Ducati GT1000 Cafe Racer with Custom Mods

[greeksalsa123]

I am 5 11. I think the stock bike is a tad high, which is why I had the higher quality (and lower height), suspension put on.

[aidanvinum]

how tall are you?

[aidanvinum]

i am a little bit over 5' 6"....will this bike be too tall for me?

i am used to bobbers and cafe's.

thanks.

Weird modding...

"Just like any Italian women!" Haha

[RedlineS2K]

One of the best looking bikes ever, congrats man, truley great work, I believe I saw the bike locally couple times on Alki, actually looks much nicer in person.

@SalsaconTodo- Great GT! I have an '07 in Creme and Black and LOVE IT!

Don't forget that Backfire Moto is tomorrow (wednesday the 18th) in Ballard- 17th and Leary.

Hope to see ya there!

The most impressive bike I`ve seen for a long time. I guess i will pick up some of your ideas for my own. Have good ride.

[eeemanjam]

I saw the coolest Ducati bike, I´ve made a little video of it, I´m not sure what model it is, never seen one like it. Def one of my favorites ! I got it on my channel if anyone want to help me figure it out..

[Kevin6432]

Love your bike. Looks fantastic.

[skiinjohn]

Nice work. I love your seat. I've got one in the works to madify the stock look of my GT. Enjoy the ride...

[jdtms89]

amazing bike man! Am looking to get one just like this, thanks for the inspiration!

[simonenglish1]

Not sure why people feel the need to trash talk your ride, whatever I guess! It's yours and your opinion and yours alone is what's important.

I just bought my first bike today, a new 2010 GT1000 Black, had them throw in some bar end mirrors too. I really love the GT1000, it's totally Rock n Roll. I pick mine up tomorrow night or Thursday morning...I agree with the removal of the GT1000 decal you did, much cleaner!

MAKE SUCH A NICE BIKE LOOK SO AWFULL should be punished..

btw this is not an ol' british look, my father had in that ol' times norton and matchless cafe racers and they didn't look so bad (didn¨t had the gay long fenders)

50's art deco?

[DucatiS2R1000S]

amazing bike...problem is Italian women have tendency to gain weight after first child, still love them to death

[spinn8888]

Where did you get the seat and fenders ?

[51jjm]

[retrorides1]

Absolutely beautiful GT1000! love the modifications, especially the lowering of the shocks and the white pin striping. That saddle is great too.

[3dg3y15]

Nice bike! Not everyone's cup of tea but YOUR motorbike is what YOU want to make it. I like cafe racer styles, unsure if I'd own one myself but I do love your paintwork, fenders and bars with those bar-end mirrors, achieved a great mean look and sound!

[fasirt748]

focking horrible looking....

[hundo123]

Sweet Ducati but, I really think the rear fender looks completely out of place...looks like it s not the right fender and you made it fit......sorry

[ktlady1986]

very nice bike....and a great vid ta boot!

[eddieshieh]

Great job... Look into Gerhart Design Studio for custom brackets to lower guages...

[919colorado23]

How comfortable is it long distance without wind protection?

[3rdfrett]

Love the look, especially the paint and the seat. Where did you find the seat and what brand is it?

[greeksalsa123]

@3rdfrett  I had it made in Seattle by Rich's custom upholstery. They basically fit it to you.

[3rdfrett]

@greeksalsa123 Nice job, looks great.

[dukeedaddy1]

Cool looking bike.

Nice mods, not over the top.

I particularly like the seat.

[MidEnginedFan]

Nice work! Love the front fender.

[Gasmaster57]

Interesting mods - not the run of the mill ones you typically see on GTs. Nice work!

If for any reason you get tired of the Termis and want something "period" to your Brit retro-theme, take a look at the Keihan Conti replicas if you haven't already

[greeksalsa123]

@Gasmaster57

Yes those Conti pipes are cool. I wander what they sound like? I love the termi note and volume...
