of Engineer Fabio Taglioni’s original Ducati bikes of the 1970s. While retaining the best of the past, they have been developed using the latest technology and engineering, creating thoroughly modern motorcycles that live up to today’s standards of road-going performance.
The GT1000 is powered by the outstanding Desmodue 1000cc Dual Spark engine. The torquey air-cooled 90ยบ L-Twin is the perfect match to power bikes with a sporting soul. The cylinders, with their traditional cooling fins and classic ‘L’ configuration, are direct descendents of the original Taglioni design. Slim and exposed for all to see, the latest 2 valve Desmo system, fuel injection and computer controlled engine management ensure that the 1000 Dual Spark engine is powerful, dependable and thrilling to ride.
The incredible valve performances of our engines are only possible because of Ducati’s unique Desmodromic system, where valve closure is activated mechanically. At high rpm it would be almost impossible for the valve to follow the steep closure profile of the cam lobe if it were relying upon a normal valve spring. With the Desmo system, the valve is closed mechanically with the same accuracy as it is opened, enabling steep cam profiles and radical cam timings. This system is used on every single Ducati power unit including our world-beating Superbike and Desmosedici MotoGP engines.
The bike is equipped with a wet clutch for less clutch lever pull effort and quieter operation.
The GT 1000 produces 92hp (67.7kW) @ 8000rpm and produces a 67.25 lb-ft (9.3kgm) of torque @ 6,000rpm.
The beauty of wire-spoke wheels grace Ducati road bikes once again. Starting with an alloy hub, the wheels use 36 chromed stainless steel spokes. The GT 1000 is fitted with classic 17” chrome rims. Mounted to the rims are modern interpretations of classic sport tyres, replicating the original patterns, but with modern radial construction techniques and rubber compounds.
A well-padded dual seat features ‘Ducati’ printed in white proudly on the back.
The alloy hubs mount dual 320mm brake discs up front and a 245mm disc in the rear, both using lightweight black Brembo floating callipers to provide extra stopping power. Braking performance is further enhanced by classic black, steel-braided brake lines.
The 43mm fully adjustable Showa forks provide the superior road holding and performance you expect from Ducati. While retaining the best of the past, GT1000 have been developed using the latest technology and engineering, creating thoroughly modern motorcycles that live up to today’s standards of road-going performance
The GT1000 design takes advantage of the beauty of the signature Ducati tubular Trellis frame. The renowned strength and rigidity of the ALS 450 tubing has been further improved with complex triangulation and use of the engine as a ‘stressed member.’
Aboard the GT 1000, the feeling is one of comfort and control. The position is reassuringly upright, reaching to a pair of raised tubular handlebars. Rider footpegs are placed conservatively forward allowing comfort and good ground clearance at the same time. The GT 1000 is a true two-seater, so the passenger’s footpegs are also sensibly placed for all-day comfort.
The bike is fitted with user-friendly 4-point adjustable levers that provide easy-to-reach control for all hand sizes.
The twin stainless steel chromed exhaust silencers are positioned symmetrically on each side of the bike. Their low mounting position add to the bike’s distinctive vintage look.
The lines of the GT 1000 are modern interpretations of the classic lines from the original GTs from the 1970s. The slim fuel tank features knee cut-outs on the sides and deep sculpting on the top with a chrome fuel cap. Full fenders front and rear are complemented by trim side covers that evoke the spirit of the 70’s originals. Many of the details like the top crowns, fork caps and handlebar mounts are finished in polished aluminium, and are reflected in the chrome surfaces of the wheels, instrument trim, handlebars and horn covers.
The classic round headlight contributes to the bike’s retro style and is elegant in its simplicity.
