The Ducati Sport 1000S

***


One model - Two versions was what we mentioned on the Sport 1000 details. In truth the Ducati Sport 1000S is also a variation on these models.

As with the Ducati Sport 1000 Monoposto, the Ducati Sport 1000S is truly styled around the cafe racer design with a layed forward riding position thanks to the low clip-ons and rear set footrests. The rider is faced with the same retro styled white faced dash that supplies all the information a rider could want including the time of day. In the case of the 1000S however all of this is beautifully cocooned in the sleek cafe racer cockpit fairing that has the mirrors mounted on it rather that the end of the handlebars.

As far as engine and running gear is concerned, the Ducati Sport 1000S as with the other two sport 1000 models is a bike that has been designed and built using the lastest technology, geometry and materials.

The rigid trellis frame that cunningly uses the engine as a stressed member married with the adjustable 43mm upside down Marzochi forks, adjustable twin sachs rear shocks and huge swingarm produces a chassis that will amaze in the first few miles of riding. The Retro looks are so convincing that it is hard for the mind to concieve that this bike really does handle like a supersports bike.
Its confidence inspiring feedback will soon have you putting the L-Twin 992cc air cooled engine through its paces. The sound of this machine is infectious....

Coming to a halt is no problem. Twin 320mm discs with 2 piston brembos ensure that this wolf in sheeps clothing stops on a sixpence.

The 1000S comes as standard with a removable rear seat cowl.
