Ducati Sport 1000 Pictures 2010Powering the bike is the 1000 DS engine, the most advanced, most powerful Ducati air-cooled engine ever. The Sport1000 takes its inspiration from the tangerine yellow 1973 Ducati 750 Sport and has the look of a classic lightweight single-seat cafe racer. The publicity says "tangerine yellow", but the original colour went by the name "gallo fly". It uses a two valve 1000DS motor with twin stacked exhaust pipes on the right hand side in a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase, trellis tube frame. Suspension is a fully-adjustable single Sachs rear shock on the left hand side and non-adjustable 43 mm Marzocchi front forks.
