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.

Ducati North America announced the release of the 2007 Sport 1000 mono Special Edition, which is being produced exclusively for the North American market.


Production of this model will be limited to 100 units (90 for the US and 10 for Canada). With only 100 units being produced, this will be one of the rarest Ducatis made in recent history.


Combining modern technology and historic design, the Sport 1000 SE embodies the spirit of the legendary 1978 Ducati 900SS "Darmah" and features the timeless Black and Gold paint scheme.

 

Each of the limited 100 monoposto (single seat) 2007 Sport 1000 SE models will be identified by a numbered plaque, located on the triple clamp. The motorcycle also features a twin muffler "shotgun" exhaust, spoke wire wheels and Brembo brakes. It is powered by the 992cc dual spark motor, which puts out impressive torque and horsepower figures for an air-cooled engine.


The 2007 Ducati Sport 1000 mono SE has a MSRP of $11,495 ($13,995 CND) and is currently available in dealer showrooms throughout North America.


A classic for today


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.
