#RoadTest

Admit it. You’ve shopped for a motorcycle before and have probably thought to yourself, “what if I checked every option off the list and put it on this bike?” It would be something, wouldn’t it? To have the ultimate version of a motorcycle is the kind of thing dreams are made of. Imagine a world where you spared no expense on your bike and slapped on only the best parts money could buy. Some of us are lucky enough to see that dream become reality. Others, meanwhile, think more modestly and are just happy with the bike we have.

Our old pal Yossef Schvetz is back for another edition of Church of MO. This time the year is 2007, and the bike? The Ducati GT1000 Sport Classic. At a time when the auto world was going crazy introducing retro-themed models, Ducati took a page out of the same book and released three retro-inspired bikes of their own: the Sport 1000, the GT1000 seen here, and the highly sought after Paul Smart 1000. The Sport and Paul Smart received a lot of fanfare, but the most practical of the three variants was this, the GT1000. Here, Schvetz gives us his take on the new-old Ducati. Also, be sure to check out the photo gallery to see even more pictures from this test.
