Sport Classic price ranges

Looking at Sport Classics to get me an air cooled Ducati. There seems to be a wide range of prices just among the basic model. From what i understand there are three versions, the SC1000, the S and the PS. The models I have been looking at are what i think are the basic SC, but range in price from 9k to double that. The more expensive ones seem to have more mods, which i know cost money. A fairly stock 2007 SC 1000 with under 10k milage should go for $8500 to $9500 I think. Am i right about that?

There are 4 models of Sport Classic. GT 1000. Sport 1000. Sport 1000S. Paul Smart. Some people also include the earlier 2002 limited edition MH900 in the Sport Classic range. They sell for silly money. The PS was only made in 2006 and they also sell for big bucks. The Sport 1000 was a single shock Monoposto with a dry clutch in 2006 (as was the PS) and there was also a similarly equipped limited edition black and gold Z Stripe Sport 1000 in 2007. Starting in 2007 all models were dual shock and Biposto with a wet clutch. You'll have to be a very lucky boy to find any nice clean low mileage Sport Classic (except perhaps a GT) in the price range you mentioned.

Thanks for that lesson. This one is a GT, and the two others I saw were Sport 1000's...twice the price. I want a GT because I dont want the low bars. I would change the pipes though, those GT's have a wide ass. One I looked at was two tone, dark blue and light beige? From the pic that's what it looked like. Never saw that combo before on a Ducati.

I paid close to twice your estimate number Canadian for a very well equipped ‘09 GT1000 touring ,which came with 8 boxes of accessories & take off parts , odometer was at 12,000 kms , bike was pristine , I figured a bargain …. Exactly 12 months ago,love this bike ! …. Last time I checked online here in Canada 5 or 6 SC’s listed on Kijiji Canada , prices were 10k- to over 20 ….

As I have aged my '06 S1K become...less comfortable to ride. A few years ago I picked up a GT top triple clamp and changed the clip ons to handle bars that were a little bit taller and flatter. Much better for comfort and I think with the extra leverage from the bars it handles a little better as well but I do miss the way the bike looked with the clip ons. I've had mine since new and other than the usual issues (tank expansion, voltage regulator etc.) it has been a very reliable and pretty low maintenance bike. And it's the only powered vehicle I've ever bought new that is probably worth more now than when I bought it. No matter which model you get, new pipes and a tune are a necessity to make it sound like a Duc and run correctly. The first SC I rode was a new and 100% stock GT and it was really not a fun ride due to the poor fueling from the factory. I mentioned it to the dealer and he told me to take a spin on his S1K demo which had a full Termi 2/1 system and the "race" ECU. I went back the next day and bought a new one just like the demo bike.

I did the same thing to my yellow biposto, as I mentioned in a few other posts, and it is a game changer... I did do it because I have the luxury of having two bipostos and I left my black one with clip-ons lower than stock and mono rear-sets, so it's quite aggressive, and at 46 y/o I can ride it for a couple hours before starting to suffer...
but it was fairly inexpensive to convert the controls to wide bars:
GT steering heard was $300 give or take.
Rhizome bars and risers were $250
GT controls and throttle cables were $300 total if I recall.

I was swapping the brake lines anyway but you'd need to get longer brake lines as well.. so probably like $1000 for parts...
I imagine I'll give my black one the same treatment one day when it's too hard to ride with clip ons.

"A fairly stock 2007 SC 1000 with under 10k milage should go for $8500 to $9500 I think. Am i right about that?"

If you find one within these parameters pounce immediately. I think minimum it would be $13K and more likely to be $15K... with price going up if it has improved components such as exhaust, brakes, suspension, wheels etc..

I think the second colour of the two tone beige bike was black rather than navy. Very 70s.
Over here in Aus, I think price is pretty much only correlated with condition. The immaculate bikes, modified or not, ask bigger dollars. The bikes that have been used alot and may be ready for a refresh not so much.
I think the GT makes alot of sense for a bike to enjoy riding, modifying as desired, and being sensible money (relatively speaking).
Good luck with your hunt.

Stock SC1000 has been ranging from ~$12k to $30k depending on condition, mileage, and year (2006 going for slightly more than biposto / wet clutch years ‘07+

Gently modded SC1000 — tack on about $2k+ to the aforementioned range.

Highly modded SC1000 have variable ranges, from $12k to $35k depending on how much of a crime the mod job was. Some people take their naturally beautiful bikes, and mod them until they look like a Hollywood poster child for too much plastic surgery. It’s a damn shame.

PS just plain goes for $35k+ now.

GT’s are less sought after and more available, so chop about $5k or more off then SC1K prices.

1000S and LE are… priced midrange between SC1000 and PS, leaning heavily toward SC1K prices.

The prices of 2019 & 2020 (or earlier) no longer apply, so don’t expect those prices again. Inflation has been ~17% (real, not reported) for a couple years now, and people have been scooping up bikes, so there are fewer. Thus, expect SC1K (for example) to go for twice what they did two years ago.

Not talking prices, but here is the "official" Ducati Sport Classic lineup sold in USA:

  • 2006
    • Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition
    • Sport 1000
    • GT1000
  • 2007
    • Sport 1000 Monoposto
    • Sport 1000 Biposto
    • Sport 1000 S
    • GT1000
  • 2008
    • Sport Classic GT1000
    • Sport 1000 Biposto
    • Sport 1000S
  • 2009
    • GT1000 Touring
    • GT1000
    • Sport 1000S
  • 2010
    • GT1000
So what is the difference between the GT1000 and the Sport Classic GT1000? Or is it just a different year name change and basically the same bike.

I'm not sure that the GT was sold in 2006 as a 2006. Mine is the 1st Sport Classic sold in my town and it's a 2007. I put money down and waited 1.5 years for it.

The GT1000 Touring was the only two tone paint on the SC line, I believe. It came with steel chromed fenders and an alloy chain guard (I have both of those on my GT1000).

Prices are definitely going up:


$11K for a low miles 1000S on 7/20


$19K for a low miles 1000S on 10/21


$20.5K for a low miles 1000S on 8/22

Whoever bought this in 2019 was smart: No Reserve: 2007 Ducati Sport Classic 1000 Biposto

Doing a basic search for any SC for sale currently reflects their scarcity, hence the price.

(I'm glad I bought mine new...)

Hey mates, thanks for all the pricing updates. I have not posted in a while. Have a 07 GT and an Paul Smart.

considering letting the Paul smart go and was/am very confused what it is worth, hear many things, so this was a great thread to start with.

I posted a thread here in 2015 when I bought the PS - miles are about 2000 or so now, I need to check. thread “ new to me Paul smart” - many mods listed in that thread. Deeply appreciate any further thoughts on the bike with mods listed and how to price her.

getting back on the GT more, a far more rideable bike for my age ha -

it is nice to read this community again, a great place and resource. Cheers and thank you to you all
