In 2007, Ducati released a limited edition of just 100 SportClassics exclusively for the North American market. Called the Special Edition, it combined modern tech with traditionally-inspired design that was styled to remind Ducati fans of the 1978 900SS Darmah with its classic black and gold paint scheme. 90 were sold in the US, and 10 were sold in Canada.
The Special Edition is one of the rarest modern Ducatis, and they were sold as Monopostos with an identification plaque on the triple trees. Other modifications to make this bike unique included spoked wire wheels, twin muffler shotgun exhaust, and one Sachs shock (as opposed to the dual shocks of the other SportClassics) to make room for said exhaust.
This example is VIN: ZDM1WABP47B004378. The seller purchased the bike new from Marin Speed Shop / Hattar Motorsports and states, “I was looking for a bike to get from my house in San Francisco to downtown San Francisco quickly. A 15 min drive to downtown SF from my house could end up being a 45min to an hour drive during traffic/rush hour. With a motorcycle no matter the traffic it could remain a 15 min drive. I fell in love with cafe racers, and I saw this beautiful bike at the dealership. I fell in love with it and also fell in love with the rarity of it. I truly am going to miss the bike and riding across the Golden Gate Bridge on it. The bike has been garaged and babied. I hope this bike goes to someone that will really appreciate it, for it isn’t just a regular motorcycle.”
The odometer shows 6,204 miles.
