Ducati is presenting the new Monster 1100 bike at Intermot but also the new GT1000 Touring.
The new GT 1000 Touring is an evolution of the Sport Classic family in terms of its components and accessories.
The bike has a classic look with chrome handlebars , a luggage rack and front and rear fenders.
The colour of the new Touring is gloss black.
Troy’s Ducati 1098 and Casey Stoner’s GP bike are on show at the stand in Cologne.
“We have decided to strengthen our presence at Cologne,” stated Gabriele Del Torchio, Ducati’s CEO, during the show’s opening press conference, “because we understand the importance of this trade show, the show that opens the season for European industry exhibitions.
Our strong presence here also demonstrates our commitment with regard to the German clients as well as clarifying our intention to grow in the German market, the second most important European market for Ducati.
For these reasons we have decided to present the Monster 1100 and the new GT 1000 Touring for the first time here.
”Gabriele Del Torchio also commented on the results of the first six months of 2008, stating that, “Despite the slowing of the motorcycle market across the world, with sales in Europe falling by more than 7%, Ducati, thanks to its products and to the quality of its distribution networks has grown by roughly 8% with regard to the previous year.
