Motorcycle specifications DucatiSportClassic 1000 GT 2009 My best years
presentation of the SportClassic 1000 GT 2009
this is the least sporty of the SportClassics, but not the most uninteresting. A simple, classy bike that's great fun to ride. With its high handlebars, good seat and available engine, the GT lives up to its name. It's the ideal link between the Monster and the ST. Its inspiration comes from the 1970 750 GT. It differs from other SportClassics by adopting handlebars instead of wristbands, a different fuel tank and exhaust, a two-seater seat, 2 side shocks and many other small details. Its air-cooled, twin-valve Desmo engine is a perfect fit. Available, very Ducati-smooth and never lazy, the twin is always ready to get things moving, climbing to the edge of the red zone without apprehension. Suspension (a little firm, though) and braking are on the same wavelength, ensuring that this moderno-classic behaves in a most agreeable manner. Only the tires leave a bit of bitterness in the mix - too wide, too round, they don't allow the GT 1000 to express all its liveliness. A model that's certainly more versatile than its predecessors. The rebirth of Ducati models of yesteryear haunts you, but the GT leaves you speechless... Take a look at the Sport or the Paul Smart.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 9 reviews
The engine is fantastic, with plenty of torque, and it picks up speed even below 3000 rpm. It's really nice when coming out of a turn.
The original steel rims with inner tubes create a certain amount of inertia when changing angles. Once equipped with 999 aluminum rims and good tires, it's transformed. It becomes much more responsive. It's a real pleasure to ride it on winding roads. The ground clearance is more than adequate.
The brakes aren't very responsive. For me, they're fine even when riding fast, but you have to pull hard on the lever. If you want to improve them, 999 calipers with 1200 MTS discs will solve the problem. The rear brake works, which is not very common on Ducatis.
But this is a bike you ride fast and use the engine brake a lot.
Many owners complain about the original suspension, but for me it's part of the charm of this Ducati. If you want comfort, buy a BMW.
It's a really fun bike and I never get tired of it. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Sergi
