For me the radiator needs refining....they could have designed one to fit between the frame downtubes or w.h.y. Also had old steel head and barrel shape.That is finned head wider than the barrel

Like from brazil. I would not cut de exaust, i would change it for other, just to keep the original Anyway, pretty sound.

Good track cafee resers

Bonneville 2011, sometimes it would not start, dealer says the switch is marginal. I have to pull the clutch all the way in. I pull the clutch already as a habit, it bothers me to pull all the way in. So I will "neutralize" this switch one way or the other. Also, this little "safety device" (safety against what?) can get you stranded in the middle of nowhere if it failed.

You're old school clunky blinkers look amazing. I've seen a few pictures online where people do front and back blinkers it looks like a z1.

Switch looks the same as Zusuki 1500.

I visited a Ducati store in 2007 and walked out with the GT1000, the more rider-friendly version of this bike. But I remember this and the Paul Smart on the floor of the store. It was the end of the riding season and they had not sold. Nobody was buying these when they were new. How I rue that I did not buy both this and a Paul Smart.

Thanks for nothing tf

I assume that you didn't do any driving around with it. I wonder if there is an appreciable difference in power with having it on. I, personally, really don't like the way these cars sound and it's the only thing really stopping me from picking one up. I'm searching around for some obscure exhaust setups that may suit my tastes as I don't even like the way the stock exhaust sounds, either (the tone and it's too loud for how it sounds, to me). Any feedback is appreciated.

This mod has mproved my 1200 Thruxton. I'm in Australia but not anywhere near a town let alone a city. First is a bit fast for off road. As yes I have to ride on dirt/clay/ gravel. These Bonneville bikes are excellent off the bitumen. I have modded the suspension with Tech Engineering progressive springs and preloaders and bi turbo rear shocks. The hard stock suspension, which gave great handling, only worked on city bitumen not Australian country roads, where I needed to soak up the irregularities and still have precise , secure handling.

hey! how's the visibility with that mk4 style rear wing?

What are those mirrors?

The Thruxton RS does not have the plastic snorkel. I’m sure it’s safe to remove it on older version of the Thruxtons. Since Triumph also remove it themselves.

Ive always maintenanced my own bikes but the dealership i bought from gives you lifetime warranty on motor and trans if you have them do all maintenance so I'll take that warranty

Errmm, from an investment standpoint you should ride it. Stagnation kills desmo ducatis. Belts rot when they aren't being used. It's a rider's bike. Go ride it, people will pay over the odds for a well riden Ducati.

Why no talking at the start of the video?

great video!!! I owe a 2010, my gas tank is different, any other differences between your and mine?

Good riding. I just picked up a z900rs cafe. Was thinking about raising the bars up for more comfortable cruising. Think I should swap the bars out or just do a riser? Bike is nice how it’s set up.

To me, 16 years later, still more beautiful than 90% of the sport bikes today. Ducati makes timeless beauties!

I love Ducati Sport Classics. They are the bike.

Don’t love it 😢. Thruxton 1200 wannabe

Thank yiu

I have the same problem. Except that it will only start with the kickstand up and clutch in.

If you get the chance , ride a 2008 Ducati S4RS Monster .You will need a week to get the grin off your face.

do cleaning cars videos pls

I dont understand the market on these bikes. It's a glorified monster with an uncomfortable riding position.

Where did you purchase that pipe for $ 35.00?

Indeed it is! Haven't even seen the top of 6th yet. 👍

My triumph wouldn’t start and I swear this is my problem. I got a 2018 street triple and it does same thing ur does. Bypassed the clutch and starter switch and started bike straight from starter and it kicked right on. Pray it is cause im 98% sure. Fuses and everything with battery was good

Wish I could find a larger windscreen without that ski jump on top! Sexy mirrors, though

I mean not bad? I wish I had a little advocate running around behind me with a camera.😎

i own a '08 1098..... love the bike. absolutely great on the twisties, granted it's down on power compared to today's modern superbikes, but it will get more looks than most of the bikes out there today. and a bonus it will keep up with most of the bikes on the street today. maintainance is a must, but what a great bike.

Old Ducatis look so special.

Should check the chain tension in a few spots along the chain as chains never wear uniformly. The tightest part of the chain should be within specs. You can buy various tools to check if the chain is straight. That is one mighty clean chain and sprocket :) Here in the UK we rarely have dry days so our bikes get dirtier due to water on the roads and not only that, our roads are full of potholes.

What a beautiful bike! So many carbon performance parts if i noticed correctly. I got my 2008 in yellow, its gorgeous too

World’s easier bike to change oil. Try a Goldwing DCT - 3 drain plugs and upside down DCT filter close to the ground with tricky O-ring.

nice ride and nice bikes Dorian

Longtime listener, First time caller. Ducati N00B, but looking to buy one myself. Can you refer me to a source or reference material on this “tank issue”?

Were do I get the carbon trim

I just bought a 1092s 3 days ago my first impressions are it’s an awesome bike for sure could do worse mine is in a little better condition I agree the levers could be bigger and for me it’s a little small I’m 6’3 and feel like it’s too small but yeah these bikes will just go up in value for sure

Subscribed. Great taste in bikes (and the car). I have a BMW R nineT and a couple of older BMW airheads. Figured I'd branch out for my next motorcycle purchase and these two models are the ones I'm most interested in. You just happen to have both of them LOL. I really like the current (and last) year of the Thruxton thats out now in that British Racing Green, but if timing aligns and I can get a Sport Classic for a not insane price then that just might be the way I go.

Less talking more riding

Better ride the twistys , i have a Paul smart here in France and enjoy pushing the suspension and work the Frame on the back roads where the bikes happiest Cheers ,ian

Using an oxy-acytylene torch would've been easier and faster

What is the fairing here, if you dont mind me asking?

Hi Dorian, cool bike content! Where did you get the front fairing or did it come stock? I'm looking for one for my thruxton 1200 pure white too! :) Btw, love the Ducati sport classic! Ride safe!

Where do you get the rear stand bobbins? I have a 2022 Bonneville T120

Ok so after some months can you tell me if everything it’s normal ?

I would imagine the air is hotter down there and that's why Triumph adds that piece. Also, it looks like the piece does not make the air intake smaller, so there should not be any difference in the air flow.
