New Retro Ducati

http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2006/d...Name=GT1000-06

Looks ok from some angles but TBH I think its a bit of an uggo !

Discuss:

odd

not sure if I like it or not

has classic appeal but does look a tad too much like a 125 commuter

I think need to see in flesh

Not my cup of tea at all. I think a classic is a classic, most times a modern that is made to like like a classic fails (unless it's the GT40).

Tricky...I have to agree,not my cup of tea at all. However I would love the bike shown below! :P

OMFG what were they smoking

At first I thought it looked ok, then after looking longer I decided that I didnt like it....

Lets hope they dont do a 600 version then - no performance at all!

The model with the twin exausts at one side looks far better, the Sport 1000.

See here

I wonder what Ducati think they're making, wedging all those modern bits on a retro. It just looks ridiculous. You can make a modern-ish retro without totally abandoning the character of the original, just look at the Bonnies, but these things are just awful.

Now I think that looks ok, it has that certian bitsa charm about it.
Pretty cool piece of engineering too.
