This is the kind of bike that you enjoy staring at for hours, but which excludes all the technical disadvantages of riding an original classic piece of two-wheeled machinery simply because it is brand new. While the style is immediately recognized as being consecrated decades ago, the 992 cc, air-cooled, two valves per cylinder Desmodromic engine is all about performance.

Like all SportClassic models, the Sport 1000 S comes with Marzocchi 43mm upside-down front forks with classic brushed aluminum surfaces, while rear suspension works with twin high performance fully adjustable Sachs shocks. Ducati is definitely up to something here with this double sport classic motorcycle, which looks pretty much like its name says. Being a classic bike, you expect the 17-inch spoke wheels with black aluminum rims, but not the large diameter brake discs. Also, the 3.9 gallons tank features the right shape and size, but looks kind of rudimentary, while the fairing, windscreen and headlight are all faithful to the period that they’re inspired from, almost too faithful.

And, for improved handling, the Sport 1000 was built on Ducati’s trellis frame. And speaking of handling, there’s a reason a Ducati Sport 1000 was the hero bike in Tron: Uprising. Unfortunately, the Ducati SportClassic line wasn’t particularly successful. Production stopped in 2010. Ironically, that’s roughly about when the current trend for retro bikes started to pick up.
