I want  a Ducati sport 1000. That is all!

Go get one. That is all!



 [cheeky]

I want one too! Bad!  Real Bad!  in Black, single side exhaust, Termis. tail chopped. rearsets, Ohlins fronts, open clutch....  [cheeky]

Nope, needs the Zard exhaust (the 2 separate pipes) - other than that, though, you have it right on.

Those Zards are bad ass - if you get said sport classic, and you go for an exhaust, it's imperative to get the Zards. Nothing sounds liek them.

i want one too! hopefully i can find one with a gas tank that isn't double it's factory size yet ;D ;D ;D

The Zards look and sound pretty sick, but personally, I'm a sucker for Boom Tubes.

+11tyb.

I know where there is one for sale

oops..... that is all

I don't think they work on that bike.

How about a group buy  [moto]

zards look awesome, but NOTHING sounds like Termis...Nothing!!! I want a red one, but there is something about the  yellow ones that are bad!!!!!

+1 Too open.

The Zards are the only way to go on the SC. Baddest exhaust ever!  [bow_down]

Can't find any great shots (Help DDGM) of Vivaleduc's bike, but here is pure class in Porsche racing blue...and Zards.  [bow_down]

This is just after people pounded them for posting pics of his "Phoenix" before they installed the pipes.

Patience, funny how that stuff works.

Gorgeous paint.

This thread needs more pictures.
What about the ThunderDuc?

I like the Zards, but I also like the actual old school pipes on this beast:

Which now belongs to one of our own.

I've been looking at them also, and man I think the sport classic, I really want one.  Trying to talk the wife into letting me find an 2006 with the dry clutch, but an 2007, or 2008 biposto would be a great bike also.

I really like the yellow with the ZARD pipes, and the dry clutch. Me really Like the Sport Classic.

here's one in dallas.  very nice.

With the Monster gone japanese, this remains the true Ducati.
Will they bring back the Koenigswelle ? Or just something that looks like it...
Yeah, I hear you...I want one to ...almost as bad as a MH900e

If you guys seriously want one, you best make that deal soon as the only Sport Classic in the line up for 2010 will be the GT.  Sport and Sport S are gone...   We have 2 Sports and one S in inventory..

I'm really liking the Hyper 796!!!   White with the black beak!!!!!!  Yummy!!!! [bacon]

Hi guys!
I got one for sell here!
Those are some nice looking SCs  [bow_down]

I as well also plan on eventually picking up a used sport classic.
I have so many ideas, just need the cash  [bang]

What's the reasoning behind the asymmetrical swingarm?

I found a good deal on a yellow 06, and I know that is the color that copied the 73 750 sport however the red ones look awesome. I also wonder if i would look at it the same way I used to look at my M800 dark

Prolly so the lower can fits.

Then what's with this?

(http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2007models/2007-Ducati-Sport1000Sb.jpg)

A 2008 red Sport S  ???

That swingarm is symmetrical. Its basically a tubular version of the old DSS Monster swingarm. And that's basically a dressed up version of the exhaust from a DSS monster.

The swingarm was only asymmetrical on the 2006 model, and that was, as mentioned, to accommodate the stock exhaust system. Zard just took advantage of the "swoop" and put a tip there.

2006 was also (as far as I know) the only year they used a dry clutch. 

That being said, the asymmetrical swingarm is not necessarily any better than the later ones. Hell, I've worn through the paint on that "swoop" with my boot heel. If it were the later style arm, I wouldn't have to get it repainted/powder coated.

Then again, its an opportunity to mod. Who am I to pregnant dog?

07 as well.

There ya go. Thanks for the assist, Head Hunter.  [thumbsup]

That's what I was getting at. Why did some of them have the asymmetrical SA and some didn't...

The '06 Sport and Paul Smart were mono seat only, and had single rear shocks with the asymetrical swingarm.  I suppose the sweep in the swingarm might have provided better bracing against twisting for the shock being only on one side ( I know I wouldn't want to run only one shock on my symetrical swingarm-ed GT1000), and so they took advantage of it with the exhaust routing.  I also suspect it was a design exercise.  The 2007 Sport and Sport S are biposto bikes.  The rear cowl comes off.  Two rear shocks.  Symetrical swingarms. 

I think the asymmetry is intriguing...

The later bi-posto models needed the different exhaust setup to accommodate passenger footpegs.

OMG...I never realized the bike I was looking to buy was mono only...i thought it was just a seat cowl...I guess just 1 more reason to look for another monster!

This is correct to an extent.  There was a number of '06 Mono Sport 1000s that were still left over, so the factory gave them a flash black/gold paint job, a numbered plaque on the top triple and called them limited.  Those were really the only '07s with the asymmetrical swing arm and dry clutch.

Yea, that one is BAD ASS!!  Owner is in Belgium, and has a great stock of tasty Trappist Ales in his garage.   [thumbsup]

That's a slick polished header. There was a guy that would come to the shop in Nashville that would do the same thing to your stock headers. Looks good when done, because it gets a 'slight' brown tint in the polished metal.

You got it...  take away his looks, body, money and drooling women and you got me playing bongos.

ok, before we get slapped for jackin...here is a pic of the tail of Thunderduc with the tail light I am contemplating...
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Thunderduc/IMG_9334.jpg?t=1256492505)

 [laugh] I like the light, nice and small....  [laugh] of coarse it also kinda looks like a bug from a Pixar animation. Could I talk you into putting a couple antenna on either side. Then I could giggle if I could ever catch you.  ;)




In all seriousness, it's a good light.

That does look nice.  Or, you could go look in the sport classic section of Ducati.ms and search for the WASP Tail Chop.  Lots of folks love that one...

http://www.ducati.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=42513 (http://www.ducati.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=42513)

There, even did it for ya.  ;)

That looks exactly like the mod I did for my Monster a few years back. 

Not a huge fan of the wasp...too much plastic.  I put one on the last SC I helped a buddy build and it was the only part that didn;t fit the spirit of the bike...same with the FLEDA systems...good workmanship on both, but just not the ideal lights.

Or I could be a rebel and not go with any....  lol.   I am already gonna get pulled over (again) for the noise of the pipes (1 on the 1098 and 1 on the monster...doh)

Good points on the Asymmetric rear.  I like it even more now.  Def. has to do with the Monoposto. I can't wait till the day I get one.   Only concern is the Tank issue, warping...

Yep, and that is pretty significant.  My local dealer has 6!!! being replaced.

I saw a thread on ducati.ms that has some new aluminum tanks

New aluminum tanks for the sport classic?

Here is a custom made aluminum tank on a Sport 1000.  Made by Evan Wilcox of the Tankshop

Awesome.  I love it!

Holy crap!  :o

I think I just... yep, I just messed my pants.

Want. Very much want.

PLEASE stop posting pictures like that...I just about had myself talked out of it!!!!

going thru that thread, I was so geeking out over that bike, I missed the BST's! Then someone mentioned them further into the thread! Had to go back & look.  That bike is frickin' awesome!  The tank issue is one thing that would keep me from buying an SC.  That & the fact I won't have the $ for the next few years. (Kids & college [bang])

For those following along/contemplating:

<FURIOUSLY jotting down ideas>

'06 Sport 1000.........................~$5,000 (Salvage title.)
BST wheels.............................~$3,000
Ohlins Suspension.....................~$2,000
Zard exhaust...........................~$1,500 (Add $500-600 to have someone reflash/tune the ECU.)
Custom aluminum tank...............~$1,000 (Totally scientific, wild-ass guess. Prolly more.)
Rear Sets (Same as a 2001+SS)..~$400

He's also got Oberon mirrors, a top-mount steering damper, aftermarket triples, Rizoma grips, a SuperSprox rear sprocket, an aftermaket clutch slave cylinder, BrakeTech front rotors, Brembo 4-pad calipers, and a GT 1000 front fender. Oh, and he's had the seat re-covered.

$15,000 would be a STEAL.

OH SHIT!    want!

That is one sharp looking bike.    :)

My Dealer , Motohio, has a Paul Smart w, 900 miles.

Seems an older guy had bought it and couldn't get used to riding position so he parked it until he traded it recently.

It has a full Termi system .

A very cool scoot that I would have liked to have had but with the S1000RR coming , no room.

Dolph       :)

s1000RR? I must of missed that post a picture!

Coming.......won't be here until after the 1st of the year.

Then photos will be posted.

Didn't mean to get you all excited !

Dear Santa,
I have been a very, very good boy this year. Please bring me this for Christmas.
Thank you,

i havre a question, im on a long search, a walkabout if you will, to replace my 696. Im tired of it. some of you may have noticed me saying i wanted a harley. thats over, thank god. now i want a sport classic, with zards. starting to look for used ones.

my questions

1. how much is a 2004 ish SC going for?
2. how much are zards for it? cant seemt o get it answered on zards web site
3. can you ride two up with the zard exhaust?
3-a. is it possible to switch seats from a monoposto to biposto with that exhaust? is it as easy as popping a seat off? what about panier foot pegs?

thanks guys

im craving one sooo bad

Have you looked at the GT1000? If you're talking two up riding, you're probably going to like the GT1000 much better than the SC.

same thing i thought, whats the diff?

after reading Ducati.ms, i noticed for the zards to work you need a single sided shock on the back, ami correct? is that model just 2004?

and

does anyone know anything about this bike?
http://www.ducati.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=96044 (http://www.ducati.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=96044)

tjhanks a ton guys!

oh oh oh

what would a 2009 696 go for with termis, DP ECU, tail chop and 6700 miles on it go for? maybe 6500? 7000? (hopefully)

Ah, they didn't have the Sport Classic line in 2004. Am I reading your post right? 2006 was the first year and the SC1000/Paul Smart had the solo side mount shock. That was the only year.

Fixed it for you.  There is/was no such thing as a Sport Classic 1000.  Sport Classic is/was the model line, and Sport1000 is a model.   [thumbsup]

ok, so after 06 they added dual shocks? is that the only year that can have that sweet zard set up?

Sort of.  There are a few '07 limited edition mono bikes floating around out there.  They're basically left over '06s that got a snazzy paint job and a numbered plaque though. 

The Zard system that you are referring to is very nice, but it is also quite pricey and hard to come by.  Rumor has it that Zard quit making them a while back.  BUT, you can always get a similar system for the biposto bikes, if you don't mind going through NCR that is.   [evil]

Thanks. Fumbled that one... kinda like the Cowboys. [laugh] Think I'd know better since I have one. [bang] [laugh] [laugh]

not sure what the evil means, $$$? any pictures? are they single sided, or like the blue ncr bike?

there is a yellow w black stripe sport1000 at our shop that the owner is about to sell.

2-1 ti full system, dry clutch (its a 2006), extra clean, under 2,000 mi.

(our shop is in dallas if you are up for a drive)

Anything with the three magic letters, NCR, is big money.

how much? dry clutch os peeerfect for me, that has the single shocl too right? so someday if i find a used or new ($1,800 ouch) Zard system it'll fit?

just noticed that, wowza

Under 8K, above 7K is my guess. The bike is spotless.

What exhaust is on the bike?

Termi titanium 2 into 1. Sounds nice. It needs to be ridden. And like all SportClassics, its needs wheels for tubeless tires. (Alpina, BST, Marvic, Marchesini, etc)

Termi made a Ti 2 into 1 for S1000s? I thought it was all stainless? Guess Julie would know for sure. ;D

(http://www.ducati.ms/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=68973&stc=1&d=1274636314)




That is all

The Termi 2-into-1 full system is stainless, not Ti.

i believe you are right, just had some browning to the pipe area similar to my titanium pipes
