79 GTS Import numbers..
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 7:30 am
I was told that the 79 GTS had a very low US import number. Is this true? Is the 79 GTS a bit of a rare bike?
According to Ian Falloon's "Standard Catalog of Ducati Motorcycles" p.101 the 860 GTS became the 900 GTS for 1978, with 30 GTS USAs produced in '78 and 40 in '79. So it seems as thought they were pretty rare even by Ducati standards, with fewer made than the same year 900SS US models (33 and 160 respectively, p.106).
