Released in 1986 and named after racer Renzo Pasolini, the Ducati Paso was a bike created from odd beginnings. Built during the tumultuous years when Ducati was owned by Cagiva, this bike was designed to compete with the up and coming Japanese superbikes of the time.
Designed by the famous Massimo Tamburini, this bike is as enveloped in plastic as it gets. The tire situation on this bike (pre-1991) was very interesting. For a while, the 16 inch front tires were NLA. Only a few months ago, a company starting making replacements and pretty much has a lock on the market. You can find info on that here. A limited edition was produced in white instead of the usual red. Only 50 of these examples were created, and all were brought to the United States.
This example has 8,220 miles and it’s equipped with Brevtti exhaust, otherwise it seems to be pretty stock. Per the seller, “recent service of all fluids, carb clean and sync, valves checked, always garaged but shows some minor scuffs and scrapes on inspection. Never down, never crashed, clean title.”
