2008 Ducati Sport1000S

Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

Ducati kicked off its range of SportClassic bikes with the Sport1000 in 2005. Taking inspiration from the 1973 Ducati 750 Sport, the model combined the look of a classic lightweight single-seat cafe racer and the feel of a modern sport bike. It used a two-valve 1000DS motor stuffed in a trellis tube frame with a 56.1 in wheelbase.

In 2007, Ducati expanded the SportClassic lineup with the Sport1000S. Along with a retro-styled fairing like the Paul Smart, it also came equipped with a dual-shock swingarm, a wet clutch, and a set of lowered handlebars. For the first two years of production, Ducati only offered the Sport1000S in one colorway: red with a white stripe.

If anything, the changes only added to the experience. As VisorDown put it best in their review: “The Ducati 1000S is exactly what a modern retro bike should be. It takes the best styling components of a classic and puts them into a modern chassis that works.”
