Ducati SportClassic GT 1000's?
I didn't think too much of it before but i just saw the newer black/cream paint job.

Nice.

How does it compare to your Thrux?

Man,

I just recently seen one of these. I think (personal opinion) that this bike may have the ugliest paint job that I have ever seen. U - G - L (a) Y, you aint got no alibi, your just Ugly.

As for the bike I am sure it is a great bike. Duc's are awesome in every sense. But it is not a retro classic. The bike is modern in every aspect. If I were going to get this bike it would have to be the full faring. But never the less a speed triple street fighter would be in my sight before one of these for sure.

I like the paint, it looks like an old Fender Strat style wise.

The tail realy looks jacked up. Seems like they could have done something to the frame get the geometry they wanted.

Companies like Ducati and Triumph need to put a fender elimnation kit on the cafe racers, from the factory.

The rear fender on the Bonneville looks just fine. But it looks ugly on the Thruxton and equally ugly on the gt1000

I too think that Duc is fugly as hell.

I really like the Paul Smart bike and the Sport Cafe bike, but the GT1000 is FUGLY!

Man, i LOVE the colors.

Agree the tail looks high.

Check out this one with a custom "aluminum look" paint job....

my favorite thing about that bike is that it's in the living room!

I wish that'd fly at my house...

I dont mind the paint so much but the 17 feet distance from the rear tire to the rear fender drives me crazy.

I was looking at the Bike the other day in a shop in NYC. I actually asked the sales person if it was setup correctly.

I dont know why but that pic makes me think of a bunny rabbit.
