It may be a two-seater, but the Sport 1000 S retains all the hallmark Café Racer styling, with the added benefit that you can enjoy its impressive performance either alone or two-up.

The new color scheme retains the characteristic longitudinal white stripe, while offering red on red for the frame and fairing.

The spoked wheels with aluminum rims, the hub and the exhaust pipes are black, along with a number of other engine parts, for a stark contrast with the red frame and fairing.  This contrast gives the new Sport 1000 S an attractive and decidedly aggressive look, without compromising its retro form and charm.

The removable rear seat cover contributes to the typical Café Racer look of the Sport 1000 S, but take it off and you'll find a comfortable pillion seat underneath.  What's more, the bike features an unmistakable 1970s style upper fairing with the pronounced, rounded shape that characterized the great competition bikes.

The Sport 1000 S was built with close attention to the quality of its components.  The race-bred trellis frame and sports suspension give the bike outstanding road-holding.

The Sport 1000 S mounts high-performance Marzocchi 43mm upside down forks with chromed forks caps, for a classic look, while rear suspension duties are handled by a high-performance Sachs twin shocks, which are fully adjustable for spring pre-load, compression and rebound damping.

The style of the Sport 1000 S is classic Café Racer and delivers both outstanding road-holding and the typical performance of a thoroughbred Ducati. 

The sole color available is Ducati Red with red frame and aluminum wheels.
