Ducati SportClassic

Posted by Naked Rider in Motorcycles

Ducati’s SportClassic caught my eye from across the room.  The dealer had it tucked back in the corner behind some sport bikes.  Compared to the average sport bike this was the coolest looking bike on the floor.  I appreciate the designers making a new bike feel old.  Triumph does this with the Scrambler but the Ducati reminds me of a fast café racer.  With a 992 cc fuel-injected engine producing 92 hp and 67 lb-ft of torque probably goes faster than any of the original café racers.
