All motorcycles are meant to be ridden and some are meant to be kept, but for this Paul Smart Edition Ducati from 2006, it became a bit of both. It appeared on Bring a Trailer a while back, and it was officially sold on August 16, 2023, for the hefty sum of $19,250 USD.
What makes this sale so special is that the Paul Smart 1000LE is one of just 2,000 examples built by Ducati. Made to commemorate Paul Smart’s victory at Imola in 1972, it’s one collector piece that an avid collector will definitely keep in pristine condition. One such example ended up selling for 42 and a half big ones, $42,500 USD, and that particular piece had only two miles on the clock.
