Sport Classic: Sport 1000 monoposto


So, you’ve just had a no-holds-barred blow-out with your significant other. Perhaps your gaze lingered a little too long on the server at your favorite bistro or office politics have forced you to once again postpone that longpromised family vacation.Whatever the circumstances, you know from experience that there will be no peace in the kingdom tonight.What do you do? The Dr. Phils of the world would probably suggest that you peel yourself off the canvas and “talk it out.” But for those of you who have yet to completely surrender your cojones, Ducati may have just the answer for this dilemma: the 2007 SportClassic Sport 1000 monoposto.

Instead of spending another sleepless night sniveling on the couch, hop in the saddle of this classic street-fighter and remember what it feels like to play by your own rules. The Sport 1000’s elegant, minimalist styling is inspired by the 70s era Café Racers that became the ultimate symbol of youthful rebellion for a generation of motorcycle enthusiasts. In fact the Sport 1000’s clearest predecessor, the 1973 Ducati 750 Sport, remains one of the most sought after vintage bikes on the market. In that spirit, the Sport 1000 features classic clip on handle bars, a tubular Trellis frame, chromed stainless steel spokes, and replica vintage tires. Despite the throwback design, the engineers at Ducati haven’t lost their thirst for innovation.Weighing in at a lean 394 lbs and fitted with a wet clutch, the Sport 1000 unleashes 92 horses from its Desmo 1000 DS engine. And best of all for our purposes, it’s a single-seater. So the quality time you’ll spend on this bike will only be shared with the open road.
