Classic GT
Created as a tribute to the essential beauty of Ducati GT models of the 1970s, the GT 1000 Touring is powered by an air-cooled 2-valve Desmo twin-cylinder engine, which delivers fluid and smooth performance. Expertly crafted in Italy, the special chrome fenders coordinate perfectly with the 70s style chrome spoked wheels and chrome rack.

Touring Comfort
The GT 1000 Touring is perfect for longer journeys as well as for every day use. Its balance of two-up comfort and the performance of the L-Twin engine are complemented by the practical touring screen, which offers protection for both rider and passenger. High handlebars ensure a comfortable and reassuring riding position and the seat, which features the Ducati logo in white across the back, is wide and perfect for long journeys, either solo or with a passenger. Both the rider and passenger footpeg positions are designed to ensure a relaxed ride with maximum comfort. The top hoop of the chromed rack also offers your passenger a comfortable grab-rail.
