Someone over at the Ducati.ms snapped this spiffy photo of the new Ducati GT 1000. Best picts I’ve seen thus far of the new ride… You read of the thread here.

As an original owner of a 1974 750GT (still got it and it still rocks), I have a passing interest in the SportClassics. My main beef with the aesthetics of the new GT are the tank and elevated rear end. It would seem that Terblanche could have given up some travel or otherwise diminished the air space back there. Also, one of the elements that made the GT even better looking (to some) than the original Sport and SS was the graceful tank with its blend of curves and angles. It was unique to the model and not shared as in this case. Pity. I prefer the designes of Tamburini, and rather than wait for something worthy of the original, I bought an MV Agusa Brutale and couldn’t be happier.
Nice 1st production pic..glad to see chromed clutch cover is gone! and wet slipper would be welcome. Noticed rims look diff from others?? wonder if they are still excel?? In any case my dealer called to finalize my order and I went with the new red color..delivery still scheduled for late april or probably may, regards , Allen
Clutch is wet and the wheels are steel. It weighs about 12 lbs more than the Sport.
