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.
