Difference between PS and 1000s

[cafesforlife]

Other than being a special edition, from what I can tell:

1. Single side rear shock and curved swingarm (monoposto). I prefer the biposto and the option of going 2 up.
2. Dry clutch. Other than the cosmetic difference, I like wet better as it should last longer. Any other advantages of the dry clutch other than the coolness factor of exposing the plate and the clicking noise?
3. Better forks in te front (gold Ohlins)? How good are these compared to stock 1000s forks? I can find one reasonably priced and much better quality.

What else? Do they have the same steering dampener as the sport 1000s? Rear shocks? Any other differences?

Thanks in advance for the opinions/inputs.

They both have the same steering damper, but its not adjustable and not Ohlins.
The PS single shock is an Ohlins fully adjustable shock
The exhaust on the PS exits on the right side only
The PS has "Ducati Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition" inscribed on the cap that hold the upper fairing bracket.
The Ohlins forks and shock on the PS are fully adjustable vs No adjustment at all on the Sport forks. Night and day difference plus you can upgrade the valving on the Ohlins forks for more aggressive ridding.

It is really the premium parts they put on
We have the Ohlins catridge kit to make the showa forks Ohlins internals
or wait for the Ohlins forks we are coming out with in Black or Gold
and the DU707 rear Shock make a pretty big difference
Springs rated to your riding weight and Spring color available in Black or Yellow
The Ohlins Steering damper is a remarkable upgrade from stock damper

Other then that
wheels, brake caliper/rotor/pump upgrade
Rear brake conversion upgrade
Tinted screens
Yellow

Blue


Bar end mirrors
on and on we go
I love this motorcycle!!
