The Ducati Sport Classic 2010 GT1000
CLASSIC STYLE AND MODERN SPORT PERFORMANCE
Ducati launched, in addition to the already popular classic Ducati red, a new black colour scheme for the GT 1000.
Every Ducati SportClassic captures 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
thoroughly modern motorcycles that live up to today's standards of
road-going performance
THE SPORTCLASSICS - ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
The
GT is 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 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. The alloy hubs mount dual 320mm brake discs up front and a 245mm disc in the rear, both using lightweight black Brembo floating calipers to provide extra stopping power. Braking performance is further enhanced by classic black, steel-braided brake lines.
