Ducati 1000GT Classic (2008)

Ducati 1000GT Classic (2008)

The Ducati 1000GT Classic – a masterful blend of vintage charm and modern sensibility. This retro-styled roadster boasts a four-stroke, 90-degree twin-cylinder engine, delivering 92bhp at 8,000rpm and 91Nm of torque at 6,000rpm.

The Ducati GT1000’s air-and-oil cooled v-twin is an exercise in understated elegance, its characterful tone evident even at low revs. On the road, the bike feels light and supremely comfortable, slicing through city traffic with ease.

But don’t be fooled – beneath its elegant façade lies a potent machine capable of building speed quickly and effortlessly on winding roads. The Ducati engine calms down as the pace picks up, while handling remains pin-sharp.
