The Ducati GT1000 is part of Ducati’s Sport Classic line, built to blend retro aesthetics with modern engineering. Its air-cooled V-twin and comfortable ergonomics make it a capable road bike, but stock suspension and components limit its performance potential in aggressive riding.

For this Signature Series build, Purpose Built Moto upgraded the suspension, improving both cornering stability and road feel. We added a custom subframe and handcrafted café seat, giving the bike a sleek, low profile. A Flashpoint Classic LED Headlight and Hollow Tip Indicators modernize the lighting, while a custom exhaust enhances both sound and performance. Clip-on handlebars complete the racer stance, giving this GT1000 a more dynamic and responsive riding position.

With these modifications, the GT1000 is transformed into a stunning café racer that handles as sharp as it looks.
