On display for the past few years, this Ducati Paso 906 might be ready for revival. With just about 5,000 miles, some rubber, belts, and maybe a seal or two should be all that’s required for some nice riding.
1990 Ducati Paso 906 for sale on eBay
Penned by Massimo Tamburini for the 1985 show season, the Paso model was introduced as a 750, and a major upgrade came in 1989 with 906 engine ( peculiarly displacing 904 cc ), water cooling and 6-speed transmission. A strong square-tube frame is beneath the bodywork which conceals all the mysteries. Marocchi forks and Ohlins rear monoshock are accompanied by Brembo brakes. In the GP fashion of the time, 16-inch Oscam wheels are fitted.
Looking excellent in the many good pictures, this Paso has only a couple of mods, a Corbin seat and Ferracci mufflers. Pretty sure these came with a center stand but I’m not seeing it. The tank is signed, but the auction doesn’t divulge by whom. Loving those faired round mirrors. From the eBay auction:
There is good chance that my Paso 906 may be the best one you’ll ever find in its original condition on eBay. Only 100 Paso 906s were imported to the US back in the difficult days of Ducati. This one has served me only for its good looks in my office as a Massimo Tamburini art-piece and later in our TV room along my other Tamburini Ducatis as a show-bike. I have not driven it in 3.5 years. I had it completely serviced before I put it up for display. It needs a battery. The tires are all original from 1989 when it left the Ducati factory. Drive it or show it. No damage whatsoever.
While time in the gallery is not deducted from a bike’s life span, a comprehensive service would be required to return this Paso to the road. It would be worth doing, though early Paso’s suffered rideability squawks due to their single carburetor, these were ironed out with the 906. Underneath the bodywork are Ducati’s excellent frame design and handling, and top quality components. If the soap-bar styling of the Paso speaks to you, this would be a great bike to bring home from the museum shop…
-donn
be careful , i just bought this sellers 907 ie and he represented it as babied and well taken care of, except Trevor at Ducati of Santa Barbara just informed me the valves had never been adjusted, still had Cagiva factory shims. just wanted to give anyone considering this 906 a heads up.
plus the 906 still had the wonky fueling system, the 907 ie was the right one to get, good move
these were the rich mans vfr750 back in the early 90s werent they? except slower and more maintenance
