Sportclassic - CLASSIC STYLE AND MODERN SPORT PERFORMANCE
Welcome to the Ducati SportClassic family: motorcycles
that capture the essential beauty, timeless style and emotion
of Engineer Fabio Taglioni’s original Ducati sport
bikes of the 1970s. While retaining the best of the past,
they have been developed using the latest technology and
engineering, creating a range of thoroughly modern motorcycles
that live up to today’s standards of road-going performance.
The Sport and GT models are all powered by the outstanding
Desmo 1000 Dual Spark engine.
The torquey air-cooled 90º 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.
TRELLIS FRAME AND WIRE-SPOKE WHEELS
The SportClassic 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 using
the engine as a ‘stressed member.’
The beauty of wire-spoke wheels grace Ducati road bikes
once again. Starting with an alloy hub, the new wheels use
36 chromed stainless steel spokes. 17” alloy Excel
rims, famous in racing circles for their lightweight performance
and durability, are used on the Sport 1000 and Sport
1000 S, while 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. 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.
MOTOGIRO D’ITALIA
Ducati sponsors the Motogiro d’Italia, a historical
re-enactment of one of the original long-distance road races
in Italy. Motogiro, and its parade of hundreds of motorcycles
old and new criss-crossing unforgettable Italian countryside,
has become a point of reference for those passionate about
vintage motorcycles and historic motorcycle events.
