Ducati launches GT1000

Ducati has launched a 'number three in its sport classic range, dubbed the GT1000.

Like the rest of the range, it refers back to the 1970s using a combination of retro styling matched to a modern version of its two-valve fuel-injected powerplant, claiming 92 horses.

The GT was announced several months ago, but has been the last to be launched. Australian pricing has yet to be revealed.

Ducati's rationale for the bike says: "Engineer Taglioni's first production machine to use the new 750 engine would be the GT 750 which was introduced onto the market in 1971. The bikes captured the bold ‘70s styling with metal flake paint jobs of orange, blue and green reflecting off chrome Silentium mufflers and polished aluminium engine cases. The "round case" design bevel twin is still regarded as one of the most beautiful Ducati, for that matter, motorcycle engine of all time."
