Test riding my Ducati Sport Classic 1000

[@alpanzo3973]

i fell in love with this bike after watching TRON: Legacy... Still dreaming about it, it's been 12 years! :D Great bike. I hope you to enjoy it to the fullest and drive safe!

[@projectTex]

Thank you! I think everyone did when it came on screen including myself. I do my best to take care of it and make sure she gets the ride time she deserves. It is an amazing motorcycle to ride.

[@alpanzo3973]

@@projectTex Yeah, it's great that you are riding it consistently. Bikes and cars are meant to be driven, they are not meant to sit in a garage... Have a nice day!

[@Bennny_10]

I’m with you my brother. My dream is to own one these. Right after I buy my house.

[@cole_mchugh]

Same. After tron I’ve wanted this bike so bad. I still do

[@yardenl1998]

This movie and thus bike is the reason I got my own Cafe Racer and modified it to look like the Ducati Sport Classic. Love my RE GT535

[@mordinsolus9414]

Badass bike! I've wanted one since seeing Tron , have owned other Ducati(s/es) But most sport classic 1000s that come my way are are beat-up bikes. I feel resoring those are going to be a bitch expensive endeavor.

You're 100% correct. Finding good used sports cars/bikes is rough, takes a long time, and needs a bit of good luck as well.

[@canyoncarver]

I've had the same bike since almost new. 30.000 miles so far and nothing but smiles! Enjoy yours !

[@Spartansrule118]

Has yours had any unexpected issues?

[@jeromekiemes6543]

Hi from Luxemburg, Europe 🇱🇺. I bought one in May 2022. It's from 2006. Amazing bike nothing to do with a Japanese 4 cylindres. Pure joy 😊 and fun 🇮🇹

[@ampassionstruck9138]

Luxembourg = luxury, the richest country in the world 😊😊

[@_ArsNova]

Awesome ride. Gotta like of the redline ranges on these bikes. Feels nice revving an engine out that far haha

[@workman88]

The brembos make me love my bike so much more. I love the confidence I have riding it.

[@Raziel3794]

big respect to the wrx at 6:10 for that distance given

[@ciggsy]

Damn, i want the exact bike you have, hope i get it soon

[@Guy-mx4fb]

Such nice rodes,i stopped riding wheni moved to Los Angeles, it's s nightmare here

[@philhawley1219]

Looking and sounding ok. Even that pop on the overrun isn't bad but it doesn't come close to the old bevel Ducatis with open Dell'Orto carbs and Conti silencers. Blame the EPA and greeny wankers!

[@Sora-o]

I'm so jealous.

[@StruKer950]

9:48 why Ar yu RuNing vibes 🤣

[@HeartBreakJ13]

What mods, if any, have you done to the bike? Especially to make it sound like that?!

[@mysticalyog472]

my dad has one of them but in red

[@George-on5hi]

Yeah that is awesome

[@neal2879]

I can't hear any down changes. What technique are you using?

[@projectTex]

I wouldn't say I was using a technique as much as I was experimenting with the bike on deceleration. Prior to this I was having issues with the bike dying on me as I came to a stop from anything above 4k rpm. Some of the lights I kill the throttle entirely to see if the bike would die again and other times I rev matched to see if there was any change or effect. Next video I'll be sure to catch some nice downshifting pops and crackles.

[@Spartansrule118]

@@projectTex has the bike been reliable?

[@projectTex]

@@Spartansrule118 So far. When I purchased it I needed to change the belts due to them being so old. Other than the changing spark plugs and the notorious rectifier issue these and the monsters have, the bike has ran amazing.

[@Apxatr]

I want one where did you get yours

[@foxtrot1662]

I’m selling a 2007 yellow sport classic. DM me if you’re interested.

[@johndoe6878]

[@PK-bb8kw]

Can you sell the bike,? I want to buy it

[@projectTex]

Sorry my guy. It’s priceless to me. Gave an arm and leg to get it myself.

[@PK-bb8kw]

ok, thank you

[@PK-bb8kw]

Can you please tell me how much it, to buy?

[@PK-bb8kw]

And we're to buy it?

[@projectTex]

@@PK-bb8kw Unfortunately they don’t sell this model anymore. 2010 was the last year of production. The only place you can find one is online from a private seller.
