SPORTCLASSIC GT 1000 - A CLASSIC
Celebrating the essential beauty of the Ducati GT models
of the 1970s, the GT 1000 is a bike to be ridden every day,
with a balance of two-up comfort and Ducati Desmo Twin performance.
As you would expect from a motorcycle inspired by one of
the original icons of Ducati, every element and component
is built with the highest quality materials and engineered
with performance as a priority. Although classically inspired,
the GT is a modern Ducati motorcycle, so it is powerful,
handles confidently and is exciting to ride.

GT COMFORT
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. A well-padded dual seat, born
of a classic pattern, features ‘Ducati’ printed
in white proudly on the back. 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.
GT STYLE
The shapes of the GT 1000 are modern interpretations of
the classic lines of the original GTs of the 1970s. The
rather slim fuel tank features knee cutouts 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 remind us of the 70’s originals. Many of the
details like the top crowns and handlebar mounts are finished
in polished aluminium, and are reflected in the chrome surfaces
of the wheels, instrument trim, handlebars and horn covers.
Finally, the classic look is completed with chrome exhaust
pipes and mufflers, one per side.
COLOURS
This year, the GT 1000 introduces a new, classically inspired
two-tone colour scheme. The sophisticated classic silver
and smoke grey livery complements the existing two-tone
cream and metallic black with red completing the three colour
line-up.
