2007 Ducati Sport Classic Sport 1000 S

In a repeat of history, Ducati now follows the 1970s trend of individualism and performance enhancement by introducing a period-style fairing to create the Sport 1000 S. Boasting a dual seat and twin shocks, the Sport 1000 S lets you enjoy the Café Racer style two-up. A bold new colour scheme features red bodywork on a red frame. Black wheels and a black exhaust system contrast strongly against the red bike and other black components complete the classic picture. A removable tailpiece cover gives the Sport 1000 S the Café Racer look, but when removed reveals a seat for your favourite passenger.

Ducati road holding
The Sport 1000 S is built with quality throughout. Its confident road holding is thanks to its race-inspired Trellis frame and sport-tuned suspension. It mounts high performance Marzocchi 43mm upside-down front forks with classic brushed aluminium surfaces, while rear suspension is handled by twin high performance fully adjustable Sachs shocks. The Sport 1000 S bristles with classic Café Racer appeal, while still delivering the superior road holding and performance you expect from Ducati.

2007 Ducati Sport Classic Sport 1000 bip

In the 1970s, sport riders were modifying their street bikes with some of what they saw being used on the racetrack, including clip-on handlebars, rear set footpegs, and ‘fast’ colours. This was done just as much for the look as for increased performance. The Café Racer style was born.

A classic for today - now coming with seating for two.
The new 2007 Sport 1000 biposto, with a comfortable dual seat, raised handlebars and classic twin shocks, elegantly captures the bold style of the early bikes. A removable rear seat cover gives the Sport 1000 biposto the Café Racer look, but when removed reveals a seat for your favourite passenger. The Sport 1000 is also available in the monoposto version. Whether you select the monoposto or biposto version, the Sport 1000 is built with quality throughout. The Sport 1000 biposto mounts high performance Marzocchi front forks with classic brushed aluminium surfaces. For rear suspension it mounts a massive 60mm swingarm, with twin fully adjustable Sachs shocks. The unique suspension layout of the Sport 1000 biposto ensures that its look matches the classic appeal of the bike, while still delivering the superior road holding and performance you expect from Ducati

2007 Ducati Multistrada 1100 S

The Multistrada 1100 S earns its ‘S’ status by adding world-class suspension and componentry to an already loaded high performance motorcycle.

The powerful 1100 engine is matched in the ‘S’ version with the renowned Öhlins suspension front and rear. Fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins forks with low friction TiN fork sliders are complemented by a fully adjustable Öhlins rear shock for Superbike-class road holding.

The impressive list of ‘S’ components includes light and aggressive tapered alloy handlebars plus carbon fibre cam belt covers and front fender.

The Multistrada 1100 S: conquer any road.

2007 Ducati Monster S4R Testastretta

The Monster 2007 range is now bigger and better with the new S4R Testastretta. This new bike gains the famous 130 hp Testastretta low sump L-twin engine, previously mounted only on the top version S4Rs Testastretta.

Founder of the SR family, this bike takes upon a very important role, coming up alongside the S4Rs Testastretta which represents the current performance and equipment apotheosis. The S4R develops and increases in power going from 117 hp of the previous engine, to the 130 hp of the Testastretta, maintaining its very important role in the SR family: its two-sided mufflers, the aluminium trellis single-sided swingarm, the small fairing, the exclusive paint schemes, the high quality suspensions, joined together with the powerful low sump Testastretta engine, is a milestone in the development of the Monster S4R Testastretta.
A bike that, in the new Ducati 2007 range, has a very important role, catching the attention of the most exigent performance–oriented “ducatista”.

The S4R Testastretta is different from the “s” version due to the suspension. The front forks are now fully adjustable upside-down Showas, giving the customer the possibility of a perfectly balanced bike. The rear is fully adjustable with piggyback shock absorbers by Sachs, allowing modification of suspension settings. The height of the rear of the bike is adjustable too by the modification of the length of the push rod.

Whilst respecting the previous version, the S4R MY ’07, has, like the S4Rs, the prestigious Brembo front brake system. The front has now a prettier look thanks to the new front fork bottom end, purposely created to fit the Brembo radial callipers.

The new S4R Testastretta is now available in two new colour schemes: Titanium with a black stripe, and in the traditional Ducati red with a white stripe.

Both colour versions have the red frame with the black painted swingarm, just like the new Showa front fork bottom end. A lot of the other components are painted black: the headlamp support, the steering plates, the risers, the footrests and the water cooler side covers.

The bike will be available in the early October.

All 2007 Ducati models require less frequent service, less parts and labour during each service and, as a result, greatly reduced scheduled maintenance costs – by as much as 50%

2007 Ducati Multistrada 1100

The new Multistrada 1100 widens the horizons of all those who are ‘sport motorcyclists’ at heart but still want a bike they can use seven days a week. Riding a Multistrada makes every road a thrill. The punchy new 1100 Desmo L-Twin engine with smoother, more tractable power, coupled with a refined chassis, delivers confident handling and optimal comfort, even over long distances.

The unmistakable Ducati Trellis frame combines with a fully-adjustable suspension that allows the rider to adapt the bike to any road condition and every riding style. Rider comfort has been further improved with new vibration-isolated handlebars.

Superb road holding, a powerful new 1100 engine and all day comfort give the versatile Multistrada a unique personality and character in true Ducati style

2007 Ducati Monster 695

The 695 is a most unique offering in the world of motorcycles – welcoming to beginners, and yet able to deliver a level of performance that can also thrill advanced riders.

Compared to the 620, which it replaces, the 695 is a leap forward in performance. The potent new L-twin delivers much greater horsepower and torque – the highest output per cc of any Ducati air-cooled engine. But just as important, the 695's engine produces smoother and more fluid power, while still making every twist of the throttle exciting.

The 695 introduces new graphics and colour treatments in step with its increased performance. A matte black colour combined with red, long associated with Ducati Corse, has been selectively applied to the bike.

The engine of the 695 is its most important technical advancement, and much more than an additional 75 cc's of displacement might indicate. The 63 hp of the 620 has been increased to 73 hp for the 695, the highest output per cubic centimetre of all Ducati air-cooled engines.

The rider's environment on the 695 is one of comfort, control and confidence. With the lowest seat height of any Ducati, riders can plant both feet securely on the ground. The rider's position is more upright as hands reach to a set of raised handlebars that are a bit wider for increased comfort and control. The footpegs strike a comfortable balance between a rearward 'sport' position and a forward 'laid-back' sport cruiser position. All in all, a rider feels confident and in control aboard a Monster 695.

The 695 takes full advantage of the confidence inspiring road-holding and stability contribution of the Ducati trellis frame design. The trellis frame is light, rigid and beautiful, and distinctively Ducati. Quality Marzocchi 43 mm inverted forks and a Sachs rear shock, both crafted in Italy, smooth out the bumps and add their share of poise to the 695's road manners.

2007 Ducati Sport Classic GT 1000

The essential beauty and timeless style of the Ducati GT models of the 1970s now comes to life again with this bike. The new Ducati GT1000 is a bike to be ridden every day, with a balance of two-up comfort and Ducati Desmo Twin performance. The classic tradition of Italian Grand Touring returns in a successful mix of style and performance, available also in a special new two-tone version.

The philosophy that lies behind the new Ducati SportClassic family finds further emphasis in this new model, which completes the range and fully lives up to the expectations and promises made at the moment of its Tokyo Motorshow launch in October 2003.

As you would expect from a motorcycle inspired by the original icons of Ducati sport motorcycles, every element and component is built with only the highest quality materials and engineered with performance as a priority. Although classically inspired, the GT is a modern Ducati motorcycle, so it must be powerful, handle confidently and be exciting to ride every day.

The shapes of the GT1000 are modern interpretations of the classic lines of the original GTs of the 70s. The rather slim fuel tank features knee cut-outs on the sides and deep sculpting that allows a comfortable riding position. Full fender front is mounted with elegant aluminium tubing braces. The trim side covers remind us of the 70's originals, and feature small venting holes for accent. Many of the details like the top crowns, fork caps and handlebar mounts are finished in polished aluminium, and are complimented with the chrome surfaces of the wheels, instrument trim, handlebars and horn covers. Finally, the classic look is completed with chrome full-length exhaust pipes and mufflers, one per side.

The rider's position on the GT1000 is one of comfort and control. The chromed tubular steel handlebars enables an upright riding position to be maintained. A well-padded dual seat is sewn in a classic pattern and features 'Ducati' printed in white proudly on the back. Rider footpegs are placed conservatively forward allowing comfort and good ground clearance at the same time. The GT1000 is a true two-seater, so the passenger's footpegs are also sensibly placed for all-day comfort.

The advanced Desmo 1000 Dual Spark engine powers the GT1000. The torquey air-cooled L-twin is the perfect match for the GT1000's comfort and performance attributes. Alloy cylinders, with their traditional cooling fins form the classic "L" configuration, reminding us of the original Taglioni design. Slim between the legs and exposed for all to see, the latest two-valve Desmo system, fuel-injection, computer controlled engine management and Ducati Testastretta technology ensure that the 1000 DS engine is powerful, dependable and thrilling to ride.
