In the 1970s, sport riders were modifying their street bikes with some of what they saw being used on the racetrack, including clip-on handlebars, rear set footpegs, and ‘fast’ colours. This was done just as much for the look as for increased performance. The Café Racer style was born.
The Sport 1000 monoposto elegantly captures the bold style of the early bikes with its clip-on handlebars and monoposto single seat. The Sport 1000 is built with quality throughout: it mounts high performance Marzocchi front forks with classic brushed aluminium surfaces and a massive 60mm swingarm with a fully adjustable single Sachs shock. The unique suspension layout of the Sport 1000 ensures that its look matches the classic appeal of the bike, while still delivering the superior road holding and performance you expect from Ducati.
