Ellwood Hybrid - Single Cylinder Reed Valve Intercooled 4 Stroke Engine
Oldfisti:
Interesting concept here...

"All sorts of interesting custom bikes and engine projects are coming out of Sweden all of a sudden, or at least, I’m just coming across them, and John Ellwood thought we might like to see one more, it’s his Ellwood Hybrid, a single cylinder, 4 stroke with reed valves, from a 2 stroke, mounted on the crankcase directing the crankcase pressure to charge the intake twice per power stoke. The exhaust stroke pumps the intake once and the reed valve holds the charge, the intake stroke pumps it the second time when it goes into the cylinder, so you have a 2 stroke like pumping action from under the piston and a 4 stroke firing cycle." from The Kneeslider

No, not a sportclassic, but definitely a classic Ducati.....not my strong point, but I would say its a racer from the '60s by the shape of the tail and tank 8)
