The Biposto is the two-seat, unfaired Sport 1000 of the SportClassic family, a retro café-racer style bike with an exposed engine and spoked wheels. It has a dual seat with removable pillion cover, taller clip-ons, a wet clutch and twin rear shocks, making it more usable than the early single-seat version. It is powered by the air-cooled 992 cc two-valve Desmo twin.
