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 Ducati SportClassic family, which includes the Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition, the Sport 1000 and the GT 1000, reflects the styling of the motorcycles built in Ducati's workshops in the 1970's, characterised by a minimalist racing look, with exposed chassis and engines, complimented by bodywork with elegant rounded shapes.Even though they reflect the best of the past, they incorporate the latest Ducati technology and engineering, creating a thoroughly modern motorcycle that lives up to today's standards of road-going performance.
