Paul Smarts famous victory in the 1972 Imola 200 riding what would become the 750SS was instrumental in establishing Ducati as a high-performance brand for the modern era. So what better way to celebrate the Bologna marques heritage than a limited edition model in the spirit of the iconic 750SS? The Paul Smart 1000 LE uses the air-cooled 1000DS v-twin engine, which is housed in the Italian firms trademark trellis frame, the latter complemented by some top-quality hlins suspension and Brembo brakes. In no way a replica; this is a thoroughly modern motorcycles with only the styling and colour scheme acknowledging the past.
