- Aww, isn't that sweet... if only!
There is no romance or niceties between Dutch and Vikki when it comes to who has the best iteration of their own personal Ducati Sport Classic bikes.
The two of them talk us through mods to their own bikes, a little history about them and some competitive squabbling thrown in for good measure.
Nothing new there then...

I really love the way he speaks and I can listen to him all the day if he is talking about bikes...such a humble passionate guy in talk!!
Completely the opposite to the Dot Cotton next to him
Louder doesn’t really means better, the black Ducati is not as loud as the white one but sounds just perfectly right!
"I've got a looooovely backend here" and he just lets it go right past
a perfect gentleman
Viki reactions are the best!! Makes me happy how she defends her bike!
Ducati... the Sport 1000 has been dead for almost a decade now. Revive this beautiful machine under it's own name. Even if it's the same damn thing!
if they did revive it it better be the same design i love this bike
I love watching amazing projects like this. So much passion in each bike! Both are irreplaceable
Great video, it’s great to see so much passion for these bikes.
Excellent stuff. ...bike talk and relationship therapy in the same video! You guy's know your Ducati's for sure. I know where there is a Paul Smart replica languishing in a garden shed in Scotland ....abandoned and unused but sadly not for sale! Steve
Fun banter between the two. Dynamic and energetic. And I LOVE the bikes! Those are masterpieces!
She is the dominant one in the relationship.
You think so? I think they have a pretty even type of relationship
You say that like it’s a bad thing?
She's got that big v energy.
Love her energy its bad ass love to have a strong woman like her!
Ducati really need to re-sell these under the scrambler brand with the big 1100 motor in them, c'mon ducati!
Love these bikes and the presentation. I've only just started taking an interest in the Ducati classics despite doing a lot of work for them in the early 2000s and living 25 mins from the factory here in Bologna. Just a little point, because i'm a pedantic git, the pronounciation of 'Biposto' is be...posto and not bye...posto, if that makes any sense.
Great video ! would love to see more videos of both!
Hands off Ducati"s. They're already works of art and performance.
Awesome videos guys keep em up 👌🏻
Y’all are goals 😂😂
I LOVE these bikes. One day I will have one. Easily my favorite sportbike design and favorite of all the Ducaties for sure. Lucky lucky lucky
My GT1000 is for sale... Check the Bike Shed Classifieds for details.
He wears the trousers, she tells him which pair!
We need 100% more Vikki in these videos (and yes her bike was louder).
Damn straight we do! I do try... i'll push a little harder! [Dan]
The black was louder and the sound was much better. But she was louder that's for sure.
Hey guys, from your experience, what’s your preference on tires? The phantoms are really good-looking but not that grippy..
Where did you get the exhaust supports on the duc sport classic 1000? I'd love to get those versus the stock supports with the pegs. thanks in advance.
You guys, and the shed. Are awesome. I'm gonna miss it moving to alicante/Murcia. ( Big Ash Predator Xdiavel S1000rr man)
ah man, that's a shame, but we'll be here for if/when you find yourself back here!
Want one. From a bona fide Guzzi Big Twin fan. The only other Ducati i'd consider owning is the S2R Monster.
Both are great hot bikes
Love that classic look! Seems the headlamp on the black one is to high... or pointing upwards? Don’t know but looks a little off to me. Great and beautiful bikes both of them! Congrats!
2 Masterpiece, love them. 👍🏼
Here's an S
They both suck both are equally horrible.
This is my dream bike! Sadly for me they've gone up in price over the years and there are few left.
PVTfluffy yea like 18 to 20gs. I've been looking since 2012. Tron is what pulled me in.
Can just about build a beautiful bike for that price
@@ToxiicWarningyou can still find the cheaper version(the white one) for around 8k USD. Swap the tank and seat. You'd be in total around 9500 USD. I have a red one (like the guys white one) and did this.
Nice guys couldn't agree more. I've got one of the last SS made and a 1098S . Both are highly modified. The SS is just plain nice to ride in the real world. You can use all the performance and have a fantastic time. The 1098 is just plain nuts. You can't use all the performance . Nice bikes guys
I love that one bike hardened up the GT and the other softened the Sport Classic. Guess you've met in the middle.
One bike I will never sell is my M1100, long live the desmodue engine !
IMO nothing sounds better than the DS1000 motors and Termi pipes because they’re so bassy and boomy... probably owing to their sheer size and shape, which is why Dutch’s pipes look better but lose the sound battle. I myself prefer knee indents on the tank vs the Guzzi V7 look to the Sport 1000 tank. Both beautiful bikes. Great vid.
Pair of great looking and good sounding bikes! To add to the sound debate, mine sounds even better still though - original mono with 2 into one termi ;)
Couple goals
I have one of these and they sell transparent covers for the belts (you won't lose any of the looks and it would be safer.)
At a first glance I liked both.
But why does Vikki's have passenger pegs?
And why does Dutch's have an exposed timing belt?
Vikki's has multiple seat options and used to take a passenger (her, when it was Dutch's bike). Lot's of Ducati owners run open timing belts. There is some minimal risk of taking on stones (or flares) but accidental damage is very rare. You also gain cooling and constant inspection - and it looks great.
Guys that’s awesome!
Glad you agree!
This made me smile, not just because of the bikes but because of their relationship. :)
Great video, thanks. Both are great, sound test in my opinion, 1st hers 2nd place his.
18:49 the correct way to make noise!!! (love it, love you!)
is it a competition of which sounds better or which pollutes better😒
Was sadly unaware of these bikes until I saw one in Tron legacy and was instantly like "whats that" I need one, shame they are now so rare/expensive... top of my wish list so maybe one day. Beautiful bikes guys, can tell you love them.
OMG Vikki's is AMAZING!!!!!
Hers looks like a 90's 900SS minus the faring with a traditional light. Nice. (edit) I prefer hers, buy his is nice too.
Aha love it! :)
gotta love a woman on a bike
Yeah, on the passenger seat.
What a dirty, nasty sound from these bikes. Amazing.
nice bikes!
well done guys, I'd be a bit worried about the smoke from Vikki's bike? has it had the ECU changed to suit the Termi's? Also, any thoughts on the fuelling, reviews on some original bikes commented on the snatchy throttle response?, my GT1000 has a' Fat Duc Manipulator' fitted, which with a 14tooth front sprocket works great, I've also sealed my tank with Caswell epoxy sealer, expansion issue's gone. any thoughts comments on any of this?
I've seen Caswel flake off after less than 24 months, so my preferred route was to avoid fuel with ethanol. So far my GT and PS1000 have been ok, but Vikki's Biposto has suffered a bit.
I was also worried about the smoke, but they bike has been standing a while with old fuel, and hasn't been trashed for a while.
Regarding the fuelling, both these bikes seem pretty good for early FI models - or certainly much better then early KTMs I owned, which were On/Off throttles. Vikki's does have a PowerCommander and mine has the termi map, but there's not much in it when you ride them back to back.
Don't let one case of Caswell failure put you off, as you know, anything will come off if the surface isn't prepped properly, ie abraded to key it up.
Where do I get that bike shed shirt?
Right here www.urbanrider.co.uk/bike-shed-store/apparel/sweatshirts-hoodies.html
Bring this one back Ducati and I'll be the first in line with cash in hand! The people have spoken!!!
You guys are so cute
I’m in love.
Lovely review! Could you tell me where you got that shocks on the GT1000? I'd like to get one of those
All from Hagon
Great show and quite clearly she is the queen
Vikki, did your mother play the biker-chick, Steve Martins GF, in “The Jerk”? As a short guy Ducatisti sole mate, love the way you role.
Your both like young kids i'm sure both bikes are awesome and we know not all equal to a rider. This was fun to watch thanks. Getting back to the Hoxton 1200 Hybrid will they ever take you up on that style?
...maybe... ;)
Sport 1000 all the way.
she and her are amazing ;)
What was the name of the company that makes the seat?
Diopa in Germany, or Star.Ace in Italy
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club would you happen to know if star.ace still makes seats? I can’t seem to find them. I just got myself a 06 Sport 1000 and looking to start modifying it.
How can I purchase gt 1000
It would be interesting to know both you guys heights. This way why could have some perspective when thinking in lowering our bikes. Great video, cheers from Portugal!
Where can i find those Ducati decals that are on the GT1000??? I've been looking for those! Thanks! Both bikes are beauties
Who’s who? Bird on the left right?
I definitely like that bike. You two probably know which I’m speaking of.
I like the style of the white bike but not a fan of the white paint job. Black paint is always classic.
lovely shape really refined body amazing style love the aggresiveness and bike not bad either haha sorry had to get that one in but to be fair they both amazing bikes in their own right
Yes it is amazing how they both suck equally
white one definitely. im seriously thinking of a red faired sports classic..only 6000lm but its $33k aud.. ouch...all my riding is highway as i live in the bush. bad part is i have to trailer it 5km to reach bitumen. 😎🙏
old one , the original!
They sound the same one its just louder :P
I want one Ducati sport 1000... I WANT ONEEE..
My goodness she has seduced me
I love how tough she is. That is one bad ass bird. Love her.
This is the Tron legacy bike?
Almost, the actual Tron model is the Sport Classic 1000 LE
@@BikeShedMotoCo Ok, thanks :) love the channel!
@11:05 should be shorter tank *
Being louder definitely doesn't mean it sounded better.
Dutch love your lady xden france
Show the paul smart!
Coming soon
His and Hers Haircuts. Not sure she warmed hers up, it was louder, but come on, warm it up!
That's what I said... Mine is louder when warm! (Dutch)
Is her bike a diesel
ha, nah we had just brought her out of winter storage to get ready for Cafe Racer Cup! Bit of cobweb blowing from the pipes and she's running cleaner now! A lot of that was actually dust from outside the arch. [Dan]
We need More Vikki videos , she is super cool
Guys, that was brilliant. I’ve sent an email on bike shed info re a bike I’m on cusp of buying...hope you have time to read and hopefully respond.
Regards and thanks for great vid
A few comments. 1. Vikki's sounded way more badass (sorry Dutch). 2. You're both incredibly lucky to own these beauties and a paul smart from Ducati's history, seriously extremely jealous. 3. It still baffles me that Ducati hasn't reissued the sports classic range to go up against the thruxton r from Triumph, seriously I think them doing that would cause some amazing innovation and competition between the two brands. In my opinion Triumph has been absolutely crushing it with their new moderns while Ducati has just been milking the scrambler range, which I personally do not like the look of. Lastly, I'm located in LA, Dutch if you're ever in town I'd love to buy you a flat white and talk for a few minutes, cheers!
Hey Aj. We're in town right now, but only for another day or two and mostly out of Centra until we fly. We'll be back at the end of Jan '19.
@@BikeShedMotoCo would love to meet up Jan 2019, let me know if you have any time or meet up plans. Cheers!
Let her talk about her bike dude
Vikki is 🔥❤️
Funny thing is (and I hate to break it to you) but neither of you have the best Ducati Sport Classic....I do! ;-) GT1000 rebuilt by Ray Petty last year. Dutch knows....
hmmmm..... ;)
i want sport classic so bad!
Once you're hooked, there are few alternatives...
Isn't that open motor look bad for it? All mud and dirt gets between the belts...
It's common to run open timing belts. Accidents or damage are very rare.
They are both sport classics!! Doesn’t matter is one is named a GT
Put that belt cover back on, before you have a really bad a day.
The white one smokes like the black one looks...
Funny vid. I have a Ducati 2007 S4RS custom. Similar but better looking, lighter, and smokes both of your bikes @135hp. How about them apples?
Vicky I agree with you your bike does look quite a bit better, don't get me wrong I do like the black one also but it's just too much black for me, and Vicky's absolutely does sound better also LOL
Love the open belt cases but id be petrified that stone or a someones penis would find its way in-between the belt and pulley :o
Woman with short hair are never annoying.
vicky can have it. LOL
She is friking hot! The bikes are cool too.
I like the sport 1000 over the GT1000
That's the only style of bike I wouldn't get in white..I thought, then I saw this video. Bello machines works of functional art.
It has the worst standard fork for a Ducati that I've ever owned (MHR) or ridden, and I have ridden a few. With better springs it's a lot better, but still clearly has its limitations before anything else is being pushed on the bike. Still great fun though and love the style of the GT. The Öhlins suspension is by comparison ACE, but like all Öhlins suspension you need to set it up (the standard fork is crap no matter what you do - by comparison).
You're probably right. Both these bikes have Wilbur progressive springs and heavier fork oil. It's been so long, I forgot to mention it.
How tall is Vikki?
