Anybody got any big press photos of the new two-tone GT1000? With Ducati saddlebags and/or windscreen would be even better. Please post or link!

I like the silver pinstripe (at least thats what it looks like), and even the placement of color, but HATE the cream color.... Orange and black would have been very

Um, there are plenty of red Vespas too. What's your point? I also seem to recall 50's era Bentley's and Rolls-Royces with 2 tone schemes like this GT.

FWIW and, bottom line, I still agree with the point I think Parkec was making. I don't much care for the way this bike looks in pictures. In person, it might be outstanding, but I won't know until i actually see one. The one detail I really like is the way the black Ducati stencil stands out on the cream background. But, like Dietrich, I think I would've preferred many other colors to the cream. The red photoshopped one we saw a while back was nice but I think I'd prefer a pearl white or silver. I'd also consider reversing the colors so that the bottom of the tank was white, contrasting with the black frame. But that might be a bit too much.

Silver would be sweet......

When I first heard of the two-tone GT coming out I was kicking myself, thinking I should have waited 'cause surely I would like it the best, but once I saw the colors they chose I was OK with mine. Still think about painting it to match the black Sport 1000 sometimes though...

I'm with you on that one.

Very nice looking bike!! Thanks for the post, 07faster.

I think its flat-out ugly. Cruiserish. Yuk.

Admittedly, that's based on the pics alone.

More specifically, the paint job takes the eyes away from the motor which is the bike's jewel. There are some nice details (such as the framing lines between the colors) but the overall 'cut' -- which should lead the eyes along until one sees the thing as a whole -- just, again, IMO, don't.

Here's what I assume is an original GT Black and Tan:

I think it's a cool color scheme but that's my opinion. In fact I've got a $500 deposit on one
