Bemærkninger
Kører fedt med masser af bundtræk.... lyder helt vildt godt :-) Kan iøvrigt købes!

Tekst fra test som jeg iøvrigt er stort set enig i. Men der står i testen at man ikke kan køre på den i mere en en halv time... vås... jeg er 46 og ikke i særlig god form, og jeg kan sagtens køre i flere timer uden problemer. Så slem er den altså heller ikke at sidde på. Siddepositionen minder meget om den på Ducati`s nyere superbikes.

This is the kind of bike that you enjoy staring at for hours, but which excludes all the technical disadvantages of riding an original classic piece of two-wheeled machinery simply because it is brand new. While the style is immediately recognized as being consecrated decades ago, the 992 cc, air-cooled, two valves per cylinder Desmodromic engine is all about performance. Fed through the 45 mm throttle body of the Marelli electronic fuel injection system, the unit develops 92 hp at 8,000 rpm and 67.3 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. Also, this is coupled to a six-speed gearbox with fairly tall ratios, managing to meet Euro3 emissions regulations.
History

Ducati SportClassic Sport 1000 S
In the 1970s, it was all about removing all the unnecessary bits of a motorcycle and increase performance as much as possible and by all means available then. It was the golden age of the café racers and Italy wasn’t eschewed. Also, racing bikes of the time were characterized by the half fairing and windscreen wrapped around the round headlight. That’s exactly what Ducati intends to recreate with this new model and we reckon that it succeeds.

Competition

Italians are a bit special in everything, especially when building cars and motorcycles. So while the SportClassic Sport 1000 biposto dueled with the Triumph Thruxton , Ducati was searching for ways to change things in their benefit. The answer came with the all-new 2008 SportClassic Sport 1000 S, but as good as this would look, the British bike manufacturer stands a good chance to still get its fair share of the market, especially now that the biposto is no longer available.

Exterior

Ducati SportClassic Sport 1000 S
Ducati is definitely up to something here with this double sport classic motorcycle, which looks pretty much like its name says. Being a classic bike, you expect the 17-inch spoke wheels with black aluminum rims, but not the large diameter brake discs. Also, the 3.9 gallons tank features the right shape and size, but looks kind of rudimentary, while the fairing, windscreen and headlight are all faithful to the period that they’re inspired from, almost too faithful.


The engine type itself is a reminder of the period and the fact that Ducati uses this motor on a variety of 2009 models shows how the Italian manufacturer has followed a natural evolution throughout the years.

2009 color schemes are: Red with white stripe and Black with white stripe.

Test Ride

Ducati SportClassic Sport 1000 S
When it comes to sacrificing the riding position for good looks there’s nothing quite like the Ducati Sport 1000 S. The seat is taller than you expect, you need to stretch in order to reach the handlebars and hand commands, while the footpegs arch your legs like nothing you’ve experienced before. This makes it a veritable killer around town and bags of morphine won’t make the pain go away.

So what’s the big deal about this bike anyway? The thing is that it looks incredible and sounds sick. In other words, it’s an invitation to ride, one that many people might take, but not all enjoy. Combine the riding position with the firm suspension and you’ll find that the retro looks also stand for a retro riding feel.

Ducati created this bike to be ridden on short distances and preferably by riders who don’t miss gym training. This scenario sounds plausible for the Sport 1000 S’s 992cc air-cooled engine to start showing off. Not only this sounds great, but delivers impressive amounts of torque just above 2,000 rpm, while the 92 horsepower is not a figure to be ashamed of, considering the 398 pounds dry weight and the fact that any more power wouldn’t have been valued and only make riders frustrated. Don’t get me wrong; your average Ducati Sport 1000 S rider will be very frustrated, but by the fact that he won’t be able to ride the bike continuously for more than half an hour.

The six-speed gearbox is slick, but I’m afraid that we can’t say the same thing about the clutch. The thing feels heavy and, by the time you reach fourth gear, annoying. Looking at the bright side here, at least this bike provides an accurate impression of how the original machines worked and felt.

The modern chassis ensures fast and sharp cornering, but each bump will shorten the already short ride with at least a few minutes. Quite frankly, there’s nothing else on the market that would provide a bumpier ride on not so bumpy roads. But, at least it makes a rider one with the bike and that feel is incomparable.

Looking good on a bike always required sacrifices (just ask any chopper rider), but I guess we didn’t thought at it this way.
