2005 Ducati Sport Classic 1000S Paul Smart Edition

Every now and then, a factory motorcycle transcends mere transportation and becomes a cultural touchstone. The 2005 Ducati Sport Classic 1000 Paul Smart Limited Edition (LE) isn't just a bike; it's a tribute to the moment the modern Ducati brand was born.

This is your chance to acquire one of the most desirable motorcycles of the 21st century, a machine that may have single-handedly ignited the global 'Modern Classic' movement.

This machine draws its visual DNA from one of the most critical motorcycles in Ducati history: the 1972 Ducati 750 Imola Desmo. That year, a young Paul Smart rode a 750cc Desmo competition bike to a legendary victory at the Imola 200 race, beating Giacomo Agostini and effectively putting the small Bologna factory on the global map as a racing powerhouse. The 1974 750SS that followed with its distinctive green frame, silver/green fairing, and silver tank, was a street-legal race replica.

The Paul Smart 1000 LE is the ultimate homage to that original race machine and the subsequent 750SS that followed. It combines the aesthetic of the 1970s lightweight racer with the reliability and performance of a modern twin.

This specific 2005 model is a highly coveted example from a production run of just 2,000 units worldwide.
