The Ducati Sport Classic range was inspired by landmark models from the Italian manufacturer's past and premiered at the 2003 Tokyo Show. The work of the firm's chief designer, Pierre Terblanche, these limited-edition models were mechanically similar, all using Ducati's trademark trellis frame and Desmodue 992cc twin-plug engine. The first models offered (in 2006) were the Sport 1000, supposedly inspired by the 750 Sport of 1972, and the Paul Smart Limited Edition, which featured the green frame and silver cycle parts of the British ace's 1972 Imola winner. The following year they were joined by the GT 1000 tourer and 1000S sports roadster, the latter's looks – reminiscent of the Ducati 750 F1 of the mid-1980s – being arguably the most successful of the range. Produced for only a few years, these rare Sports Classics are becoming increasingly collectible.

This matching numbers Ducati Sport 1000S was purchased from its first owner by the last owner in 2009 with an odometer reading of 1,860 kilometres (currently only 2,200 kilometres). In spite of its low 'mileage', the machine has been run regularly, and serviced and stored as it should be. Previously leading a pampered life in Monaco, it is presented in pristine condition and is unquestionably one of the best-looking motorcycles of recent times. Offered with NOVA acknowledgement, the successful purchaser will need to apply to register the machine.
