Ducati GT1000
A Sportclassic from Ducati Motorcycles
Ducati GT1000, The Ducati Sportclassic that won't hurt your back or your wrists. You can even tour on this one, with its optional screen, luggage rack, tank bag and panniers.
from Ridermagazine
"All three bikes share the same 1000 DS L-twin engine, so to my eye, the higher handlebars, cushier dual seat and lower price of the GT1000 were immediate attractions. Details like the small vented side covers and highly polished aluminum front fender braces, top triple clamp and handlebar mounts are simply elegant."
from motorcycle.com
"Like with the Paul Smart, you can see the huge effort applied to create a harmony as good as that of a period Beach Boys tune. The sheer impact of that huge headlight and those twin chromed horns, the tubular front fender brackets, the chrome accents on the clocks, the classic rear lamp/indicators cluster and let's not forget that oh-so-seventies white Ducati logo."
from onewheeldrive
"Showing what was then a sporting 70s offering is now the standard’s archetypical form. Pierre Terblanche has done a fine job distilling the essence of the original GT (with a touch of the 80s’ Darmah perhaps) and mixing it with a modern feel and technology without overweening mimicry of the original – an act that reveals his understanding of design and engineering."
from wrn
"The sculpted gas tank and seat, the exposed engine, the 70s-style font of the logos on the tank and stitched into the seat, the unusual bent shape of the fender support rails, the round taillight, the dual-exhaust pipes (one per side), the chromed spoke wheels, the rich red luster of the paint, and the chrome in all the right places -- it makes a statement."
